Abstract The swelling of elastomers in solvents is a useful method for determining the effective crosslinking of the polymeric structure. However, it is now shown that this method may be applied satisfactorily to highly filled polymers. A unique method has been devised for the accurate measurement of the swelling ratio of the gel phase of the filled polymers. The method is based on the observation that the binder-filler bond, for most filler particles, releases on swelling. The binder around the particle swells, leaving a hollow pocket which becomes filled with solvent. Corrections for this “waste” solvent lead to the equations from which the swelling of the polymer can be calculated. Experimental verification is given for several filled systems.

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) provides reliable information about the viscoelastic behavior of neat and filled polymers. The properties of filled polymers are relevant to different industries as protective organic coatings, composites etc. Interfacial interactions in filled polymers play an important role in determining their bulk properties and performance during service life. In this brief review article, studies that used DMA to characterize the interfacial interactions in filled polymers have been reviewed. The available open literature provides a mixed opinion about the influence of interfacial interactions on the glass transition temperature of filled polymers. Nevertheless, it appears that in the case of strong interfacial interactions between the filler particles and the polymeric matrix, the peak value of tan δ is reduced in comparison to that of a filled polymer where these interactions are weak.
