Studies on coconut shell powder and crysnanoclay incorporated acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber/ styrene butadiene rubber (NBR/SBR) green nanocomposites

The development of commercially viable “green products” based on natural resources for both matrices and reinforcements for a wide range of applications is on the rise. This effort includes new pathways to produce natural polymers with better mechanical properties and thermal stability using nanotechnology and use of naturally occurring fillers such as lignocellulosic and hemicellulose to make biodegradable rubber composites. The blends of...
