Abstract
Carbon nanotubes are an intriguing reinforcement for polymers besause of their unique mechanical propeties and extremely large surface area per unit volume. These MWCNTs are added in order to get a substantial improvement in the physical and mechanical propeties of the rubber compound. In these present studies, MWCNTs are added as a filler in natural rubber matrix. The effect of single and hybrid MWCNTs loading on cure characteristics, tansile proprties, fatigue life, morphology, thermal gravimatic analysis and rubber-filler interaction of NR/MWCNT nanocomposites were investigated.
