In this study, a novel fluorine-containing carbon nanosphere was synthesized by high-temperature carbonization of waste fluororubber trimmings, and its mixing method with fluororubber was investigated. It was found that the solution mixing method resulted in the highest tensile strength (7.6 %) and modulus at 100 % strain (13.3 %) of fluororubber compared to the mechanical mixing method. Furthermore, the addition of fluorine-containing carbon nanosphere can significantly enhance fluororubber's heat resistance, inhibit its thermal degradation, and increase its ultimate service temperature (266.3 °C, 2 years). This work provides new insights into the preparation of high-performance fluororubber composites.
