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

The use of octadecylamine modified montmorillonite as substitute of carbon black in natural
rubber (NR) compounds is studied. Rubber with 10 parts per hundred resin (phr) of pristine …

Natural rubber (NR) based nanocomposites with 10wt% natural and synthetic layered
silicates were produced via the latex compounding method. As layered silicates, sodium …

Nanocomposites containing natural rubber (NR) as matrix, epoxidized natural rubber (ENR)
as compatibilizer and organophilic layered clay (organoclay) as filler were produced in an …

The effect of the incorporation of a bentonite on the vulcanization kinetics of natural rubber
was investigated by means of both cure‐meter testing and differential scanning calorimetry …

Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR)-layered silicate composites were produced by melt
compounding and sulfur curing. Pristine (sodium bentonite and sodium fluorohectorite) and …

In order to analyze the effect of an epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) and filler treatment on
the morphology and behavior of natural rubber (NR) nanocomposites, blends of these …

Conditions were established for dispersing organic montmorillonite (OMMT) nanolayers into
ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDM) matrix in a HAAKE mixer. The experimental …

Nanocomposites were prepared with different grades of nitrile rubber with acrylonitrile
contents of 19, 34, and 50%, with styrene–butadiene rubber (23% styrene content), and with …
