Abstract

The mechanism of interaction of low molecular butadiene and isoprene rubbers with KCl, an inactive filler, has been investigated by IR transmission spectroscopy and by the multiattenuated total internal reflection method (MTIR). Near the solid surface of filler particles polymer macromolecules are spatially ordered. The formation and growth of surface supermolecular structures near filler particles depend on formation of a chemical or physical network as well as on the molecular weight of the rubber and on its spatial ordering and microstructure.
