Heterogeneity of Nanofilled EPDM Elastomers Investigated by Inverse Laplace Transform 1H NMR Relaxometry and Rheometry
The heterogeneous effects due to filler interactions and chain dynamics of reinforcing nano‐filler particles were characterized on a series of filled EPDM elastomers using the Payne effect and low field NMR, 1H transverse (T 2), longitudinal (T 1) and longitudinal in rotating frame (T 1ρ) relaxation time measurements. Measurement of the Payne effect and NMR relaxation curves were used …
