NBR/SBR Blends Compatibilized with amphiphilic Montmorillonites: Pyrolytic Degradation of their Disposals as cheap Carbon Rich Sources for Fabrication of Carbon Nanotubes Via Chemical Vapor Deposition

摘要

Pyrolysis of rubber waste bearing a range of different compositions was accomplished under catalytic conditions in a horizontal pyrolyzer and estimated to be promising from the economic point of view and convincingly effective to obtain carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in a reasonable yield. The rubber formulations are comprising NBR compatibilized with SBR with the aid of amphiphobic organic-inorganic hybrids based on Na-montmorillonite and a surface active modifier, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), permanently linked to the montmorillonite. It was found, that there is a close relation between the perfection of the resulting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as well as the yield and the conditions under which the immiscible rubber components were originally compatibilized.
