“…Long-chain lightweight polymers offer opportunities for various applications by improving impact strength and stiffness [1][2][3][4][5]. Polymer matrix composites, made from rigid fillers, offer soft, flexible polymer matrices with high toughness due to their easy composition and structural components [6,7]. A composite material is classed as a nanocomposite when one or more dimensions of the added fillers are <100 nm [8].…”

Nanocomposites based on chlorobutyl rubber (CIIR) have been made using a variety of nanofillers such as carbon black (CB), nanoclay (NC), graphene oxide (GO), and carbon black/nanoclay hybrid filler systems. The hybrid combinations of CB/nanoclay are being employed in the research to examine the additive impacts on the final characteristics of nanocomposites. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), together with resistivity values and mechanical property measurements, have been used to characterise the structural composition of CIIR-based nanocomposites. AFM results indicate that the addition of nanoclay into CIIR increased the surface roughness of the material, which made the material more adhesive. The study found a significant decrease in resistivity in CIIR–nanoclay-based composites and hybrid compositions with nanoclay and CB. The higher resistivity in CB composites, compared to CB/nanoclay, suggests that nanoclay enhances the conductive network of carbon black. However, GO-incorporated composites failed to create conductive networks, which this may have been due to the agglomeration. The study also found that the modulus values at 100%, 200%, and 300% elongation are the highest for clay and CB/clay systems. The findings show that nanocomposites, particularly clay and clay/CB hybrid nanocomposites, may produce polymer nanocomposites with high electrical conductivity. Mechanical properties correlated well with the reinforcement provided by nanoclay. Hybrid nanocomposites with clay/CB had increased mechanical properties because of their enhanced compatibility and higher filler–rubber interaction. Nano-dispersed clay helps prevent fracture growth and enhances mechanical properties even more so than CB.

Nano‐injection molding technology is widely used in producing lightweight and high‐strength composites. In this study, seven polymer‐metal interfacial models with inverted trapezoidal nano‐slots were constructed using the polymers polypropylene sulfide (PPS), polyamide 6 (PA6), and the metal aluminum (Al), where the formula ratio of PPS/PA6 is different. Molecular dynamics simulation was used to analyze the PPS/PA6 motion behavior and interfacial bonding mechanism during the nano‐injection molding process of the PPS/PA6 blend modification. The results indicated that the addition of strongly polarized PA6 to the inert material PPS could effectively enhance the interfacial bond strength of PPS/Al. Because the strong polar amide group in PA6 increased the force between the molecular chain and the metal surface, which led to more anchors forming between the interfaces, the number of anchors at the heterogeneous interfaces increased with the increase of PA6 content. In the interfacial damage simulations, adding PA6 enhanced the interfacial bonding energy, which required greater loading stresses to disengage the anchored molecular chains from the interface.Highlights Strongly polarized amide groups in PA6 enhance the forces. Addition of strongly polar PA6 gets higher interfacial energy and filling ratio. Failure modes: Y‐shear and Z‐tensile.
