Abstract EN
Natural rubber (NR) nanocomposites were prepared in a double-roller plasticator mixer with purified attapulgite (PAT) or modified attapulgite, which was treated at 450°C (PAT-450) and 850°C (PAT-850) for two hours.
The structures of the pristine, purified, and modified attapulgite were characterized by FTIR, TEM, XRD, and BET.
The results indicated that the structure of attapulgite changed with the increased temperature.
The effects of the PAT treatment and content on the mechanical properties of the NR nanocomposites were also investigated.
The results showed that AT increased curing process of natural rubber.
A significant improvement in the tensile strength, wearability, and solvent resistance of the nanocomposites was observed with the addition of different types of attapulgite as compared to those of pure NR.
Scanning electron microscope images showed that the filler was located at the interface, which induced compatibilization in the immiscible blends.
Thermogravimetric analysis revealed a significant improvement in the thermal stability of the NR/PAT nanocomposites.
