Abstract
Abstract Nanocomposites of organophilic montmorillonite (C18‐MMT), nitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR), and a coupling agent were produced during a melt compounding process at room temperature. During the process, it was clearly observed that organo‐MMT particles were exfoliated into nanoscale layers of approximately 1–30 nm thickness, in addition to their original 40 μm thickness. These MMT layers were uniformly dispersed in the NBR matrix. The effects of a coupling agent such as 3‐(mercaptopropyl)trimethoxy silane in C18‐MMT/NBR nanocomposites were studied. The C18‐MMT/NBR nanocomposites in the presence of the coupling agent were identified and characterized by X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, a universal testing machine, thermogravimetric analysis, and IR spectroscopy. It was observed that an additional silane coupling agent, 3‐(mercaptopropyl)trimethoxy silane, enhanced the chemical interaction and was accompanied by the formation of SiOSi coupling bonds between C18‐MMT and the coupling agent and SiC coupling bonds between NBR and the coupling agent. This work resulted in improved properties of organo‐MMT/NBR nanocomposites because of the nanoscale effects and strong interaction of the coupling bonds between NBR and organo‐MMT. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
