Previously polyisoprene-nanostructured carbon composite (PNCC) was prepared by mixing on cold rolls carbon black nanoparticle aggregates into the polyisoprene. The composite organic solvent vapour (osv) sensitivity has been evaluated (Fig.1). In this paper we are going to compare osv sensitivity of previously made PNCC with PNCC, which is made using sonication for carbon black nanoparticle dispersion into the polyisoprene. The composite osv sensitivity as a function of used filler material (carbon black nanoparticles or multi wall carbon nanotubes - MWCNT) also will be presented.
