Abstract

In this paper, graphene oxide (GO) and carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid fillers were used to replace partial carbon black (CB), and GO/CNT/CB/NR composites were prepared with excellent crack growth resistance, low heat build-up and superior mechanical properties. Mechanical testing revealed a significant synergistic reinforcement between GO/CNT and CB in NR composites. The improved dispersion of GO/CNT hybrid fillers and CB in the NR matrix was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Through the fatigue test, the GO/CNT/CB/NR composites showed excellent fatigue crack growth resistance and low heat build-up compared to CB/NR composites. These properties provide the NR composites with better applications in industry.
