Modification Of Rubbers With Carbon Nanotubes

The effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on the performance characteristics of rubbers based on butadiene-nitrile and silicone rubbers was investigated under various methods of their preliminary treatment and introduction into the composition of rubbers. It is shown that the introduction of 0.5% by weight of carbon nanotubes into elastomers of different chemical structure leads to an increase in their strength and thermal properties.
