We know that Taguchi method is popular for predicting various optimum parameters by conducting only a small number of simulation experiments. Orthogonal experimental design and analysis technique are used in this method to predict optimum parameters theoretically. In this research we used Taguchi method for optimization of mechanical properties of nitrile rubber based nanocomposites. Tensile strength and Mooney viscosity being the most important properties of rubber products, were selected for optimization (condition kept was higher the better). Variable for experiments were Nano clay, precipitated silica and ionic liquid in varied combination. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to identify the significant factors affecting the response and the best possible factor level combination was determined.
