Subjected to multiaxial mechanical loading and hostile environment, rubber experiences
degradation over a period of time. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to prevent failure of …

Elastomeric materials are often used as components that undergo cyclic loading during
application, such as tires, seals, and hoses. For this reason, the long-term performance, or …

A simple and facile method for depositing multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) onto the
surface of naturally occurring short jute fibers (JFs) is reported. Hierarchical multi-scale …

The filler dispersion and network in rubber composites are critical factors in determining the
properties of the composites. In this study, we incorporate a graphene-like layered material …

Exfoliated graphene oxide (GO) reinforced natural rubber (NR) composites were prepared
by a simple and promising latex co-coagulation method. Latex co-coagulation realized the …

The influence of equivalent replacement of silica (SiO 2) by carbon nanotubes (CNT) or
graphene oxide (GO) on the microstructure, mechanical and fatigue behaviors of SiO …

Temperature is one of the main parameters affecting the mechanical behavior of rubbers.
The impact of this parameter is particularly important in the case of cyclic loads. In this study …

This chapter introduces the mechanical properties of rubber nanocomposites containing
carbon nanofillers and their Payne and Mullins effects. It starts by presenting different …

Adding silica nanofiller in silicone rubber can toughen the matrix 3 orders in terms of fracture
energy, which is far larger than most other nanofiller–rubber systems. To unveil the …

The quasi‐static fracture and dynamic fatigue behaviors of natural rubber composites
reinforced with hybrid carbon nanotube bundles (CNTBs) and carbon black (CB) at similar …
