Abstract:A novel carbon black (CB) and nanoclay (NC) filled system in Natural rubber (NR) matrix has been developed for steel cord tyre ply compound with optimized performance properties. The effect of partial replacement of CB (N-220) by two different kinds of nanoclay (Cloisite-20A and Cloisite-30B) on the adhesion properties has been extensively investigated. The nanocomposites have shown improved adhesion properties between steel cord and rubber (aged and unaged) i.e. pull out force and rubber coverage (%), for rel… Show more
