Abstract: | One approach to improve the impact strength of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS)/clay nanocomposites is to increase rubber content. To investigate the effect of the rubber content of ABS on the mechanical properties of the ABS/clay nanocomposites, other parameters were fixed and ABS/clay nanocomposites containing various rubber contents were prepared in this study. Also the effect of the UV stabilizer on the mechanical properties of ABS/clay nanocomposite was studied. For addition of 3 wt% clay, ABS nanocomposite with 35 wt% content of rubber displayed the highest reinforcement ratio for tensile properties and impact strength. |
