Research status of natural rubber organic nanocomposites
The preparation methods of organic bio-nano fillers,mixed nano-fillers and natural rubber(NR)composites,and the research status of various organic nanomaterials and their modifications on the tensile properties,thermal stability and electrical conductivity of NR were reviewed.The good compatibility and interfacial interaction between organic nanofiller and polymer matrix can significantly improve the proper-ties of NR.The functionalized organic nanomaterials can interact better with the NR matrix,and bring bet-ter reinforcing effect to the NR properties.At the same time,the application prospect of NR nanocompos-ites in the future was discussed.The development of multiple functional organic nanofillers and the prepa-ration of NR nanocomposites with diverse properties by using mixed nanofillers are the future research fo-cus in this field.
