Rubber/clay nanocomposites have been explored as alternative materials to replace expensive halogenated butyl rubber. In order to further improve their gas barrier properties, a simple and efficient method through sulfur modification was applied in this work. Excess sulfur was added into SBR/clay nanocompound to prepare sulfur modified nanocomposite via the formation of cyclic sulfide in addition to crosslinking. The vulcanization behavior, mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical property and gas barrier property of the nanocomposites were investigated. It was found that the sulfur modified SBR/clay nanocomposites showed much increased glass transition temperature and lower gas permeability.

AbstractBecause of their large potential for agricultural, industrial and medicinal applications, nanomaterials have been the focus of much research during the past few decades. Nanoclays are natural nanomaterials that occur in the clay fraction of soil, among which montmorillonite and allophane are the most important species. Montmorillonite is a crystalline hydrous phyllosilicate (layer silicate). Organically-modified montmorillonites or ‘organoclays’, formed by intercalation of quaternary ammonium cations, have long been used as rheological modifiers and additives in paints, inks, greases and cosmetics and as carriers and delivery systems for the controlled release of drugs. Perhaps the largest single usage of organoclays over recent years has been in the manufacture of polymer-clay nanocomposites. These organic–inorganic hybrid materials show superior mechanical, thermal and gas-barrier properties. Organoclays are also useful in pollution control and water treatment. Allophane is a non-crystalline aluminosilicate derived from the weathering of volcanic ash. A large proportion of the agricultural land in Chile is covered by volcanic soils,the clay fraction of which is dominated by allophane. Consisting of nanosize (3.5–5.0 nm) hollow spherules, allophane is a suitable support material for enzyme immobilization. Allophane is also effective at adsorbing phenolic compounds and colour from kraft mill effluents and phosphate from water and wastewater.
