NanoRub

Customised Nanocomposites based on Rubber Matrices for High-demand Applications

 

This EU-financed project was targeted towards the development of customised nanocomposites based on rubber matrices for highly demanding applications. The intention of the project was to develop a viable industrial-scale technology for the production of high-performance elastomeric components based on sophisticated, interface-optimised nanoclay/rubber composites. Ultimately, it planned to develop & validate such a technology, & then manufacture economically viable prototypes for use as anti-vibration mounts, ball joints, roller coverings & insulation matting. All of these products were required to achieve the most demanding requirements of their intended applications.
