A: Overview of the thesis
1. Problem statement Polymer nanocomposite material in general and rubber nanocomposite
in particular are particularly interested in research and development in the time to come because they have many superior properties superiority.
In rubber applications, reinforcement mostly used in orrder to create better quality products and reduce costs (active fillers). Traditional reinforcement in the rubber industry such as black coal, silica, clay powder... These enforcements were predominantly micro-sized at lower costs, so they are often referred to as fillers (active or inert fillers). Rubbers are reinforced with these materials are called composite rubbers.
Different from rubber composite, rubber nanocomposite was reinforced with nanometer-sized fillers (their size has one of three dimensions below 100nm), nanocomposite rubbers were created by different techniques, such as mixing in a melted state, mixing in solution, mixing in latex state followed by method of coagulation and polymerisation around filler particles. Compared to rubber reinforced with micro fillers, rubbber reinforced with nano fillers has better stiffness, modular, anti-ageing and airproof property. For each type of filler, besides advantages, there are always disadvantages. Therefore, in order to promote advantages and limit disadvantages of each type of filler, recently, some researches have combined two type of fillers together [1,3] but not much. Realizing that the research direction of combining nano-additives with black coal reinforced for rubber materials is a new direction today, because the number of published works is still small and it is unclear the influence when combining black coal with nano clay, nanosilica and carbon nanotubes. Stemming from that reason, the thesis is aimed at: “Study on enhancement of technical characteristics for some composite rubbers with nano additive” as the subject of research. 2. Objectives of research and its content
The objective of the research is to evaluate combination ability of nano additive with carbon black reinforced for rubber and rubber blend. - Create rubber nanocomposite materials with a high quality, solvent durability and sustainability in the naturally humid environment. The content of the research: - Study on denaturing nanoclay, carbon nanotubes, nanosilica surface with different agents, - Study on manufaturing and evaluating the property of rubber nanocomposite based on the blend of natural rubber (NR)/rubber butadien acrylonitril (NBR); natural rubber (NR)/Rubber clopren (CR) reinforced with nano additive, - Study on combining nano reinforced material with carbon black using in four type of substrates: natural rubber, blend natural rubber (NR)/rubber

butadien acrylonitril (NBR); natural rubber (NR)/Rubber clopren (CR) and blend rubber butadiene acrylonitrile (NBR)/polyvinyl chlorite (PVC), - Study on combining nanosilica, nanoclay and carbon black materials with each other in the substrate of blend rubber NR/CR.
3. Contributions of research - Denatured, organized nanoclay with a mixture of surfactants (DTAB; BTAB; CTAB with molar ratio was 30:5:65). Obtained organic clay with properties: 21,3% organic content; distance d100 = 1,86nm; swells in organic solvent (axetone, xylene: 16; 23ml). - Optimal CB content for rubber blend NBR/PVC (70/30) was 40 pkl. At this
content, the materials had tensile strength increased by 47,1% compare to
sample that had no containing CB. With higher CB content (50 pkl), carbon
black particles tend to agglomerate making the tight structure of the material
is broken, resulting in reduced material mechanical properties.
- Suitable CNT content in order to combine replacing CB was 1 pkl. With
CB/CNT content (39/1), rubber blend materials had structure tighter.
Mechanical, thermal durability and thermal conductivity properties of rubber
blend materials NBR/PVC were incrseased.
- Rubber blend nanocomposite materials NBR/PVC/39CB/1CNT had high
mechanical-physical-technical properties can be satisfactory in order to
create technical rubber products, especially abrasion resistance and great
friction rubber products.
- Suitable carbon black content in order to reinforce for natural rubber, blend
NR/CR and NR/NBR was in the range of 25-30pkl. Combined nanosilica
content for these blends were quite similar 5pkl. So, in order to reinforce for
NR and blends with CR and NBR were 25pkl carbon black and 5pkl
Nanosilica. At this content, breaked tensile strength increased about 11% (for
NR), 18% for blend of NR/CR and 16% for blend of NR/NBR.
- Suitable carbon black content in order to reinforce for rubber blend
materials based on NBR/PVC were about 40pkl (compare to 100% rubber
blend), significantly higher compare to material system from natural rubber
and blend of NR with CR and NBR (only form 25-30pkl). At combining
ratio of carbon black/CNT (39/1 pkl) giving tensile strength of material
increase11%, increasing decomposition starting temperature as well as
environmental durability.

