| Abstract | A closed cell rubber foam, based on a natural rubber (NR)/nanoclay nanocomposite, was produced using a one-step foaming process with compression molding. The effects of three different nanoclays on the properties of the NR/nanoclay nanocomposite foam were examined: an un-modified nanoclay (Cloisite Na+) and two organo-modified nanoclays (Cloisite 20A and Cloisite 30B). We examined their curing behavior, foam morphology, sound absorption, and their mechanical and thermal properties. The morphological results from X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) showed that the Cloisite Na+ agglomerated in the NR matrix while an intercalated-exfoliated/fully-exfoliated morphology was seen in the Cloisite 30B and the Cloisite 20A, respectively. The rheometry results showed that all three nanoclay types increased the NR's curing rate, and also accelerated its scorch and curing time. Other results showed that the organo-modified nanoclays, which were the ammonium-salt modified nanoclays (Cloisite 30B and Cloisite 20A), improved the foam's curing behavior more than the pristine Cloisite Na+. Using the one-step foaming process kept the nanocomposite foam density and expansion ratio constant in all of the samples, independent of the nanoclay type. Meanwhile, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that the nanoclay increased the cell density and decreased the cell size, depending on the nanoclay type. The mechanical properties of NR nanocomposite foams including the hardness and the modulus were improved by incorporating the nanoclays. At the same time, there was a gradual deterioration in the foams' sound absorption and thermal stability behavior. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
