Abstract

Direct electron microscope investigations of deformed samples of rubber modified polymers have revealed the mi cromeohanical processes of deformation and fracture. Hence, more detailed information has been gained about the influence of morphological parameters on the toughness of these polymers. Important morphological parameters are the particle diameter, the particle diameter distribution, the interpartiole distance, or the rubber volume content. Which type of criteria of an optimum toughness is acting depends on the deformation behaviour of the matrix polymer.