23.13%. From the results of thermal analysis of the weight of CNT-(CO)-TESPT sample, this material began to decompose at about 3990C and occurred strongly at 446.63oC lasting until 684.26oC. Starting decomposition temperature low as well as maximum first decomposition is low of organic groups attached to the surface of CNT as well as the poorly structured components of CNT begin to decay. The corresponding decomposition of the amino group and separation of sulfur atoms according to the reaction [8]:
(CNT-COO)3Si(CH2)3S4(CH2)3Si(OH)3 Ct0

components. The process lasts until about 750oC, the volume does not change anymore, at this temperature the volume loss of the whole sample is 23.31%, so that can calculate the content of the preliminary group -(CO)-TESPT grafting on CNT surface is 9.81%. Comment: From the research results obtained shows that: - By alkyl reaction Fridel Craft has assembled PVC on the surface CNT with content PVC composite is about 23.0%. - By the surface reaction of Fischer esterification CNT (oxidized) by TESPT or PEG, 23.13% of group (-CO)-PEG and 9.81% -(CO)-TESPT on CNT surface. 3.1.2.

Figure 3.11: FT-IR of Bis-(3-trietoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulphite (TESPT)
From figure 3.11, it was found that, in the range of 4000 - 400cm-1, TESPT has a number of characteristic absorption bands, namely: in the wave number of 3000 - 2800cm-1, there is a fluctuation of the etoxy group, the number of waves from 1200-1000cm-1 asymmetrical stretching oscillations of C-O-Si, 1000 - 600cm-1 with stretching oscillation of C - C and oscillating symmetry of C - O - Si, under 500cm-1 with knives Dynamic deformation of C - O - Si.

The TEM image in Figure 3.22 can be seen, after denaturing the nanosilica particles less agglomeration, leading to the reduction of particle aggregation size. The results are consistent with the results of particle size analysis in the above section. 3.1.3. Denatured nanoclay
The Nanoclay modified with HH1 (DTAB:BTAB:CTAB molar ratio of 30:5:65) is the most effective. There are basic distance characteristics d=18.6nm, highest organic matter content (21.3%), high degree of solids in solvents. 3.2. Research and manufacture rubber nanocomposite materials based on rubber, reinforced rubber blend with nano additives 3.2.1. Effect of nano content on the mechanical properties of materials 3.2.1.1. Effect of unmodified nano content on the tensile strength of the material
Nano (nanosilica (NS); carbon nanotubes (CNT); nanoclay (NC) are reinforced for the NR and rubber blend in different survey content from 1 to 10 pkl.
Figure 3.24: Tensile strength of
materials using non-denatured nano
Figure 3.25: Length of elongation of
nanomaterials not yet denatured
From the results in the table and the figures above, the content of
nano additives is suitable for each specific material background as follows:
- For NR substrate, the suitable reinforcement nanosilica content (NS) is
3pkl, resulting in maximum tensile strength and elongation when breaking.
- For rubber base blend NR/NBR nanosilica content reinforced at 7pkl,
resulting in tensile strength and elongation at maximum breaking.
- For rubber base blend NR/CR content of nanosilica with appropriate
reinforcement at 5pkl, resulting in tensile strength and elongation at
maximum breaking.
- For rubber base blend NR/NBR content of CNT reinforced at 4pkl,
resulting in tensile strength and elongation at maximum breaking.
- For rubber base blending NR/CR with appropriate reinforcement nanoclay
content at 5pkl, resulting in maximum tensile strength and elongation when
breaking 3.2.1.2. The effect of nano additive denatured on the mechanical properties of materials
Samples of materials are compared accordingly on the charts below:

