Abstract
Polybutadiene rubbers, filled with polydichlorostyrene or polystyrene latices having spherical diameters of approximately 500Å, were examined by small angle x‐ray scattering. The filler latices were examined by x‐ray scattering as a function of strain. The sample elongations ranged up to 400 percent. An analysis of the scattering of the polydichlorostyrene filler latices showed that there was deformation of the filler particles up to 25 percent. Such a deformation is not expected on the basis of the mechanical properties of bulk glassy polydichlorostyrene. However, deformation into ellipsoids of revolution is consistent with the x‐ray evidence. The deformation of the latices is reasonable.Keywords
