A comparative study was performed of fly ash and nano‐CaCO 3 as fillers in polybutadiene rubber with 0, 4, 8 and 12% fly ash and nano‐CaCO 3 . Uniform sheets were prepared of well‐compounded rubber. Nano‐CaCO 3 was synthesized by in situ deposition. The CaCO 3 nanoparticles as reinforcing agents improved the tensile strength more than 50% than fly ash, and the toughness and hardness also increased significantly. Up to a 75% reduction in flammability and a 100% improvement in the tear strength were observed with nano‐CaCO 3 .© 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 96: 6–9, 2005
