The maximum torque values register an increase with the increase in loading of nickel in both composites and this is attributed to the non-interacting nature of nickel nanoparticles with rubber matrices. The cure time of natural rubber composites decreases with increase in the content of nickel, and in neoprene rubber cure, time increases with increase in filler content. In natural rubber, the curing reaction seems to be activated by the presence of nickel particles. The magnetization studies of the composites reveal that the magnetic properties of nickel are retained in the composite samples. The elastic modulus of natural rubber and neoprene rubber are largely improved by the incorporation of nickel particles.</p>10aCure characteristics10aElastic modulus10amagnetic properties10aNanocomposites1 aJamal, Muhammad, Abdul1 aJoy, Pattayil, Alias1 aKurian, Philip1 aAnantharaman, Maliemadom, R.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/magnetic-mechanical-and-rheological-properties-rubber-nickel-nanocomposites-0
