**Abstract**
 This article reports on the synthesis of elastomer/expanded graphite nanocomposites by melt mixing. The properties of the resulting nanocomposites and the nanoscale dispersion of the graphite sheets within a NBR matrix are investigated and discussed. The mechanical properties of the NBR/EG nanocomposites showed a remarkable improvement in tensile strength, it is reported. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the expanded graphite imparted a higher storage modulus and lower glass transition temperature to the NBR matrix. The expanded graphite was also shown to be effective in increasing the electrical conductivity of the composites. 16 refs.
