Mechanical and Unlubricated Sliding Wear Properties of Nitrile Rubber Reinforced with Micro Glass Flake

In this study, the filled nitrile rubber (NBR) was prepared with micro glass flake (GF). The tribological behaviors of filled NBR were tested by a ball-on-disk tribometer. Material properties such as glass transition temperature (Tg), fracture energy, tensile strength and dispersity of GF filler wer...
