Abstract
Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) with various loadings (1, 3, 5, and 7) phr of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) have been developed to explore the properties of these nanocomposites. Mechanical properties of the prepared nanocomposites have shown a significant increment in tensile properties. The maximum enhancement was observed at 3 phr content of HNTs in the SBR matrix nearly 67% enhancements in tensile, 50% elongation at break, and ~12% in hardness as compared to pure SBR. The Thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis result shows that there is an increase in the temperature of 8 °C in thermal stability at 3 phr of HNTs in the rubber matrix.
