Abstract
CNT/NR composites were fabricated based on a CNT treatment using an acid bath followed by ball‐milling with HRH bonding systems. Thermal properties, vulcanization characteristics and mechanical properties of the CNT/NR composites were characterized. Compared to CB, the incorporation of CNTs into NR was faster and the energy consumption was less. The over‐curing reversion of CNT/NR composites was alleviated. After acid treatment and ball‐milling, the dispersion of CNTs in the rubber matrix and the interaction between CNTs and the matrix was improved. The performance of the CNT/reinforced NR composites was enhanced by the incorporation of the treated CNTs as compared to neat NR and CB/NR composites.
