Morphology Development in Rubber nanocomposites filled with different nanoclay contetnts

This paper considers the development in morphology with processing time for SBR compounds filled with various nano clay concentrations. The results showed that the mixing time has the impressive effect on the observed morphology. Aggregation, intercalation and exfoliation are happen in order with residence time. The effect of compounding time was important at all levels of filler, especially effective at higher concentration of nanoclay. The morphology was improved and for any constant nano clay content. At higher mixing time, 2θ shifted to the lower angle and the peak intensity reduced. In other word, the distance between layers increased which also was in agreement with morphological observations in TEM images
