Abstract: A method for isolating ionomers of an ionomer blend includes chemically modifying the ionomers of the ionomer blend by esterifying the carboxylic acid groups and then separating the chemically modified ionomers. The ionomers may be separated by taking advantage of the different solubilities of ionomers of different acid compositions and precipitating at least one of the ionomers from the ionomer blend. The method is particularly useful in determining the acid content of the ionomers in a golf ball layer comprising an ionomer blend.

Abstract: Composite materials having desirable properties due at least in part to controlled filler distribution within the composite and methods for preparing the composite materials are disclosed. In one embodiment, the composite material is derived from a blend of two or more substantially immiscible polymers, a solvent component, and at least one filler. The composite materials can be obtained in one embodiment by adding the polymers and filler to the solvent component, mixing the solutions for a period of time, and plating the solution to remove the solvent component and produce the composite material. The solvent component is chosen depending on the properties desired in the composite material and can have greater affinity for a first polymer or a second polymer, or substantially the same affinity for both polymers.
