Non-Linear Viscoelasticity of Rubber Composites and Nanocomposites

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 264))

Abstract

The present chapter focuses on the effect of hybrid fillers on the non-linear viscoelastic behaviour of rubber composites and nanocomposites. The viscoelastic behaviour of rubber composites include different properties like cure behavior, rheology, creep, and dynamic mechanical analysis etc. The properties measured under dynamic mechanical analysis are storage and loss moduli and tan δ. The variation of storage and loss moduli of rubber composites filled with different types of filler are discussed in detail. The non-linear viscoelastic behaviour (Payne effect) of rubber composites containing single filler are also discussed. The effect of various hybrid fillers on rubber composites are also discussed in detail and found composites containing hybrid fillers give better mechanical and viscoelastic properties than composites containing single filler. Composites containing hybrid fillers carry the properties of individual fillers. So composites of hybrid fillers are getting importance because they offer a range of properties that cannot be achieved with a single filler. Rubber composites containing hybrid fillers are promising class of materials with emerging applications in different fields like materials science, nanotechnology, and nanobiotechnology etc.
