Synergistic in Properties of Rubber Nanocomposites Using Hybrid Filler System

Improving the performance of polymer products has always been considered by the researchers and manufacturers. By introducing nanotechnology to the polymer science, improving the properties and performance of polymer products such as plastics, rubbers and other types of polymeric products was intensified. In this regard, the use of nanoparticles for enhancing the mechanical performance of the rubbers has received more attention. But despite of many researches in the field of single filled polymer nanocomposites in the recent years, hybrid nanocomposites consists of several fillers are being investigated and not yet useable in the process. In this paper examines the performance of hybrid filler systems consist of nanoclay, carbon black, calcium carbonate, silica, carbon nanotube in rubber nanocomposites like NR, ENR, SBR, PU, BIIR, EPDM and NBR are discussed and a comparison between single-filler and hybrid filler nanocomposites was carried out. In this regard, greater focus on the morphology and mechanical properties and dynamic - mechanical properties of rubber nanocomposites were studied. For this purpose, the research conducted in the field of rubber nanocomposites in recent years which published by several researchers, their results are presented along with the scientific analysis and the favorable effect of these hybrid fillers on the performance of rubber products clearly displayed.
