Thermal Property Studies of In Situ Blended Graphene/Nature Rubber Nanocomposites

Thermal Property Studies of In Situ Blended Graphene/Nature Rubber Nanocomposites

In this work, graphene/nature rubber (GE/NR) composites with filler content from 0 wt% to 1 wt% were prepared by an in situ reduction process. Thermal properties of the nanocomposites were studied by thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and thermogravimetric difference (ΔTG). Composites with higher GE co...
