Nanocomposites of organo Zn-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) with natural rubber (SMR CV60) were successfully synthesized and characterized. To prepare the nanocomposites, a hydrophilic Zn-Al layer double hydroxide (ZnAl LDH -NO3- )was first converted into the organophilic form by using dodecylsulp...
