Kurzfassung:
A fiber‐reinforced rubber composite was prepared by mixing aramid nanofibers (ANF) suspension and nitrile rubber (NBR) latex. The effects of ANF content and corresponding surface modification on the microstructure, vulcanization performance, processing and mechanical properties of composite materials, were systematically investigated. We found that, compared with commonly used short‐cut aramid fibers, ANF fillers tend to form a stronger filling network within NBR matrix, resulting in a pronounced Payne effect. By improving the interfacial adhesion via dopamine (DA) coating onto ANF surface, the tensile strength can be further enhanced as expected. Besides, to eliminate the detriment of mechanical performance due to residual sodium polyacrylate in the course of flocculation, cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) was adopted to serve as a thickener during solution mixing. The incorporation of CNC can significantly improve the mechanical properties, which identifies a synergistic reinforcement effect arising from the cooperation of two types of fillers.
