The Effect of Filler on Epoxidised Natural Rubber-Alumina Nanoparticles Composites

Epoxidised natural rubber (ENR)-alumina nanoparticles composites (ENRAN) were produced by melt compounding followed by sulphur curing. Alumina nanoparticles were introduced in 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 parts per hundred rubber (phr) in the compounding recipes to study the effect of filler loading t...

The Effect of Filler on Epoxidised Natural Rubber-Alumina Nanoparticles Composites
