Studies on order of mixing dual filler based natural Rubber/Nanoclay/Nano Calcium Carbonate nanocomposite

摘要

@@INTRODUCTION Rubber nanocomposites containing one type of nanofiller are common, and are widely established in the research field, but a few researches have been reported about using two types of nanofiler in elastomeric compounds [1,2]. In this study, NR (RSS-1) based ternary nanocomposites containing both calcium carbonate and organomodified nanoclay has been characterized on the basis of morphology, structure and mechanical behavior. The possible interactions between calcium carbonate particle, organoclay and the rubber matrix have been investigated.
