N1 and ΔN1 of LDH/NBR composites.

Sample Unmodified NBR NBR/LDH–NO3 (5 phr) NBR/LDH–SAS (1 phr) NBR/LDH–SAS (3 phr) NBR/LDH–SAS (5 phr) NBR/LDH–SAS (7 phr)
Tg (°C) −22.1 −20.3 −20.9 −19.9 −19.4 −18.9
E′AVG (MPa) 2.25 3.50 3.00 4.32 4.78 3.89

ΔN1 (1014) 0 1.07 0.64 1.77 2.16 1.40

N1: the number of network chains per unit volume of rubber; ΔN1: the difference in the number of network chains between NBR/LDH composites and unmodified NBR.
