Bio-inspired polydopamine-coated clay and its thermo-oxidative stabilization mechanism for styrene butadiene rubber

Abstract

<italic>In situ</italic>thermal-oxidative ageing tests by electron spin resonance (ESR) evidence that polydopamine (PDA) deposited onto clay can act as excellent radical-scavenger and thus significantly diminish the thermolysis of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR).
