“…[12] In other investigations, the electrical conductivity of IL-CNTs/CR composites increased upon accelerated thermal aging, and therefore, the authors concluded that these composites may be useful for applications where conductivity at elevated temperatures is required. [13] The use of ILs as dispersion agents has been reported not only for CNTs in a polar polychloroprene elastomer, but also in other combinations, including: ILCNTs-OH/hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR), [14] IL-carbon black/solution-styrene-butadiene rubber (SSBR), [15] ILCNTs/SSBR, [16] IL-CNTs/SSBR/butadiene rubber (BR), [17] silica/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), [18] silica/SBR, [19] halloysite nanotubes (HNTs)/SBR, [20] IL-HNTs/ SBR, [21] silica/nitrile rubber NBR, [22] and layered double hydroxide (LDH)/carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR). [22] For applications in electrochemical devices, where flexibility, thermal stability and high ionic conductivity are required, polymer electrolytes are frequently based on NBR mixed with an ionic liquid and show greatly enhanced ionic conductivity.…”
