Abstract

Summary: To improve the interfacial interaction in MMT‐SBR nanocomposites, one type of UOAC was introduced to in‐situ modified MMT before latex compounding with SBR. The influence of the UOAC/MMT ratio on the structure and properties of MMT/SBR nanocomposites were carefully studied by XRD, TEM, and mechanical testing. It was found that through the in‐situ organic modification, a rubber‐intercalated structure of MMT was obtained in the nanocomposites, and the amount of rubber‐intercalated structure strongly depended on the UOAC/MMT ratio. The tensile strength of MMT‐SBR nanocomposites was enhanced dramatically from 4 to 18 MPa by in‐situ organic modification of MMT.
