Abstract
Nanofillers have been investigated recently to improve desired characteristic properties of rubber nanocomposites. In this work, commercially available exfoliated Graphene nanoPlatlets (xGnPs) of types xg C750 and xg M5 were used as nanofillers and N234 was used as a traditional filler. A synthetic isoprene rubber (IR) was used as rubber matrix for nanocomposites prepared by dry melt mixing. The xg C750 filled nanocomposites shows higher rheological and electrical properties while those with xg M5 and N234 shows higher tensile strength. For all fillers, increase in filler loading results in an improvement of an rheological, electrical and mechanical properties. All filled nanocomposites show an exponential increase in mechanical and electrical properties at filler loading above percolation threshold.