From figure 3.26 and figure 3.27 charts, the drag properties of superior denatured nano-materials compare to when not denatured 3.2.2. The influence of content nano on the figure structure of material 3.2.2.1. Figure structure of Thai NR material using nanosilica denatured and not denatured:

a. NR/3pkl nanosilica b. NR/3pkl nanosilica modified TESPT
The mechanism of linking between nanosilica denatured by TESPT
and rubber substrate can be described as follows (figure 3.42):
Figure 3.41: Illustration of the reaction between NR and nanosilica denatured TESPT
This bonding makes the material structure more rigid than the
temperature and the highest decomposition temperature is higher than the
larger compare model using non-denatured nanosilica (up to 2,850C and
5,270C respectively). This is also the reason for the mechanical properties of
materials increasecao.
3.2.3.2. Effect of nanosilica on the thermal properties of rubber blend
materials
* Thermal properties of rubber blend NR/NBR reinforced nanosilica
* Thermal properties of rubber blend NR/CR system to strengthen nanosilica
* Thermal properties of rubber blend NR/CR system for nanoclay
reinforcement:
* Thermal properties of rubber blend NR/NBR reinforced CNT.
In general, when using nano additive denatured for natural rubber and
rubber blend substrates, the thermal properties of the fabric are positively
affected. When there is a nano additive surface in the rubber base material
that shields the impact of heat for rubber elements, it has increased the
stability and thermal durability for materials.

3.3.1. Combine nano silica and carbon black to reinforce natural rubber
3.3.1.1. The effect of content on black carbon on the mechanical properties of materials
When the carbon black content increases: tensile strength of the
material increase fast, the abrasion resistance resistance increases such as
only a certain limit of 25pkl and then begins to decrease again. The choice of
content carbon black is 25pkl used in order to conduct further surveys.
3.3.1.2. Effect of nanosilica on the physical properties of materials
The results of examining the effect of content nanosilica on the
mechanical properties of 25pkl carbon black NR materials are presented in

Notice that the tensile strength, abrasion resistance, elongation and elongation of the material peaked at optimal nanosilica content when combined with carbon black for NR material is 5pkl. 3.3.1.3. Figure structure of the material
In order to evaluate the morphological structure of materials, we use scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in order to capture fracture surfaces of some typical material samples. Results are presented in figures 3.44, and figure 3.45 below:
Figure 3.44: Surface SEM image

material sample
Figure 3.45: Surface SEM image of
fractured material NR/25pkl carbon
black/5pkl nanosilica
Realizing that, in the natural rubber model, there are 25pkl carbon
black, carbon black filler is distributed relatively evenly on the surface of the
NR platform, but there is a convex surface. When 5pkl nanosilica is added to
the sample, the sample surface retains the regular distribution of such NR
15
fillers as 25pkl carbon black reinforcement, but the surface is less convex.
This proves that with small content nanosilica still maintains the uniform
distribution of the components in the material block, the components in the
combination are better connected. Thus, the fractured surface of the material
is less convex, concave, indicating the figure structure of the tight material.

Realizing that the material's durability is a little bit higher when the content of nanosilica denatured is 5pkl (starting decomposition temperature increase of 1.4oC). When the nanosilica content is too high (10pkl) starting decomposition temperature of the material falls sharply (4oC reduction). This can be explained by the fact that the nanosilica content in the rubber component is too large, which leads to the formation of separate phases (such as the figure state structure indicated), reducing the tight structure of the material leading to The thermal stability of the material decreases. 3.3.1.5. Environmental stability of materials
The aging coefficient of the material is determined according to TCVN 2229-77 after testing in the air and salt water 10% at 70oC after 96h is shown in Table 3.18.

Realizing that, when denatured with the NR reinforcement of 25pkl
carbon black with content nanosilica is appropriate (5pkl compare to NR) has
made the increase of environment for materials (aging coefficient in air and
salt water 10% both increases significantly). This can be explained by the
presence of nanosilica which makes the material more structured, preventing
the effect of oxygen in the air as well as other aggressive elements, making
the increase environmental durability for the material.
3.3.2. Combine nano additive silica, nanoclay and carbon black to enhance
the blend of natural rubber and rubber cloropren
16
In rubber processing technology, people use many types of
reinforcing fillers such as black carbon, silica, clay, dolomite, ... However, in
each specific rubber and additive system, the fillers have influence and
content Different optimizations. In this study, the nano additive used
includes: nanosilica (NS), carbon black (CB) and nanoclay (NC) as
reinforcement for the rubber blend system NR/CR (70/30).

