Natural rubber (NR) latex was modified with graphene (GR) and graphene oxide (GO). These flaky carbonaceous nanofillers were characterized by Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques, and added to NR in an amount of up to 5 parts per hundred rubber (phr) in the presence and absence of c...
