Additional information

This investigation was part of an extensive research programme (funded by DSTL, EPSRC, TARRC, Cabot, Sibelco, Bridgestone & ARTIS) looking into filler structure changes with strain in elastomer systems. This part of the project was sponsored by Sibelco an international minerals company, to develop a method of identifying the onset of dewetting at the silica rubber interface, measured indirectly by changes in UV light transmission. This enabled the effectiveness of coupling agents used at the interface to be assessed indirectly. The work led to further industrial funding from Sibelco and a CASE studentship with them in 2010 (£89k).
