N2 - During tensile deformation, nanofillers can orient and align with polymer chains to reinforce the strength and modulus of elastomeric nanocomposites. The presence of nanofillers can also enhance the orientation of surrounding polymer chains and accelerate the strain-induced crystallization behavior. Conventionally, natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber and thermoplastic elastomer (ethylene-propylene copolymer and poly-urethane) are routinely reinforced with fillers. In this chapter, the behavior of nanofiller-enhanced straininduced crystallization of elastomeric nanocomposites, based on natural/synthetic rubbers and fillers of varying sizes (from microns to nanometers) such as carbon black, multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), carbon nanofiber (CNF), nanoclay (NC) during deformation, is described.
