Subjected to multiaxial mechanical loading and hostile environment, rubber experiences
degradation over a period of time. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to prevent failure of …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted growing interest as a filler in rubber
nanocomposites due to their mechanical and electrical properties. In this study, the …

The influence of equivalent replacement of silica (SiO 2) by carbon nanotubes (CNT) or
graphene oxide (GO) on the microstructure, mechanical and fatigue behaviors of SiO …

The aim of the present work is to evidence the role of the linked phospholipids of natural
rubber (NR) in the rubber-carbon nanotube (CNT) interactions in rubber composites. Three …

This chapter introduces the mechanical properties of rubber nanocomposites containing
carbon nanofillers and their Payne and Mullins effects. It starts by presenting different …

Adding silica nanofiller in silicone rubber can toughen the matrix 3 orders in terms of fracture
energy, which is far larger than most other nanofiller–rubber systems. To unveil the …

In this study, organo-montmorillonite (OMt) was treated with long alkyl chain containing
docosanoic acid in order to obtain expanded organo-montmorillonite (EOMt) with increased …

Epoxy composites reinforced with three different shapes of Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles were
synthesized by instant cross-linking process. Out of three types of Al 2 O 3 particles, two …

The aim of this work was to study the effect of the ionic liquids (ILs) with respect to their anion
type and the length of alkyl chain as dispersing and coupling agent in carbon nanotube …

This paper deals with the fatigue life analysis of a blend of natural rubber (NR) and styrene‐
butadiene rubber (SBR) with and without nanoclay particles. Various damage parameters …
