Abstract
Nanosheets of graphene oxide (GO) were incorporated into natural rubber (NR) to investigate the influence of the partial substitution for carbon black (CB) with GO on the crosslink structure and properties of NR composites. The results show that the dispersion of the fillers was improved by a few GO nanosheets instead of CB. The dynamic and static mechanical properties were improved by using a few GO nanosheets worth of substitution content. The NR/CB/GO (NG) composites show the lowest heat buildup value when the load of nanosheets is 1 phr, which corresponds to only 9°C. However, the comprehensive performance of the composites was poor, or even deteriorated, as the GO tended to aggregate due to the high concentrations.
