Abstract

In this study, modified nanographene oxide (mGO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced phenyl silicone rubber (PSR) composites were created and studied. The nanocomposites containing hybrid nanofillers were fabricated using a melt mixing technique and the morphology of the resulting nanocomposites was examined through field emission scanning electron microscopy. The synergistic impact of mGO and CNTs on the mechanical characteristics of the PSR hybrid composites was investigated. A notable enhancement in the cure, mechanical and swelling resistance properties is evident in the hybrid nanocomposites compared to those filled with individual mGO. The PSR hybrid composites were assessed for their tensile strength, elongation at break, 100% modulus, tear strength, hardness, rebound resilience, abrasion resistance, compression set, swelling resistance and microstructure. The micro-structural, mechanical and other properties of the nanocomposites are greatly influenced by the concentration of CNTs and mGO. In this study, the nanocomposites with 6 phr of mGO and 3 phr of CNTs exhibited an increase in tensile strength and abrasion resistance of 24% and 22% over the mGO filler filled composites and also displayed superior swelling resistance and tear strength. The formation of mGO–CNTs local filler networks can reasonably explain the synergistic reinforcement observed in PSR/mGO/CNTs nanocomposites. Furthermore, it has been observed that as the CNTs content in the nanocomposites increases, there is an additional improvement in mechanical properties and crosslink density. This enhancement can be attributed to the synergistic effect between mGO and CNTs, which arises from the formation of a physical and chemical network.
