Study on Boundary Layer and Surface Hardness of Carbon Black in Natural Rubber Using Atomic Force Microscopy

The mechanical properties and wear resistance of carbon black/natural rubber (CB/NR) composites are significantly influenced by the degree of CB dispersion in rubber. Here, we present a novel reinforcement theory using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to quantify the adhesive thickness of rubber molecu...
