CNT/NR composites were fabricated based on a CNT treatment using an acid bath followed by ball-milling with HRH bonding systems. Thermal properties, vulcanization characteristics and mechanical properties of the CNT/NR composites were characterized. Compared to CB, the incorporation of CNTs into NR was faster and the energy consumption was less. The over-curing reversion of CNT/NR composites was alleviated. After acid treatment and ball-milling, the dispersion of CNTs in the rubber matrix and the interaction between CNTs and the matrix was improved. The performance of the CNT/reinforced NR composites was enhanced by the incorporation of the treated CNTs as compared to neat NR and CB/NR composites.
