Rubber-Clay Nanocomposites (ePub)

The one-stop resource for rubber-clay nanocomposite
information

The first comprehensive, single-volume book to compile all the
most important data on rubber-clay nanocomposites in one place,
Rubber-Clay Nanocomposites: Science, Technology, and
Applications reviews rubber-clay nanocomposites in an
easy-to-reference format designed for R&D professionals.

Including contributions from experts from North America, Europe,
and Asia, the book explores the properties of compounds with
rubber-clay nanocomposites, including their rheology, curing
kinetics, mechanical properties, and many others.

Rubber-clay nanocomposites are of growing interest to the
scientific and technological community, and have been shown to
improve rubber compound reinforcement and impermeability. These
natural mineral fillers are of potential interest for large-scale
applications and are already making an impact in several major
fields. Packed with valuable information about the synthesis,
processing, and mechanics of these reinforced rubbers, the book
covers assorted rubber-clay nanocomposites applications, such as in
automotive tires and as polymer fillers.

Promoting common knowledge and interpretation of the most
important aspects of rubber-clay nanocomposites, and clarifying the
main results achieved in the field of rubbers and crosslinked
rubbers--something not covered in other books in the
field--Rubber-Clay Nanocomposites helps scientists
understand morphology, vulcanization, permeability, processing
methods, and characterization factors quickly and easily.
