Abstract
This chapter consolidated the works related to the morphological characteristics of elastomer blends and composites. Many characterization techniques are available for analyzing materials and they provide a descriptive knowledge on the structure and property relationships. Among these techniques, microscopy, an extremely important tool to all material engineers and scientists that is helpful in studying microstructure, chemical compositions, fractured surface of composites after the mechanical test, interfacial properties, size, shape, and distribution of matrix and filler particles in the blends as well as in the composites. Hence this chapter is focused a light on recent studies related to OM, AFM, TEM, FESEM of elastomer blends and its composites. Finally, the effect of plant fiber (jute fiber, cereal straw, kenaf, PALF, bamboo, flax, sugarcane bagasse, etc.) and synthetic fiber (carbon fiber, glass fiber, CNTs, etc.) and reinforced elastomer composites are also discussed.
