## Abstract **Summary:** Three rubber‐based nanocomposites, natural rubber (NR), styrene‐butadiene rubber (SBR), and ethylene‐propylene‐diene rubber (EPDM) matrixes, were prepared with octadecylamine modified fluorohectorite (OC) by melt blending. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that the SBR/OC an
