Polymeric materials incorporated with nanosized fillers, known as nanocomposites, have attracted much interest from both industry and academia due to their unexpected properties such as superior mechanical properties, reduced gas permeability and improved thermal resistance [1-3]. Generally speaking, reinforcing materials of the nanocomposites are classified into three groups consisting of 1) nanoparticles, namely silica, metal and metal oxides such as copper, gold and alumina, 2) nanofibers, for example carbon nanotubes and 3) nanoplatelets, for instance graphite and layered silicates. In this work effect of organo nanoclay platelet (OC), alumina nanoparticle (ANP) and copper nanoparticle (CNP) on the properties of rubber compounds based on nitrile-butadiene-rubber (NBR) is examined
