Abstract
In this research, a novel investigation explored the enhancement of nanocomposites by blending styrene-butadiene rubber/acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (SBR/NBR) with both unmodified and [3-(2,3-Epoxypropoxy)-propyl]-trimethoxysilane-modified halloysite nanotubes (pHNTs and mHNTs). The study aimed to improve interfacial interactions and refine the SBR/NBR phase microstructure, leading to superior mechanical properties. Using a two-roll mill, mHNTs were incorporated at varying levels (0–10 phr). Results demonstrated reduced curing times (optimum cure time—t90, scorch time—ts2), increased maximum torque (MH), and substantial enhancements in tensile strength (up to 182%) and abrasion resistance (optimized at 6 phr mHNTs). Additionally, swelling resistance improved with higher mHNTs content, highlighting effective dispersion and interactions of HNTs within the SBR/NBR matrix.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Polymer Research provides a forum for the prompt publication of articles concerning the fundamental and applied research of polymers. Its great feature lies in the diversity of content which it encompasses, drawing together results from all aspects of polymer science and technology.
As polymer research is rapidly growing around the globe, the aim of this journal is to establish itself as a significant information tool not only for the international polymer researchers in academia but also for those working in industry. The scope of the journal covers a wide range of the highly interdisciplinary field of polymer science and technology, including:
polymer synthesis;
polymer reactions;
polymerization kinetics;
polymer physics;
morphology;
structure-property relationships;
polymer analysis and characterization;
physical and mechanical properties;
electrical and optical properties;
polymer processing and rheology;
application of polymers;
supramolecular science of polymers;
polymer composites.
