Combining mechanics, 2H NMR on stretched samples and measurement of strain-induced crystallization, we have measured the strain at various scales in polyisoprene elastomers reinforced with carbon black. We have shown that local strain inhomogeneity is more pronounced in the presence of more reinforcing carbon black grades [S. Dupres et al., Macromolecules, 2009, 42, 2634]. Related to these and other experimental results, we have developed a new mesoscale modelling of reinforced elastomers in which the glass transition temperature shift of the elastomer matrix close to fillers is implemented. The model gives a unified picture of an ensemble of complex phenomena in both the linear and nonlinear regimes of reinforced elastomers: reinforcement over a large temperature range, Payne and Mullins effects, plasticity [S. Merabia et al., Macromolecules, 2008, 41, 8252; S. Merabia et al., submitted to J. Polym. Sci. B, Polym. Phys., 2009].
