Notes:
This paper describes the use of an electron microprobe for characterizing filler and polymer dispersios in polymer composites. Examples described are: filler distribution in sisal reinforced polyester; aggregation of titanium dioxide in glassreinforced polyester; mixing behavior in a blend of silicone rubber, natural rubber, and titanium dioxide; and distribution of silica in a low-gloss paint on an ABS plastic surface. The limitations of electron microprobe analyses for qualitative and quantitative studies, the use of back scattered electrons for surface topography, and techniques for preparing specimens are mentioned.
