Synergistic Effect of Maleated Natural Rubber and Modified Palm Stearin as Dual Compatibilizers in Composites based on Natural Rubber and Halloysite Nanotubes

Abstract: The performance of rubber composite relies on the compatibility between rubber and filler. This is specifically of concern when preparing composites with very different polarities of the rubber matrix and the filler. However, a suitable compatibilizer can mediate the interactions. In this study, composites of natural rubber (NR) with halloysite nanotubes (HNT) were prepared with maleated natural rubber (MNR) and modified palm stearin (MPS) as dual compatibilizers. The MPS dose ranged within 0.5–1.5 phr, while … Show more

“…By contrast, samples 3 and 4 are characterized by lower initial values of G’, G” and G* that slowly, and only slightly, decrease at the larger strain. Such findings can be explained with the Payne effect, which is a typical response of rubber-based composites loaded with extenders [ 47 , 48 , 49 ]. Additionally, the mechanism responsible for the Payne effect is still controversial and not completely understood.…”

“…In addition, the aggregation phenomena hinder the achievement of a large polymer/nanofiller interfacial area, thus affecting the final properties of the resulting material [ 22 ]. Therefore, in aiming at obtaining a homogeneous dispersion of nanofillers, different strategies have been pursued, including the modification of the surface of nanofillers with functional groups that are able to enhance their compatibility with the biopolymeric matrices [ 23 , 24 , 25 ] and the use of different kinds of plasticizers and/or compatibilizing systems [ 13 , 16 , 26 , 27 ].…”

“…These cover using silane coupling agents, optimizing the preparation methods, and modifying the chemical structure of rubber matrix. The last approach might be of great practical relevance to ensure the compatibility at any location along the polymer molecular chain [ 9 , 10 ]. In this work, an Epoxidized Natural Rubber (ENR) was introduced for preparing the composite to assure filler–matrix compatibility.…”
