Characterization of Butadiene Styrene Rubber Composites with Halloysite Filler

Abstract

The study of elastomeric composites properties with inorganic mineral fillers is of great interest both in fundamental and applied research. This paper presents experimental results of investigation the composite materials based on industrial synthetic rubber SCS-30 ARC using aluminosilicate mineral halloysite as filler. Halloysite is a unique class of natural minerals.They consists of layers aluminum oxide and silicon oxide [1]. The obtained composites research surface structure by means of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) as well as testing of their physical and mechanical properties has been carried out. The synthesized composites were prepared with a halloysite content filling 65 mass parts per 100 mass parts of elastomer.
