Application of nano materials in the suction cup manufacturing industry

The application history of nanomaterials in the manufacture of rubber suction cups is not too short. Before the concept of “nanomaterials” was familiar to the rubber industry, the diameter of the carbon black (except thermal black) particles used in most rubber suction cup materials In fact, they are all within the nanometer range, and the situation of silica is similar.

Since the concept of “nanomaterials” was not accepted and familiar at the time, the rubber suction cup manufacturing industry had insufficient understanding of these two commonly used reinforcing materials, and it has long recognized only that these two materials are “fine particles” and “ratio”. Features a large surface area.

In recent years, through the understanding and understanding of the nanoscience system, people not only mastered the carbon black, the reinforcing mechanism of ‘white carbon black is related to their nanometer size, but also extended this cognition to other powder materials commonly used in rubber. . By processing such as grinding and pulverization, their sizes are also nanometer-sized (particle size is less than 100 nm), thereby expanding the range of nanomaterials suitable for rubber, and expanding their application in rubber.

Therefore, as long as the fineness of the powdery rubber compounding agent reaches the nanometer level, the function can be greatly improved. For example, the reinforcing effect of the filler is remarkably improved by this, and the coloring power of the coloring agent can be greatly improved. The reason why nanomaterials are so valued in the rubber suction cup manufacturing industry is the main reason.
