Adhesive properties of carbon 1D nanostructures in elastomeric composition

Abstract

The paper describes the investigation of the effect of functionalized carbon 1D nanostructures (single- or multiwalled nanotubes, nanofibers with a relatively smooth or highly disordered outer surface) on the level of interfacial interactions in filled vulcanizates. It is found that functionalization of nanoparticles with carbon black is accompanied by formation of hybrid structures in phase of filler that leads to increasing vulcanizate stiffness. Functionalization of nanoparticles by polyfunctional polymers increases the level of interfacial interactions on the vulcanizate-textile cord border without deterioration of the complex of elastic-strength properties.
