Mechanical properties of nanocomposites based on various network precursors (i.e., acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR), ethylene–propilene–diene monomer (EPDM) and its blend (NBR/EPDM) reinforced of nanoalumina) is presented here. The mechanical properties of the elastomeric composites were determined, which can be seen in sample EPDM/NBR/Alumina = 50/50/0.5. For this nanocomposite, maximum tensile strength values and synergism were observed. Hardness and percentage of rebound resilience was increase and decrease by increasing alumina nano particle weight percent, respectively.
