PERASTIC LLC - Using Nanotechnology to Make Tough, Processable, Rubber...

N-Nanbrol®was recently used in the creation of composite armor.  The rubber was on the outside and in layers.  Yes, a coating of rubber can increase the effectiveness of armor.
How?  Rubber can act like a non-Newtonian fluid under fast compression conditions.  That is, the shock wave goes through the rubber quicker than the strands can adjust.  That rapid pressure change induces the rubber to undergo the glass transition (where...

From our A-Nanbrol® page:
Note that the 100% A-Nanbrol® compound achieves better Die C tear results at 200°C than the standard compound does at room temperature.
Think about that for a minute.  In fact, read it again, I’ll wait.  Got it?

34 ACN H-Nanbrol® based compound
Wavelength of visible light: 200 – 700 nm
Size of nanoclay: 250 x 50 x 3 nm

We previously reported results of using N-Nanbrol in XNBR roller compounds.  The 50% reduction in abrasion loss is a value you, and your customer can capture.
If a drive roller lasts twice as long, you would expect to pay near double the price.  Even at that cost, your customer saves money in downtime if the new rollers are tuned correctly....
