Abstract
We have tried to show a variety of EE and PIE results on a number of systems involving fracture of filled and unfilled elastomers and consider some of the parameters that influence this emission. The need for careful studies of the physics and chemistry of these phenomena is obvious. The usefulness of FE as a tool for investigation of failure mechanisms and fracture phenomena in elastomers requires a broad-based attack combining fracture mechanics, materials science, and fundamental fracto-emission studies on well characterized elastomer. Since the field is relatively unexplored, we will conclude by speculating on some potential areas of usefulness of FE, many of which depend critically on further understanding of FE itself.
