Abstract
Rubber nanocomposites have a unique position both in academic and industrial point of view and extensive research studies are progressing in this area. Due to their ever increasing significance, a thorough investigation is necessary especially when the application side is considered. The enhanced surface area and high aspect ratio of nano materials lead to superior matrix/filler interaction and this results in the versatile properties and wide range of applications for the obtained nanocomposites. Nano fillers like layered silicates, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), fullerenes, silica, metallic nanoparticles, metal oxides, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), biomaterials, nanodiamonds etc. are used extensively in rubber composites fabrication. In this chapter, attempt has been made to briefly explain the recent advances in the area of nanofillers and their rubber nanocomposites. A thorough survey has been made by giving special emphasis to the filler geometry and composite morphology on one side and the composite properties on the other. Finally the study ends up with novel applications of rubber nanocomposites and the future perspectives in this area.
