Abstract
In-situ surface modificated nano-zinc oxide was prepared in sol-gel method and the microscopic structure of the zinc oxide particles was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The influence of the nano-zinc oxide on the physical properties of NR vulcanizates was investigated, and the vulcanizates heat-resistant oxygen aging property was studied by the hot air accelerated aging method. Therefore, not only can the strength and elongation properties of vulcanizates greatly be improved, but aslo the heat oxygen aging property of vulcanizate rubber was extremely promoted.
