Polypyrrole (PPy) decorated on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) films is successfully
prepared with pyrrole (Py) monomers and rGO through one-step combining oxidation with …

A green and facile preparation method of graphene oxide/nitrile butadiene rubber (GO/NBR)
nanocomposite film was developed for application in gas barrier. In the process, chemical …

In this work, we evaluated the processing and reinforcement characteristics of both carbon
black (CB) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) within a nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) …

Application of the lignin-based monomer in polymers synthesis will reducing the use of
petrochemical-based monomers, enhance the polymer/copolymers properties, and …

Graphene is widely incorporated into rubber matrices to enhance mechanical, electrical, and
thermal properties in nanocomposites. However, its hydrophobicity and lack of …
