The application experiments in butadiene rubber (BR), ethylene-propylene diene methylene (EPDM), and natural rubber (NR) indicates that this nano-kaolin powder material is much better than precipitated silica in reinforcement, while in styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) it is close to precipitated silica. Nanokaolin is of superiority in elasticity, elongation at break, anti-flexure property.展开更多

With this process high polymer: surfactant weight ratios (40:1 or greater),relatively concentrated (~30wt. %) latexes and small (~60nm) particle diameters were obtained.Properties of the latexes were characterized by TEM, DSC, dynamic light scattering, and IR spectroscopy.展开更多
