Nature of Carbon Black Reinforcement of Rubber: Perspective on the Original Polymer Nanocomposite

Adding carbon black (CB) particles to elastomeric polymers is essential to the successful industrial use of rubber in many applications, and the mechanical reinforcing effect of CB in rubber has been studied for nearly 100 years. Despite these many decades of investigations, the origin of stiffness...
