description | The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of the partial replacement of carbon black (CB) by nanodiamonds (NDs) on the vulcanization, mechanical and dynamic properties of a natural rubber—butadiene rubber compound, a typical elastomer compound found in several applications (the tire and mining industry, for example). A studied hybrid filler system resulted in a 28% increase in tensile strength and 29% increase in 300% modulus at low ND loadings even though the total weight fraction of the filler system was kept constant at 25 parts per hundred rubber. The hybrid filler system improved dispersion of both fillers as was proven by scanning electron microscopy and the Payne effect study. In addition, the replacement of 2.5 and 5 phr CB by NDs resulted in 62% improvement in wear resistance. The DMA study showed that a certain ND-CB filler combination has a positive effect on tire properties such as wet grip and rolling resistance. |
