We demonstrate the synthesis of a novel core-satellite-structured BaTiO-poly(dopamine)-silver (BT-PDA-Ag) nanoparticle for improving dielectric properties of nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) nanocomposites. The BT-PDA-Ag nanoparticles are synthesized by dopamine oxidative polymerization and electroless plating of silver. The Ag nanoparticles decorated on the BT nanoparticles enhanced the dielectric constant of NBR nanocomposites due to the increased conductivity of the filler/matrix interlayer and nanocapacitor structure. In addition, the incorporation of the BT nanoparticles prevented the continuous connection of Ag nanoparticles and suppressed the formation of a conductive path in the NBR matrix. Moreover, the ultrasmall Ag nanoparticles trapped the carriers by Coulomb blockade and quantum confinement effects, which results in low dielectric loss and electrical conductivity of nanocomposites. The proposed method with simplicity and scalability can be adapted to process high-dielectric polymer nanocomposites.

With the continuous development of science and technology, research and application of new materials are becoming more and more important. MXene, with its layered two-dimensional structure, is widely used as a new functional filler in rubber, offering excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and mechanical properties, and in electronic devices, sensors, and energy storage. However, due to its high surface energy, it is not quite compatible with most polymer substrates.

Polypropylene (PP)/acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) composite plates reinforced with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were manufactured in the presence of dual compatibilizers: PP-grafted maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) and styrene ethylene butylene styrene-grafted maleic anhydride (SEBS-g-MA). The mechanical characteristics and microstructure of the PP/NBR/HNT nanocomposites were investigated as a function of NBR content (10, 20, and 30 wt.%) and HNTs content (3, 5, and 7 wt.

To prepare a nanocomposite adhesive based on nitrile rubber (NBR) with excellent mechanical/anticorrosion properties, cerium oxide (CeO) nanoparticles were grafted with bis-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]tetrasulfide silane (TESPT) at different concentrations (i.e., 1, 5, 10, and 20 times the stoichiometric content).

Non-agglomeration and dispersion of silica nanoparticles in polymers and their interfacial interactions to polymer matrix are the most important factors that influence nanocomposites performance. In this work, vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) as a low VOC emission coupling agent was used for surface modification of silica nanoparticles to prepare better dispersion in nitrile rubber (NBR) and improve its interfacial interactions to silica nanoparticles. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy demonstrated successful attachment of VTES molecules on the surface of silica nanoparticles.

In this study, the effects of NBR polarity and organoclay addition on the curing, rheological, mechanical, and thermal properties of an NBR/phenolic resin blend were investigated. The samples were prepared using a two-roll mill. The results showed that rheological and tensile properties improved due to the good distribution of nanoparticles, as well as the good compatibility of nitrile butadiene rubber with phenolic resin.
