The treatment resulted in enhancement of mechanical properties of composites of the said rubber when compared with untreated clay composites separately. The properties under consideration were tensile strength, modulus at 100% and 400%, Young's modulus, elongation at break, hardness, etc. Tensile strength was improved by 118.75%, modulus at 400% was found to improve by 422% while Young's modulus also was improved by 133% when compared with untreated clay composites at 0.42 volume fraction.</p>1 aAlkadasi, N., A.
