Effect of two types of layered silicate on mechanical and barrier properties of hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR)/layered silicate nanocomposites
The role of the type of layered silicate platelets, OMMT and rectorite on the mechanical properties, aging resistance and oxygen permeation properties of HNBR/layered silicate nanocomposites was investigated. The effect of peroxide vulcanising agent on the dispersion of layered silicate in the HNBR matrix was also studied. HNBR was mechanically mixed with layered silicate via melt blending method. The results of the test show remarkable improvement in tensile strength, tear strength, aging resistance and oxygen permeation properties of HNBR nanocomposites than that of unfilled HNBR. It is obvious that the OMMT filled nanocomposites have far better properties than that of rectorite filled HNBR.
