We performed coarse-grained MD simulations of polymer nanocomposites with spherical
nanoparticles (NPs) on the basis of the Kremer–Grest model. Cases of “aggregated” and …

Nanocavitation was detected for the first time in carbon black filled styrene–butadiene
rubber (CB-SBR) under uniaxial loading by real time small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) …

Ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) is capable of probing structural inhomogeneities
in the size range of 1 to 1000 nm. Recent developments of X-ray sources and optics make …

The Mullins effect is commonly observed in the mechanical properties of elastomer/filler
composites: The stress during unloading or second loading is considerably lower than the …

A new method based on the combination of small-angle scattering, reverse Monte Carlo
simulations, and an aggregate recognition algorithm is proposed to characterize the …

In situ coupled mechanical/electrical/WAXS/SAXS investigations on EPDM-based composite
materials filled with carbon black (CB) have been performed under uniaxial tensile …

This review presents an analysis of the hierarchical structures formed in rubber-filler systems
by using combined scattering methods. The combined scattering methods utilize various …

To investigate the three-dimensional (3D) structure of nanoparticle (NP) aggregates in
rubber tire treads with a large system size, a particle-mesh-based two-dimensional (2D) …

Differences in the morphologies of silica nanoparticles (NPs) in end-modified styrene-
butadiene rubber (SBR) and non-modified SBR were analyzed by comparing ultra-small …

To verify the structure-properties relation of elongated clay nanocomposite (NC) gels
through two-dimensional scattering patterns (2DSPs), we performed coarse-grained …
