In the decade since the first isolation and identification of graphene, the scientific community
is still finding ways to utilize its unique properties. The present review deals with the …

Elastomer composites have established a unique position among technologically important
materials because of their extensive and potential applications. Considerable interest has …

Vulcanised rubber is extensively used in many industrial sectors due to its good physical,
mechanical and dynamic properties, as well as excellent durability, outstanding abrasive …

Dispersion of reduced graphene oxide (RG-O) into natural rubber (NR) was found to
dramatically enhance the mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of NR. However …

Thermally-exfoliated graphite oxide (TEGO) is a graphene-based material that has been
previously shown to disperse effectively into thermoplastic polymers by melt processing. In …

The development of graphene nanosheets and/or their derivatives (GSDs) has sparkled
worldwide overwhelming industrial and academic research interests, due to their unique …

Unfilled rubbers usually show poor mechanical properties. Here, we demonstrate
toughening natural rubber (NR) by designing a compact hybrid filler network composed of …

Uniform dispersion of pristine graphene in polymers has always been a difficulty in the
research and industry. In this paper, a simple but effective method was used to uniformly …

We investigated the reinforcement behavior of small amounts of chemically unmodified
cellulose nanofiber (CNF) in eco-friendly natural rubber (NR) nanocomposites. For this …

The energy loss of tires during service is closely related to the hysteresis of tire tread, which
is governed by the dispersion and interface of the elastomer nanocomposites. However …
