Rubber nanocomposites are being studied because of their unique characteristics. Fillers are used in rubbers and elastomers to increase certain qualities for their ultimate uses. Fillers are used to strengthen rubber such as graphene/graphene oxide for the majority of activities. The hardness, modulus, anti-ageing and gas barrier properties of nanofilled-reinforced rubber are greater than pristine rubber. Studies from the literature depicted 150% increment in elastic modulus, 27.6% increment in modulus of rigidity and 35% increment in hardness of nitrile butadiene rubber when reinforced with graphene oxide (GO). Bulk, shear and Young's modulus of vulcanised rubber rises by 19.13%, 21.11% and 26.89% when infused with carbon nanotube. Because of its unique electrical, thermal and mechanical characteristics, rubber nanocomposites loaded with GO are also in high demand in industrial applications. Rubber nanocomposites, different nanofillers like graphene and graphene oxide and their benefits have been discussed. The review also outlines the rubber/GO nanocomposites' production procedures, novel characteristics and possible uses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
