Novel reactive elastomer-metal oxide composite : effect of filler size and content on swelling and reinforcement
A novel elastomer-metal oxide composite that swells and stiffens upon hydration will be presented. Conventional water-swellable elastomers filled with hydrogels absorb water and swell upon hydration but their modulus decreases as a result of fluid water diluting the rubber matrix. Reduced stiffness...
