In this study, nanocomposite foams based on styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) copolymer and nanosized calcium carbonate (CaCO3) were prepared using chemical blowing agent (modified Azodicarbonamide) by compression molding at (230°C) temperature and (30MPa) pressure. The effect of nano CaCO3 concentration on cell nucleation rate, foam density, morphology and mechanical properties were studied for all samples. It was found that foam morphology and strength affected by nanofiller addition and its concentration. The results showed that SBS nanocomposite foam with 5 phr of CaCO3 nanoparticles have more cell density and smaller size cells compared with another samples. mechanical properties in compressive mode for foams were improved by increasing nano calcium carbonate content.

A new series of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) and semi-IPNs based on styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and poly[methyl methacrylate] (PMMA) have been synthesized by sequential polymerization.
