Use <strong>of</strong> <strong>nano</strong> <strong>z<strong>in</strong>c</strong> <strong>oxide</strong> <strong>in</strong> styrene butadiene rubber<br />
comparable to vulcanizate with 5phr ZnO(c). El<strong>on</strong>gati<strong>on</strong> at break is found to<br />
be less for vulcanizates with 2phr ZnO(p) <strong>and</strong> ZnO(s). This <strong>in</strong>dicates that<br />
smaller particle size <strong>of</strong> ZnO(p) <strong>and</strong> ZnO(s) leads to an improved distributi<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> SBR matrix.<br />

The mechanical properties for filled vulcanizate with 5phr ZnO(c) are<br />
superior compared to vulcanizate with 2phr ZnO(c). Vulcanizates with 2phr<br />
ZnO(p) <strong>and</strong> ZnO(s) showed better abrasi<strong>on</strong> resistance, compressi<strong>on</strong> set <strong>and</strong><br />
flex resistance compared to vulcanizate with 5phr ZnO(c). This may be due<br />
to smaller particle size <strong>of</strong> ZnO(p) <strong>and</strong> ZnO(s). Hardness values are<br />
comparable with <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong>al ZnO vulcanizates. Heat build-up values<br />
are low for vulcanizates with 2phr ZnO(p) <strong>and</strong> ZnO(s) vulcanizates.<br />
