Abstract

Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) with hollow nanotubular structures were used as a new type of filler for ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) matrix. EPDM/HNT nanocomposites were prepared using a two roll mill by adding 0 to 100 parts per hundred rubber (phr) HNTs. The results show that the tensile properties were increased with the addition of HNTs. The curing time decreased from 0 to 15 phr loading but subsequently increased from 15 to 100 phr, whereas the maximum torque exhibited an increasing trend from 0 to 100 phr. The addition of HNTs reduced the tan δ_max and increased the storage modulus especially for the EPDM/HNT nanocomposites at high HNT loading.
