Effect of Sepiolite Nanofibers on Properties of EPDM Nanocomposites

Abstract:

In order to use sepiolite nanofibers as rubber fillers, the hydrophilic character of sepiolite nanofibers should be modified by grafting organic group and controlling surface energy and proportion of dispersive interaction for improving compatibility of sepiolite nanofibers in rubber matrix. The surface energies of sepiolite nanofibers were measured by several liquids which were different on surface energy and polar interaction and calculated by Wus equation. The results showed that the mechanical properties can be improved after reinforcement by modified sepiolite nanofibers.
