The nanocomposite formation in ethylene/propylene/diene rubber (EPDM) mixed with montmorillonite modified with octadecylamine (MMT-ODA) was investigated. The rubber formulation used proved to be critical for the final materials’ properties. The combined action of the curatives and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), which was grafted on the EPDM, resulted in better intercalation and enhanced mechanical behavior of the rubber nanocomposites.

This paper studies how the addition and various content of Carbon nanotube (CNT) affecting the properties, especially the color difference of ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM)/ CaCO3 composites. The results show that the increased content of CNT can turn EPDM/CaCO3 composites from lighter, greener, and bluer to darker, redder and yellower, respectively. The total color change (ΔE) of EPDM/CaCO3 composites is acceptable, when the content of CNT is less than 2wt%. The optimum tensile strength of EPDM composites can be gained, when the content of CNT is 3%.
