This article reports the results of studies on the effect of 1 octadecanol abbreviated as c18 functionalization of carbon nanotubes cnt on electrical properties of natural rubber nr composites. Rubber blending is commercially important because it gives a balance of properties which one rubber alone cannot provide blend of natural rubber nr and nitrile rubber nbr imparts rubber with a balance in tensile strength and oil resistance while the other mechanical properties of the blend such as tear strength and abrasion resistance can be improved by the addition. There are two types of rubbers. The physical properties of crude natural rubber are indicated below.

Physical properties of crude natural rubber. Fourier transform infra red spectrometry ftir indicates. This sciencestruck article gives you a comparison between synthetic rubber and natural rubber. Synthetic rubber is easier to produce than natural rubber and has a wider range of applications.

The plasticity can be varied within certain ranges by chemicals. Unless they are specially compounded nitrile is not resistant to weathering sunlight and ozone. Nitrile has good mechanical properties and high wear resistance relative to other elastomers. Materials properties of nr epdm and nr hdpe 21.
