Study of distinctions in the synergistic effects between carbon nanotubes and different metal oxide nanoparticles on enhancing thermal oxidative stability of silicone rubber

In this work, the distinctions in the synergistic effects between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and different metal oxide (MeO) nanoparticles on enhancing the thermal oxidative stability of silicone rubber (SR) were studied in depth. Specifically, three kinds of MeO nanoparticles were attached onto the surface of CNTs, obtaining Fe2O3–CNTs, TiO2–CNTs, and SnO2–CNTs, respectively. These MeO nanoparticles-attached CNTs were then separately embedded into...
