Abstract | Definition: A rubber nanocomposite is a cross-linked elastomeric polymer with dispersed nanoparticles inside the rubber matrix. The nanoparticles contribute reinforcement and offer some functional features to the pristine rubber.<br /><br />Reinforcement of rubber by solid filler particles is a major concern in rubber technology as the final performance of a rubber product largely depends on the ingredients used for rubber compounding. A cross-linked/vulcanized rubber without any reinforcement agent inside the matrix may not be a promising elastomer product to be used in practical application. After incorporation of some foreign solid particles, the mechanical properties and other properties of the composites are remarkably improved.<br /><br />Encyclopedia of Polymeric Nanomaterials<br />ISBN 978-3642296475 |
