Layered double hydroxide/multiwalled carbon nanotube hybrids as reinforcing filler in silicone rubber

The influence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes‐NiCoAl layered double hydroxide hybrids on fire safety performance of poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate) composites

“…For example, CNTs‐LDH hybrids have exhibited efficiency in reinforcing the mechanical properties, thermal stability and flame retardancy of polymeric matrices. Pradhan et al reported that CNTs‐MgAl LDH hybrid could introduce superior thermal stability and swelling behavior into silicone rubber (SR), and the mechanical properties could be enhanced as well . The authors contributed this improvement to the nano‐level dispersion and strong interfacial interaction between the hybrid and SR matrix.…”

Assembly of layered double hydroxide on multi‐walled carbon nanotubes as reinforcing hybrid nanofiller in thermoplastic polyurethane/nitrile butadiene rubber blends

“…However, application of CNTs as well as LDHs as fillers in polymers is limited, as pristine CNTs have a tendency to agglomerate whereas pristine LDHs remain as layered stacks unless they are modified . Recently, three‐dimensional CNT–LDH hybrid nanomaterials have been formulated via hybridizing one‐dimensional nanotubes and two‐dimensional LDH flakes by in situ growth of CNTs on LDHs, co‐precipitation method, hydrothermal method, wet mixing and dry grinding of CNTs and LDHs . These hybrids find potential applications in the fields of hydrogen storage, electro‐catalysis or photodegradation of dyes .…”

“…These hybrids find potential applications in the fields of hydrogen storage, electro‐catalysis or photodegradation of dyes . Furthermore, it has been established that these hybrid materials act as promising fillers in the fabrication of polymer nanocomposites, exhibiting superior performances compared to polymer nanocomposites filled with CNTs alone or LDHs alone …”

“…In the past, multi‐walled CNT (MWCNT)–LDH hybrids were prepared by simple grinding and used as a filler in silicone rubber . Motivated by this, we focused our approach on the assembly of MgAl LDH on the surface of pristine CNTs (PCNTs) using sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) as a linker to form noncovalent bonds between PCNTs and LDH to fabricate MWCNT–LDH hybrid.…”

Dehydration-rehydration induced structural changes in pristine and composite layered double hydroxides

“…Pradhan et al [91] have prepared MWCNT−LDH hybrids by the simple dry grinding of various LDHs (LiAl-LDH, MgAl-LDH and CoAl-LDH) with MWCNT. The obtained MWCNT−LDH hybrids were used to fabricate silicone rubber composites.…”
