Abstract
Maleic-anhydride-grafted natural rubber prepared by gamma radiation was used for preparing natural-rubber-based nanocomposites. Modified clay (up to 7 wt.%) was used for the reinforcement. Maximum improvement in mechanical properties was observed at a filler content of 5 wt.%. The maleic anhydride concentration was varied from 1 to 5% and was found to have a significant effect on the properties of the nanocomposites. The XRD pattern shows that there is a considerable improvement in the d spacing of nanoclay with the incorporation of rubber. Exfoliated layers can be seen from TEM micrographs.
