Abstract

Elastomer nanocomposites consisting of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) latex and layered silicates are prepared by a modified latex shear blending process aided with ball milling. The mode of dispersion of layered silicates in NBR is partially exfoliated and intercalated when the concentration of layered silicates is below 7.5wt%, as evidenced by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction results. The tensile and tear mechanical properties are much higher than that of neat NBR. Specifically, the tensile and tear mechanical properties of the NBR/layered silicates increase by 200 and 60%, respectively. The decomposition temperature of the nanocomposites increases slightly.
