  • RUBBER-GRAPHENE COMPOSITE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20240309157
    Abstract: A rubber-graphene composite includes a paste and a rubber matrix, wherein the paste is mixed with the rubber matrix. The paste includes graphene, a plasticizer, and at least one additive selected from the group consisting of carbon black, biochar, and rice husk ash silica. A method for preparing a rubber-graphene composite includes mixing graphene with a plasticizer and at least one additive selected from the group consisting of carbon black, biochar, and rice husk ash silica to form a paste; mixing the paste with a rubber matrix to form an intermediate composite; accelerating the intermediate composite to form a final composite; and extruding and curing the final composite.
