Carbon Black Nanocomposites
Carbon black is perhaps one of the oldest nanoparticles, used in materials. One of the earliest is carbon black in rubber. The early rubber used by indians was cured in the smoke from a fire, turning the rubber black. Very likely that blackness was from soot which is largely carbon black. (RDC 5/2/2009)
