Abstract
Glassy polymers are often used as one component of a heterogeneous, composite material; examples include fibre-reinforced plastics, filled polymers and multiphase polymer blends such as rubber-toughened plastics. In all these cases the macroscopic mechanical properties of the material depend on the microscopic characteristics of the interface between the phases. The characterization of such interfaces is generally rather difficult, but the last 10 or 15 years has seen a tremendous growth in our knowledge. This has been gained by the use of sophisticated new techniques, such as neutron reflectivity, applied to well controlled model interfaces, as well as the use of more traditional mechanical testing methods applied to interfaces for which microscopic information was available. It is hoped that this understanding of model systems may now start to be transferred to the more complicated types of problems involved in the actual use of glassy polymers in heterogeneous systems.
