Research Progress of Acrylonitrile-butadiene Rubber Nanocomposites Filled with Graphene

Abstract

This article summarizes the preparation and functionalization of graphene, and introduces the fabrication methods of graphene/NBR nanocomposites including emulsion blending, solution blending, and mechanical blending. The mechanical properties, cure characteristics, fatigue properties, electrical conductivity, thermal behavior, tribological properties along with gas barrier properties are reviewed. With the further study of the molecular interaction between graphene and NBR, the structure and properties graphene/NBR are gradually perceived. Finally, it is pointed out that the development of graphene/NBR nanocomposites in the fields of medium corrosion resistance, radiation resistance, damping and flame retardancy has more room to be expanded.
