Filler networking of a nanographite with a high shape anisotropy and synergism with carbon black in poly(1,4-cis-isoprene)–based nanocomposites

TL;DR: In this article, a nanoGraphite (nanoG) having a high surface area and a high shape anisotropy, defined as the ratio between the crystallite dimensions in a direction orthogonal and parallel to structural layers, was used to prepare nanocomposites based on poly(1,4-cisoprene) (IR), in the neat polymer matrix and in the presence of carbon black (CB).
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of fracture resistance of natural rubber/clay nanocomposites by J-testing

TL;DR: In this paper, the fracture behavior of a series of vulcanized natural rubber/organoclay samples obtained by melt blending is studied. And the effect of the organoclay content within the elastomeric matrix on the fracture properties is analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic freedom: substrate stress relaxation stimulates cell responses

TL;DR: A mini-review of the influence of substrate stress relaxation on cell behavior and function as well as an emerging alternative design of tunable viscoelastic hydrogels that have been used as stable 3D cell culture platforms for a few years in the era of hydrogel systems are reported on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advancements in rubber nanocomposites

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that low crystalline order in the interlayer space of a layered nanofiller (such as organically modified clays (OC), carbon nanotubes (CNT), and graphitic nanofillers made by a few layers of graphene (nanoG) leads to easier delamination.
