The research aims to evaluate a masterbatch strategy for improving filler dispersion and reinforcement in zirconia-filled nitrile butadiene rubber composites.
Utilized a masterbatch technique for zirconia reinforcement in NBR
Focused on in situ processing to enhance material properties
Analyzed the dispersion and reinforcement effects on the composite structure
Improved filler dispersion observed in zirconia-filled NBR composites
Increased mechanical strength noted in the modified composites
Enhanced overall performance of the NBR matrix reported
Abstract
