This study focuses on the production of nylon-reinforced natural rubber composites. In general, technical textiles serve as reinforcement and strength materials for a wide range of applications in rubber/textile composites. The adhesion between rubber and nylon is the most important factor affecting the assembly process and the strength of the finished product. The results showed that natural rubber reinforced with nylon textiles can be efficiently prepared by splicing a single layer of nylon fabric between two layers of rubber. The nylon textile-reinforced natural rubber composite was characterized by tensile testing machines and rubber curing characteristics, etc. The main result showed that the mechanical properties of rubber/nylon composites were higher than those of pure rubber. From the experimental results, it was found that nylon fabric can strengthen the natural rubber composite material for use with car tires.
