Rubber (elastomer) based polymer nanocomposites have attracted wide range of attention from industries and other fields due to its exceptionally good mechanical, thermal electrical properties. One the promising candidates this category is CNT filled rubber nanocomposites. This review throws light on historical trajectory development Various fabrication methods, detailed explanation reinforcement mechanism in CNT/rubber relationship between structure properties are reviewed. The next part...

In this paper, the calorimetric response of amorphous phase was examined in hybrid nanocomposites which were prepared thanks to a facile synthetic route, by adding reduced graphene oxide (rGO), Cloisite 30B (C30B), or multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) lignin-filled poly(lactic acid) (PLA). The dispersion both lignin and nanofillers successful, according field-emission scanning-electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis. Lignin alone essentially acted as crystallization retardant for PLA, shared...

Nanocomposites based on chlorobutyl rubber (CIIR) have been made using a variety of nanofillers such as carbon black (CB), nanoclay (NC), graphene oxide (GO), and black/nanoclay hybrid filler systems. The combinations CB/nanoclay are being employed in the research to examine additive impacts final characteristics nanocomposites. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), together with resistivity values mechanical property measurements, used characterise structural composition CIIR-based AFM results...
