Rubber curing chemistry governing the orientation of layered silicate

A Prediction Model for Rubber Curing Process

A prediction method for rubber curing process has historically received considerable attention in manufacturing process for rubber article with relatively large size. In recent years, there exists increasing demand for simulation driven design which will cut down the cost and time required for product development. In case of the rubber with relatively large dimensions, low thermal conductivity ...

A New Epoxy-Based Layered Silicate Nanocomposite Using a Hyperbranched Polymer: Study of the Curing Reaction and Nanostructure Development

Polymer layered silicate (PLS) nanocomposites have been prepared with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) epoxy resin as the matrix and organically modified montmorillonite (MMT) as the clay nanofiller. Resin-clay mixtures with different clay contents (zero, two, five and 10 wt%) were cured, both isothermally and non-isothermally, using a poly(ethyleneimine) hyperbranched polymer (HBP), the...

Ion Exchange and Application of Layered Silicate

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: A Review

This review aims to present recent advances in the synthesis and structure characterization as well as the properties of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites. The advent of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites has revolutionized research into polymer composite materials. Nanocomposites are organic-inorganic hybrid materials in which at least one dimension of the filler is less than 100 nm...
