| Summary: | Conductive carbon black (CCB), carbon nanotubes (CNT) and its hybrids are introduced into the natural rubber (NR) matrix aiming to explore the effect of filler ratio on the transport properties. Solvent transport of NR is found to decrease for hybrid filler systems as compared to single filler incorporated systems. Kinetic parameters of solvent transport behavior of filled NR systems are analyzed using various kinetic models. Upon the computation of kinetic parameters of transport data, it is found that the Peppas-Sahlin model is in good agreement with experimental observations, which suggests that the transport mechanism is diffusion controlled. Rubber–filler interaction parameters are computed and analyzed from the swelling experiments using Kraus, Cunneen-Russel, and Lorenz-Park equations |
