“…The increased crosslinking network can contribute to the enhanced mechanical and thermal performance of the final nanocomposite. This can also be verified from measurements of the torque/time curves during the curing or processing of the graphene/elastomer nanocomposites [130,134,138,141,146,148,152,172]. The curing curves are normally shifted towards a shorter time with increased filler loading, which indicates an acceleration of the vulcanization phenomenon, while the maximum torque values of the curing curves may be increased by the presence of graphene.…”

In the decade since the first isolation and identification of graphene, the scientific community is still finding ways to utilize its unique properties. The present review deals with the preparation and physicochemical characterization of graphene-based elastomeric nanocomposites. The processing and characterization of graphene and graphene oxide are described in detail, since the presence of such fillers in an elastomeric matrix affects dramatically the properties of the nanocomposite samples. Several preparation routes for the efficient dispersion of graphene in elastomers are then discussed, while aspects such as the interfacial bonding between the filler and the matrix or interactions between the fillers have been thoroughly analysed. Different types of graphene/elastomer nanocomposites are described in terms of their manufacture and properties and it has been shown that depending on the type of graphene employed and the preparation methods, the mechanical, thermal, electrical and barrier properties of the elastomeric matrix can be enhanced due to the presence of graphene, even at relatively-low filler loadings. In most cases, the formation of a filler network can play a major role in the improvement of the overall performance of the material.

“…Melt mixing is a preparation technique favoured by industry, since it combines low cost and speed [134,[137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151]. The general principle of this method involves the dispersion of the fillers in the elastomer matrix in the molten state, by applying a shear force.…”

“…That is, GO/rGO and other derivatives graphenes reinforced with various elastomers with different polarities have shown different curing with varied physicomechanical properties (Allahbakhsh et al 2013;Mensah, et al 2014;Mensah et al 2015;Varghese et al 2013). The influence of the corrugating/wrinkling structural texture of the graphene sheet on rubber matrix has shown different findings on resulting properties of the composites by different researchers.…”

“…[36,37] Many researchers have studied the fractured surfaces of different rubber nanocomposites and reported that an increase in surface roughness is because of an increase of the stiffness. [38,39] Figure 2c and d shows that agglomerates were present on the surface of CIIR/M-MLG. The two-roll mill process did not guarantee a homogenous MLG dispersion.…”

Multilayer graphene (MLG) is composed of approximately 10 sheets of graphene. It is a promising nanofiller just starting to become commercially available. The dispersion of the nanofiller is essential to exploit the properties of the nanocomposites and is dependent on the preparation method. In this study, direct incorporation of 3 parts per hundred of rubber (phr) MLG into chlorine-isobutene-isoprene rubber (CIIR) on a two-roll mill did not result in substantial enhancement of the material properties. In contrast, by pre-mixing the MLG (3 phr) with CIIR using an ultrasonically assisted solution mixing procedure followed by two-roll milling, the properties (rheological, curing, and mechanical) were improved substantially compared with the MLG/CIIR nanocomposites mixed only on the mill. The Young's moduli of the nanocomposites mixed in solution increased by 38%. The CIIR/MLG nanocomposites produced via solution showed superior durability against weathering exposure.
