Effect of radiation dose on the properties of natural rubber nanocomposite

Effect of radiation dose and carbon nanotubes (CNT) on the mechanical properties of standard Malaysian rubber(SMR) was investigated in this study.SMR nanocomposites containing 1–7 phr CNT were prepared using the solvent casting method and the nanocomposites were radiated at doses of 50–200 kGy. The...
