Abstract:Rubber/nanocellulose composite sheets improve tensile properties compared with neat rubber sheets, when nanocellulose materials are suitably compounded with rubber matrices. First, two oven‐dried nanocellulose materials containing different additive components were prepared from nanocellulose/water dispersions, and the oven‐dried nanocellulose‐containing materials were compounded with rubber sheets under high shear forces by using a two‐roll mill. The tensile moduli and strength of the rubber/nanocellulose com… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
