An experimental study on one-step and two-step foaming of natural rubber/silica nanocomposites

The curing and cellular structure of natural rubber (NR)/silica composite foams were investigated. The presence of an activator in the rubber formulation significantly lowered the decomposition temperature of the azodicarbonamide foaming agent, which allo...
