Aramid pulp (AP) was introduced into acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR)-based composites in various amounts by two different introduction methods. The predispersion of AP in the NBR increased the tensile strength of the composites with a relatively high AP content.
The carbon black dispersity and rubber molecular weight change during the mixing process were the important factors determining the die swell behavior of the rubber compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
