Boonmahitthisud et al., prepared natural rubber/carboxylated styrene butadiene
rubber (NR/XSBR) (80/20) nanocomposites containing different loadings of carbon
nanotube (CNT) (0.1–0.4 phr) by a latex stage compounding method. The dynamic
mechanical properties, in terms of tan δ and E
0 , of the neat 80/20 NR/XSBR blend
and its nanocomposites were evaluated from À80 to 100
C. Figure 21 shows the
influence CNT loadings, on the tan δ and E
0 as a function of temperature for the
nanocomposites [100].
The variation in tan δ with temperature of the neat rubber blend and its
nanocomposites filled with CNT revealed two tan δ peaks at À60 to À43.4
C
and 30 to 50
C, that were assigned to the Tgs of NR and XSBR, respectively
