Effect of Carbon Black/Organoclay Hybrid Filler System on Tire Tread Compound Properties
The enhanced dispersion of organophilic layered silicates improves the mechanical properties of polymer/ silicate composites.In this work, a hybrid filler system consisting of Cloisite 15A organoclay (OC) and carbon black (CB) was used to improve the properties of the tire tread compounds.The physical and mechanical properties of compounds were ass
