| Abstract | ||||
| Over the past few decades, filler techniques for elastomers have been the subject of in depth research. Numerous tests have been conducted over this time to determine how an elastomer is reinforced when fillers are added. Enhanced strength, modulus, abrasion resistance, and dynamic mechanical properties are among the characteristics of these reinforced materials. Separating the contributing impacts and describing how they operate have both been done using a variety of approaches. Most of these procedures examine the interactions between the fillers and rubbers in terms of their properties and structures. These processes have developed into three main areas: interactions between elastomers and fillers, filler structure, and hydrodynamic reinforcement. Fillers with an average particle size between 1 and 100 nanometers are referred to as nanofillers. Nanofillers are performance enhancers, as opposed to conventional non-active fillers, which are primarily employed to cut costs. To enhance the physical and other features, they can be employed in small quantities (5–10%). In the polymer matrix, nanoparticles (40 nm in diameter) can create an extremely fine, uniformly distributed network. Carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, graphite platelets, and other fillers under investigation, including synthetic clays and natural fibers, are good valuable nanofillers. Although carbon nanotubes are more expensive than frequently available nanoclay fillers, they have high electrical and thermal conductivity qualities. | ||||
