Filler–polymer interactions in filled polybutadiene compounds

Effect of Carbon Black Nanofiller on Adhesion Properties of SBS Rubber Surfaces Treated by Low-Pressure Plasma

“…The bound rubber is a volume of the polymer fraction directly adjacent to the interface, having a molecular structure that differs from that in the pure polymer-an interphase layer with a thickness lying in the range of 2−80 nm is formed. The total volume of this fraction depends on the concentration, shape, and size of the filler nanoparticles, and also their primary aggregation and clustering [26][27][28][29].…”

Characterization of pyrolysis products formed from styrene-1,2-unit heterosequence of styrene–butadiene copolymer

“…Grades of SBR are determined by ratios of the four components. Polymer-filler interactions of SBR or butadiene rubber (BR) vary according to the microstructures [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Recovery rate of an SBR composite increases with increasing the 1,2-unit and styrene contents [10,11].…”

DC electrical conductivity of carbon black polymer composites at low temperatures

“…The electrical properties of an insulating polymer can be altered by adding different conducting particles [15][16][17], and can be controlled by properly choosing the components, their shape and their relative concentrations. Generally, the conductivity of a polymer is almost insensitive for lower concentrations of conducting inclusions, but it rises abruptly as the percolation threshold is reached [18][19][20].…”
