Abstract: Three kinds of clay were fractionated according to the particle size using ultrasonicand centrifugal method.The mechanical properties of the clay-rubber masterbatch with various clay fractions were determined.The results show that within a certain range,the clayparticle size only affects some of the mechanical properties of clay-rubber masterbatch.Thecharacteristic morphological structure of the clay provides a significant reinforcing action onclay-rubber masterbatch.

Key words: clay, clay-rubber masterbatch, reinforcing action
