Abstract

We observe that the presence of filler partiocles can have a major impact on the properties of filled polymer blend materials. The filler particles, which are found in many commercial polymer blends, modify the phase boundary (interfacial tension, rate of phase separation), the geometrical form of the phase separation morphology, the transport properties of the filled polymer material, and the stability of polymer films against dewetting.
