What is the significance of clay in the NBR/clay/copper sulfate pentahydrate (CSP) nanocomposites?

Label:chem

Topic
Clay is used as a nanofiller in rubber composites due to its high aspect ratio, low cost, and independence from fossil fuels. In this study, clay is incorporated into NBR to enhance the mechanical properties of the composite.
Answer
The clay layers in the NBR/clay/CSP nanocomposites play a crucial role in reinforcing the rubber matrix. The study shows that the presence of clay improves the dispersion and interaction with the rubber, leading to better mechanical properties. Higher clay content results in more effective reinforcement, as demonstrated by the higher tensile strength of the NBR/clay10/CSP20 nanocomposite compared to the NBR/clay5/CSP20 nanocomposite.
