Rubber with carbon black fillers: Parameters identification of a multiscale nanostructure model
Abstract
Most materials, assumed homogeneous at a specific scale, are heterogenous at lower scale. The purpose of the homogenization methods is to link material properties between the different scales. This study is based on rubber filled with carbon black. At the nanoscopic scale, the filled rubber is heterogenous regarding microstructure and mechanical properties. In this work, we propose to describe the nanoscopic morphology of the material to model it with mathematical morphology approach. The observation and the characterization of the microstructure is based on using of TEM (Transmission Electronic Microscope) and image analysis.
