Abstract

Young's modulus, tensile strength and the storage shear modulus experiments were performed on silica-filled ethylene-vinyl acetate composites and the results were correlated with polymer-filler interaction energy. The polymer-filler interaction energy was determined by wetting and infrared spectroscopy experiments. The interaction energy was characterized by the work of adhesion. The results indicate there is a strong correlation between modulus and tensile strength and the work of adhesion. There was an exponential relationship of modulus and tensile strength with the reciprocal of the work of adhesion.
