In most rubber applications, carbon black is the main reinforcing material utilised to enhance the performance characteristics of elastomer-based composites.
For tyre treads and other industrial rubber goods that need to be highly durable, reinforcing carbon blacks are available in regular products as well as tailored particle solutions.
Semi-reinforcing carbon blacks are available in both industry standard and customised particle forms for a variety of industrial and tyre applications.
The Global EV Reinforcing carbon black market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The most significant reinforcing material utilised in the tyre sector is carbon black (CB). On the surface of CB nanoparticles, there are structural, impurity, hydrogen, and chemical defect points.
These defect points have the potential to become active sites, and some of the high energy sites play a significant role. In material science and engineering, the reinforcement mechanism of rubber by filling CB is intriguing and the topic of much discussion.
Existing findings claim that CB nanoparticles’ smaller size, narrower particle size distribution, and stronger surface activity are what give rubber a better reinforcing effect.
Rubber packed with graphitized CB was put through a performance test to demonstrate this. The surface activity of the graphitized CB is reduced when CB is heated in an inert environment at a temperature greater than 2700°C because all of the functional groups are broken down.
Graphitized CB has a significantly reduced reinforcing effect on rubber products. At high strain, for instance, the modulus and abrasion resistance both clearly drop.
When it comes to the surface activity of CB nanoparticles, interactions between the filler and the filler and rubber, including both chemical and physical factors, are what provide the reinforcement effect.
It has to do with the various chemical groups that are present on the surface, including carboxyl, quinine, phenol, and lactone in a chemical sense.At the moment, carbon black is still a significant reinforcing agent for rubber, and it operates mostly through adjustments to improve its reinforcing potential.
