Natural Rubber/ Organoclay Nanocomposite from Tea (<i>Camellia </i><i>S</i><i>inensis</i>) Seed Oil Derivative

Thermal Behavior and UV Properties of Organomodified Kaolin Oleochemically Derived from Rubber Seed Oils (&lt;i&gt;Hevea brasiliensis&lt;/i&gt;) and Tea Seed Oils (&lt;i&gt;Camellia sinensis&lt;/i&gt;)

“…Several reports have been made on the suitability of oleochemical sources of rubber seed oil and tea seed oil to be used as precursors for organic modification of kaolin and the following characterization studies: Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) performed on the modified kaolin [13][14][15][16].…”

Non-linear Viscoelastic Behaviour of Rubber-Rubber Blend Composites and Nanocomposites: Effect of Spherical, Layered and Tubular Fillers

“…Sternstein et al [2] have found experimentally that the mechanism for reinforcement in nanocomposites can be attributed to filler matrix interactions, rather than filler agglomeration or percolation. It was reported that, in natural rubber (NR)/spherical filler nanocomposites [3] and NR/layered filler nanocomposites [4], there exists a strong interfacial interaction between the rubber matrix and the nanofiller. In NR/tubular filler nanocomposites [5], the strong interfacial bonding between the fillers and the rubber molecules were observed, and therefore, the tubular fillers can transfer stress effectively throughout the rubber matrix and play an important role in the reinforcement in NR nanocomposites.…”

The Effect of Surface Modification on the Properties of Palygorskite Filled Natural Rubber Nanocomposite

“…These two factors were actually responsible not only for the improvement in elongation at break but also in tensile strength and modulus . Yahya et al (2010) have reported that the high reinforcement effect was due to strong ionic interaction between polymer and silicate layers of PAL which have generated some crystallinity at the interface …”
