Sustainability Approach for Nanofillers in Additives for Rubber and Tire Industry
摘要
In today’s world, rubbers play a prominent role in various aspects of the industry, thanks to their excellent unique properties. Rubbers often consist of other components that are called fillers, to be reinforced. Studying these fillers is very important because, in this way, by knowing the structure and mechanism of matrix and filler, the properties and performance of the material can be effectively improved. In this study, existing articles and works done in the field of nanofillers in the tire and rubber industry are reviewed. In some articles, the efficiency of common fillers like silica and carbon black and their efficiency improvement are investigated. With the studies done on carbon black and especially considering its environmental impacts, some articles have focused on replacing these common fillers with other nanofillers. Also, these articles help introduce new, effective, and environmentally friendly fillers (green fillers). Therefore, the use of nanofillers in the rubber and tire industry has received much attention, and there is much work to be done in this field.
