This paper presents studies on the development of nanocomposites based on rubber and layered nanoclay such as organically modified montmorillonite. The effect of
introducing nanoclay in a mixture based on ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymers filled
with precipitated silica was analzyed in comparison with a mixture based on natural
rubber filled with an organic filler, starch. Mixtures contain 0, 3 and 6 parts nanoclay
respectively to 100 rubber parts. Mixtures were obtained in a Brabender mixer. Curing
agents: di(tert-butylperoxyisopropyl)benzene and curing co-agent, trimethylol-propane
trimethacrylate, were embedded on a laboratory roller. Rubber specimens were obtained
by compression, using a hydraulic press at 165?C and a pressing force of 300 kN. For
both types of mixtures, there is a significant decrease of optimal type of curing with the
introduction of nanofiller into the mixtures. There is significant improvement of tensile
strength and elongation at break in mixtures based on natural rubber as a result of
introducing montmorillonite. In contrast, for mixtures based on ethylene-propylen-ediene terpolymers, by introducing nanoclay, hardness, elasticity and 100% elongation
modulus are improved.
