Nanocomposites of natural rubber (NR)/organo ZnAl layered double hydroxide (ZnAl LDH-DS) were successfully synthesized and characterized. A hydrophilic Zn-Al layered double hydroxide (ZnAl LDH-NO3-) was converted into the organophilic form by replacing the nitrate ion in between the ZnAl LDH-NO3- wi...
