“…Kaolin role as a filler can be abbreviated in producing a smooth surface finish, reducing cracking and shrinkage during curing, improving thermal stability, contributing to high impact strength and improving resistance to chemical action and weathering. It also helps controlling the flow properties, and can be used as a rheological modifier, in addition to its role as a functional filler to improve mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties . Kaolinite is the major mineral component of kaolin, which may usually, contains quartz and mica.…”

Kaolin is a naturally abundant and cheap ore, which can impart various properties to rubber composites besides lowering its cost. In this work, kaolin and thermally treated kaolin (especially m‐kaolinite), which is the most active species of kaolin were added to styrene–butadiene rubber composites in different concentrations ranging between 10 and 50 phr to study their effect on SBR rheometric, physical, mechanical, and thermal properties. The main aim of this study was to state whether the activity of calcined kaolin will allow it to work as a bifunctional additive (i.e., reinforcing filler and accelerator) or an adverse one (i.e., working as an active radical breaking the polymer chains). The study revealed that SBR containing calcined kaolin performed better properties than those containing kaolin indicating that calcined kaolin worked as a bifunctional additive in SBR composites.

“…Two factors contributed to the resistance to abrasion in this case. While clay particles on the surface of the sample appear to protect it from abrasion, exfoliated Mt layers also support abrasion resistance, as may be seen from the low thickness loss of sample C20-5i (Wu and Tian, 2013;Zarei et al, 2013). Globally, a balance between exfoliation and the presence of residual particles is necessary to achieve the best performance in abrasion resistance, such as in samples C20-3 and C10-3.…”

“…There exist very few reports on the use of kaolin as a reinforcing filler for rubbers (González et al, 1989;Wu and Tian, 2013;Liu et al, 2008;Malicka-Soczka et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2010;Preetha Nair and Joseph, 2012). A study by Wu and Tian (2013) on kaolin filled rubber compositions using NR, SBR, polybutadiene rubber (BR), nitrile rubber (NBR), ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM), chloroprene rubber (CR) and methyl vinyl silicone rubber (MVQ) reports good mechanical properties and resistance to heat aging. A similar study had been made by Liu et al (2008) in NR, SBR, BR and EPDM.…”
