Notes:
The steady shear viscosity and dynamic moduli, at 180 and 200°C, of polystyrene composites, containing cross-linked monodisperse polystyrene beads varying in diameter from 0.2 to 0.8 μm, are independent of bead size and cross-link density, but increase with the volume fraction of beads. Steady shear viscosities exhibit power-law regions up to 40% concentration of beads, but no yield stress. Storage and loss moduli are initially linear with frequency, on double logarithmic plots, with limiting slopes of 1.3 and 0.9, respectively. Uncross-linked beads and beads cross-linked with 0.1% divinylbenzene are destroyed by thermomechanical dispersion in the melt.
