Abstract

Abstract Elastomeric nano-particles (ENPs) have been used widely and nano-scale effects have been found when used in polymer modification. For example, ENPs could increase toughness and heat resistance of plastics simultaneously when blending ENPs with plastics. Anomalies have also been found when ENPs were used in rubber modification, thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) preparation and assisting dispersion of other nano-particles and ultra-fine additives in polymer matrix. The preparation, nano-scale effect and applications of the ENPs will be reviewed in this feature article.
