With regard to the data of Figs. 15.15 and 15.16 two remarks should be
made. Firstly, the transition from one reinforcement mechanism to another
corresponds to loosely packed matrix glass transition temperature, which is
approximately equal to
T

− 50K [11]. Secondly, the extrapolation of Fig.

to polymer structure dimension
