Barrier Properties of Layered-Silicate Reinforced Ethylenepropylenediene Monomer/Chloroprene Rubber Nanorubbers

Mechanical and Gas Barrier Properties of Polypropylene Layered Silicate Nanocomposites: A Review

Polypropylene owing to its apolar nature suffers from compatibility problems with clay, which is partially polar even after the surface modification with alkyl ammonium ions. To circumvent this limitation, polypropylene nanocomposites have been synthesized by using two methodologies: a) partial polarization of the matrix by the addition of low molecular weight compatibilizer which owing to its ...

Study on the Optical and Rheological properties of polymer- layered Silicate Nanocomposites

This review reports recent advances in the field of polymer–layered silicate nano composites. Thesematerials have attracted both academic and industrial attention because they exhibit dramaticimprovement in properties at very low filler contents. Herein, the structure, preparation andproperties of polymer–layered silicate nanocomposites are discussed in general, and finally the effectof clay na...

Polymer-Layered Silicate Nanocomposites: Synthesis, Properties and Applications

Polymer nanocomposites, especially polymerlayered silicate (PLS) nanocomposites, represent a radical alternative to conventionally (macroscopically) filled polymers. Because of their nanometer-size dispersion, the nanocomposites exhibit markedly improved properties when compared with the pure polymers or conventional composites. These include increased modulus and strength, decreased gas permea...

studies on properties of short fiber reinforced natural rubber composites

natural rubber/fiber composites were prepared in a laboratory mixer using new and waste short nylon fiber by a one-step mixing process. fiber loading and bonding agent effects on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites were studied. the cure characteristics of composites were investigated by using rheometer. cure and scorching times of the composites decreased while maxim...
