Abstract
Summary: The flex‐fatigue life of carbon‐black‐filled SBR was dramatically improved by incorporation of 4–5 phr nanodispersed clay. Addition of clay did not decrease the degree of crosslinking of the composite but improved the hysteresis and tearing energy. ESEM observation of the flexing‐fracture morphology indicated that nanodispersed clay layers had the advantage over carbon black in that they could blunt the crack.
