Separation of entropy and energy elastic contributions and the strain induced crystallization during the deformation of rubber — •Konrad Schneider — Leibniz-IPF Dresden, Germany

Matrix-filler-interaction as well as strain induced crystallization (SIC) are main processes, responsible for the outstanding mechanical performance of natural rubber. By IR thermography combined with synchrotron x-ray diffraction it is possible to separate different mechanisms of deformation, reinforcement and failure in unfilled as well as filled rubber systems. Some recent measurements will be presented and discussed in detail.
