Recently, polymer nanocomposite reinforced with well-dispersed layered silicate, typically
montmorillonite have received much attention in both academic and industrial research due …

Smectite clays (eg montmorillonite), belonging to the structural family called 2: 1
phyllosilicates, are the main choice for designing polymer nanocomposites due to their low …

In the present work, the influence of graphene (GE) on the vulcanization kinetics of natural
rubber (NR) with sulfur curing system was investigated in detail for the first time. It is found …

Reinforcement of natural rubber was achieved using carboxylated multiwalled carbon
nanotubes (c-MWCNT) dispersed with sodium dodecyl sulfate. The structure of the …

In this work, wheat bran was used as cellulosic filler in biocomposites based on natural
rubber. The impact of wheat bran content [ranging from 10 to 50 parts per hundred rubber …

This paper surveys the recent achievements with thermoset rubber/layered silicate
nanocomposites considering their production methods, cure characteristics, structure and …

The one-stop resource for rubber-clay nanocomposite information The first comprehensive,
single-volume book to compile all the most important data on rubber-clay nanocomposites in …

The inclusion of highly anisotropic clay nanoparticles (nanoclays) in cross-linked natural
rubber (NR) provides a more homogeneous distributed network structure and induces an …

Diolefin elastomers are particularly susceptible to thermal oxidative ageing, due to the
instability of double bonds and allylic hydrogens when exposed to heat or oxygen. Here we …

This paper investigates the effect of nanoclay and crosslinking systems on the cure
characteristics, mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, compression set and swelling …
