Abrasion properties of rubber are important for applications in automobiles, sealing, and shoe soles.  Nanofillers, such as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and fullerenes may provide improved mechanical properties.  The abrasion resistance of hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR) with varying amounts of nanofillers and carbon black are investigated in this project. The mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, and frictional properties are discussed in this work.
