New trends of development with carbon black for rubber reinforcement

This paper summarizes the recent application reaserch progress of carbon black,rubber reinforcing fillers.It introduces the new grades of improved process carbon black,such as a low hysteresis carbon black,inversion carbon black and low iodine HAF carbon black etc,the new technology of carbon black surface modification,as well as the new approaches of improve carbon black- rubber interaction. In addition,it reports the progress or RD direction of carbon black in combination with competitors- silica and clay in order to further improve the mechanical properties of rubber.
