Abstract

The microstructure of carbon-black (CB) filled high density polyethylene/Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (HDPE/EPDM) composite was studied with positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) and positron annihilation Doppler spectroscopy (PADS). It was found that 3 and I3 of the long lifetime component of the PALS spectra show non-linear relations with the EPDM content. It was also noticed the DBS was very sensitive to the microstructural change in the HDPE(CB)/EPDM composites. The spatial distributions of the EPDM and the CB in the polymer are also discussed.
