Popis: Silica nanoparticles, as a petroleum-free eco-friendly material, are being used in the rubber industry instead of carbon blacks. Silica nanoparticles are found to show nucleating ability for the crystallization of butadiene rubber. Furthermore, they show migration behavior from styrene-butadiene rubber to butadiene rubber by Brownian motion, indicating that the interfacial tension with butadiene rubber is lower than that with styrene-butadiene rubber.
