Abstract

The inclusion of clay nanoparticles (nanoclay) in cross-linked natural rubber (NR) induces an early promotion and enhancement on crystallization under uniaxial deformation. We evaluate and monitor the molecular structure of the polymer network and its changes during elongation by using in-situ synchrotron radiation. Nanoclay introduces an increase of the crystalline content and a dual crystallization mechanism related to the alignment of the nanoparticles during stretching. This study could be the starting point on the designing of a new generation of elastomers materials without the trade-off exhibited in conventional rubber composites.