Notice that, when content carbon black (CB) increasen, tensile strength of increaseand
material reaches maximum value at content carbon black is 30pkl. Own stiffness of
increasing material gradually with the increasecontent carbon black
The change of these values is because when the CB content is within the
optimal limit of CB particles forming its network, it also separates the large rubber
molecules in all directions to form a hydrocarbon network. Two interwoven networks,
hooked together to form a rubber structure - the filler continuously enhances the
mechanical properties of the material. From the above results, the combined carbon
black content is 30pkl selected to order in order to continue research.
3.3.2.2. The effect of nanoclay content replaces nanosilica to the mechanical
properties of the material
Table 3.19: The effect of nanoclay content replaces nanosilica to the
From the X-ray diffraction diagrams, the reflection peak (001) of
nanoclay appears at angle 2 = 5.2o with the base distance d = 1.86 nm
(Figure 3.53). With this base distance, the layers of the original nanoclay
remain in order. After being dispersed into rubber blend NR/CR, the base
distance of nanoclay increased to approximately 4.14 nm with the angle of
2 = 2.1o (Figure 3.54). This result shows that the structure the layers of
nanoclay have been changed and changed into interlayer structures in the
rubber base. Therefore, the physical and mechanical properties of the
material improved markedly.
3.3.3. Combined study of enhanced nano silica and black coal for blends
of natural rubber and nitrile butadiene rubber (NR/NBR)
3.3.3.1. Effect of black coal content on the mechanical properties of materials
The used black coal content surveyed in the range of 20pkl-35pkl
according to the result of the rubber content at 25pkl ratio is more
advantageous in terms of elongation when breaking and abrasion resistance.

Based on these results, the content of black coal of 25pkl is used to carry out
the next survey.
3.3.3.2. Effect of nanosilica on the physical properties of materials
The survey results of the effect of nanosilica content on the
mechanical properties of materials from NR with 25pkl of black coal are
presented in Table 3.23 below.

Thus, similar to the survey of NR/CB system of NR/NBR (80/20) blend
with 25pklCB content in gravel. The optimal nanosilica content is also 5pkl.
3.3.3.3. Study the morphological structure of materials
To evaluate the morphological structure of the material, a scanning
electron microscope (SEM) was used to capture the fractured surface of a
number of typical material samples. The results are shown in the pictures below:

Realizing that, in the NR / NBR blend with 25pkl of black coal, the
black coal filler is distributed relatively evenly on the surface of the
substrate, but compared to the sample with 5pkl nanosilica, the surface is
more smooth and uniform. With the content of 5pkl nanosilica has strong
effect on the morphological structure of the material NR/NBR blend in a
positive direction, thus increasing the mechanical properties of the material.
3.3.3.4. Effect of the denaturing process on the thermal stability of the material
The thermal stability of the material is assessed through thermal
decomposition by thermal weight analysis (TGA). Research results are
presented in table 3.24 below.

Realizing that, when the black coal content (CB) increases, the tensile
strength of the material increases and the abrasion decreases. At the CB
content of 40 pkl, the tensile strength reaches the maximum value and the
abrasion reaches the minimum value.

3.3.4.3. Study the morphological structure of materials ơ
From FESEM images, the NBR/PVC sample contains 25pkl CB,
carbon black particles are distributed relatively evenly on the surface of the
rubber base. However, on the fractured surface of the material still has
concave convex phenomenon. When the content carbon black increase reaches
40pkl, the carbon black particles are more evenly distributed on the broken
surface, the broken surface of the material is quite smooth, so the figure
structure of the material is tighter. When replacing 1pkl CB with 1pkl CNT,
on the broken surface of the material, the carbon black particles disperse and
interact with the rubber substrate better. Therefore, with 1pkl CNT replacing
CB has significantly improved the mechanical properties of materials.
