Processing of styrene butadiene rubber–carbon black nanocomposites with gradation of crosslink density: Static and dynamic mechanical characterization

Synergistic reinforcement ofNBRby hybrid filler system including organoclay and nano‐CaCO3

“…Reduction of tan δ can be related to strong interaction in polymer–filler interface. This reduction due to the addition of organoclay has been reported in other reports . Reduction in tan δ can be considered as a measurement for the formation of higher degree of intercalated structure.…”

“…Dynamical‐mechanical analysis has been used to measure the viscoelastic properties of polymers and also evaluation of interaction between polymer and nanofiller . Changes of storage modulus versus temperature for pure NBR and NC300 and NC600 nanocomposites and hybrid nanocomposites (NC310 and NC610) are shown in Figure .…”

On functionally graded Timoshenko nonisothermal nanobeams

“…The volume fraction of the component is then specified to vary by some functional dependence, for example linear [5,29], power law [30,6,3], Flory-Rehner equation [31]. Sometimes, CNT properties are scaled in order to better match experimentally noticed behaviour, [5,19,29].…”

Compounding and mixing of polymers

“…Inactive fillers or extenders raise the quantity and lower the prices, while active fillers bring about targeted improvements in certain mechanical or physical properties. The activity of active fillers may have a variety of causes, such as the formation of a chemical bond (e.g., crosslinking by carbon black in elastomers) or filling of a certain volume and disruption of the conformational position of a polymer matrix, and also the immobilization of adjacent molecule groups and possible orientation of the polymer material [19][20][21][22]. The most commonly used nanofiller is the layered silicates, both naturally occurring and synthetic [23,24].…”
