The paper describes the investigation of the effect of functionalized carbon 1D nanostructures (single- or multiwalled nanotubes, nanofibers with a relatively smooth or highly disordered outer surface) on the level of interfacial interactions in filled vulcanizates. It is found that functionalization of nanoparticles with carbon black is accompanied by formation of hybrid structures in phase of filler that leads to increasing vulcanizate stiffness. Functionalization of nanoparticles by polyfunctional polymers increases the level of interfacial interactions on the vulcanizate-textile cord border without deterioration of the complex of elastic-strength properties.

The paper investigates sorption of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) and zinc ions by 1D carbon nanostructures (CNS) of different morphologies. It was found that the organization of graphene planes in the body of the CNS and pre-activation of the nanomaterial with ultrasound determine the nature of the interaction with functionalizator and the value of adsorption. It is shown that the functionalization products affect complex of physico-mechanical properties of the rubber compositions and vulcanizates. This can be used for obtaining a rubber with high fatigue endurance and with increased frost resistance.
