Abstract
This code uses the Owens-Wendt theory to calculate surface energies of polymers and fillers from contact angle measurements and predict phase separation and nanofiller localization based on interfacial tensions.
This code predicts the morphology of a 2-phase polymer blend and the localization of a nano-particulate using the geometric mean equation, and contact angles of each polymer.
