Abstract

Journal of Composite Materials, Ahead of Print.
The service life of industrial V-belts is often curtailed by fatigue failure under cyclic loading. In this work, a styrene–butadiene/polybutadiene/smoked rubber (SBR/PBR/SMR) blend was reinforced with 5 phr Cloisite® 15A nanoclay and 5 phr short A-glass ...
