The phase specific localization of the reinforcing fillers like carbon black (CB), which has been known to influence the physical and mechanical performance of the rubber blends, can be determined by different characterization techniques, however, only for binary rubber blends. They have been failed so far when applied for more complicated systems like filled ternary rubber blends. In the present...
The aim of this work was to study the effect of the ionic liquids (ILs) with respect to their anion type and the length of alkyl chain as dispersing and coupling agent in carbon nanotube (CNT) filled styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)/natural rubber (NR) blends. We characterized the ILs by their surface tensions whereupon their different values explain the different compatibilities of ILs with the rubber...
The formation and stability of carbon nanotube (CNT) network in natural rubber (NR), deproteinized NR (DPNR) and polyisoprene (IR) compound were investigated by means of the method of the online measured electrical conductance in a whole process from processing and rolling over pressing/cross-linking to post-stretching. The kinetics of CNT flocculation was described and explained by taking into consideration...
The aim of the present work is to evidence the role of the linked phospholipids of natural rubber (NR) in the rubber-carbon nanotube (CNT) interactions in rubber composites. Three rubbers namely NR, deproteinized NR (DPNR) and a synthetic rubber isoprene (IR) were used as matrix for CNTs. The selective wetting of CNTs in miscible NR/IR and DPNR/IR blends was investigated by means of the modified wetting...
In the present work, the development of morphology and selective wetting of nanoclay and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in rubber nanocomposites were characterized qualitatively by means of the optical microscopy, TEM and AFM and quantitatively by means of the wetting concept. Carboxylated hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (XHNBR), ionic liquid and ethanol were used as dispersing agent and they show...
The outstanding properties of carbon nanotubes have generated scientific and technical interests in the development of nanotube-reinforced polymer composites. Therefore, we investigated a novel mixing approach for achieving a good dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a rubber blend. In this approach the CNTs were incorporated into a 50:50 blend of solution-styrene–butadiene rubber...
The structural ordering in as-spun and rubbed (then annealed) thin films of poly[(3-hexylmethoxy)thiophene] has been investigated by means of grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and the results have been compared with the structural data as obtained from XRD on powder samples. In the structure of the as-spun films the thiophene rings in the backbone lie parallel to the plane of the interface...
