Abstract
Rubbers can be reinforced by filler such as carbon black and silica. The precise mechanism of reinforcement is, however, not well understood. In the present study, we have performed two-dimensional Ultra Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (2D-USAXS) measurements of rubber filled with spherical silica particles as a model sample. The measured 2D-USAXS images under elongation showed anisotropic scattering patterns which originate from the anisotropic structure of silica aggregates. It has been clearly shown that the filler makes aggregate structures inside the rubber.
