Green preparation and enhanced gas barrier property of rubber nanocomposite film based on graphene oxide-induced chemical crosslinking

A green and facile preparation method of graphene oxide/nitrile butadiene rubber (GO/NBR) nanocomposite film was developed for application in gas barrier. In the process, chemical crosslinks were formed by graphene oxide (GO)-induced crosslinking in absence of vulcanization ingredients. It was found that the GO-induced crosslinking occurred at a higher concentration of 1.0 wt% and a higher temperature of 170.0 °C. The GO-induced crosslinking did...
