Thomas S., Stephen R. (Eds.) Rubber Nanocomposites: Preparation, Properties and Applications

John Wiley & Sons (Asia) Pte Ltd, 2010. – 729 p. – ISBN: 0470823453Rubber Nanocomposites: Preparation, Properties and Applications focuses on the preparation, characterization and properties of natural and synthetic rubber nanocomposites. The book carefully debates the preparation of unmodified and modified nanofillers, various manufacturing techniques of rubber nanocomposites, structure, morphology and properties of nanocomposites. The text reviews the processing; characterization and properties of 0-, 1D and 2D nanofiller reinforced rubber nanocomposites. It examines the polymer/filler interaction, i.e., the compatibility between matrix and filler using unmodified and modified nanofillers. The book also examines the applications of rubber nanocomposites in various engineering fields, which include tyre engineering.Nanocomposites: State of the Art, New Challenges and Opportunities
