Abstract

To improve the interfacial interaction in MMT-SBR nanocomposites, one type of UOAC was introduced to in-situ modified MMT before latex compounding with SBR. The influence of the UOAC/MMT ratio on the structure and properties of MMT/SBR nanocomposites were carefully studied by XRD, TEM, and mechanical testing. It was found that through the in-situ organic modification, a rubber-intercalated structure of MMT was obtained in the nano-composites, and the amount of rubber-intercalated structure strongly depended on the UOAC/MMT ratio. The tensile strength of MMT-SBR nanocomposites was enhanced dramatically from 4 to 18 MPa by in-situ organic modification of MMT.
