Nano CaCO3 of size (9 nm), Commercial CaCO3, were added from 0.4 wt% to 0.5 wt% in styrene butadiene Rubber (SBR) separately. These nanocomposites were compounded and moulded. Mechanical and thermal properties were studied. These result were compared to fly ash filled SBR. There was an improvement in properties of rubber due to uniform dispersion of nano CaCO3 particles in the matrix. Then three new scheme of combing nano CaCO3, montmorillonite clay, Flyash were added in different ratios to SBR. This new Scheme of mixing Nano CaCO3, montmorillonite clay will give a new nano composites with increased Mechanical and Thermal properties. This can improve the burning resistance and absorbs the heat of burning which improves the flammability of rubber nano composites.
