Title Multiwalled carbon nanotubes/ hectorite hybrid reinforced styrene butadiene rubber nanocomposite: Preparation and properties
Date 13.08.2018
Number 54826
Abstract Clay-assisted dispersion of MWCNT has emerged as a novel alternative to its conventional modification. The report deals with preparation of MWCNT/hectorite hybrid (HMH) by dry grinding method and its utilization for the reinforcement of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR). Significant improvement in tensile strength (210%) and elongation at break (42%) of SBR/HMH nanocomposite at 0.7 wt.% HMH shows its superior reinforcing efficiency. Comparison with individual fillers confirms significant synergy. Best thermal stability and dielectric response are achieved at 0.3 and 0.7 wt.% filler contents respectively. Improved properties of the nanocomposites are ascribed to enhanced level of filler dispersion and polymer-filler interaction.
