AbstractThe storage and loss moduli of random copolymers of styrene and butyl methacrylate containing carbon black of varied surface area were determined by dynamic mechanical analysis at several temperatures about 100°C above the glass‐transition temperature, Tg. At low frequencies, the pure polymers exhibit linear double log plots of moduli against frequency, with slopes of unity and approaching two for G″ and G′, respectively. With the addition of carbon black filler, both G′ and G″ become independent of frequency and temperature at low frequencies, consistent with yield behavior arid the formation of a carbon black network. The limiting dynamic complex modulus exceeds the yield stress from steady shear rheology, perhaps indicating the extent of the carbon black network, which was highest for low‐molecular‐weight copolymer and polystyrene. The filled random copolymers behaved Theologically like similarly filled polystyrenes of comparable molecular weights. Plasticization effects observed in the steady shear rheology of filled copolymers containing small concentrations of carbon black were not observed in dynamic mechanical analysis, although dynamic moduli converge at high frequency.
