    In this work, it is attempted to demonstrate the potential of natural fiber namely pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) as high performance green reinforcement for natural rubber. Liquid carboxylated isoprene rubber was used as an adhesion promoter (AP...) to improve the adhesion between the fiber and the rubber matrix. Three types of fibers, i.e. untreated, sodium hydroxided treated and silane treated, were used. PALF and carbon black were combined to form hybrid reinforcement. Fiber content and carbon black

    applications. Recently our research group has developed a method to extract short and fine PALF from leaf waste. PALF was used to reinforce different types of rubbers to produce rubber composites with very high stretching stress at low elongations. Rubber... reinforcements using hybrid or combination of PALF/silica and PALF/carbon black were also studied and very promising results were obtained. For plastic reinforcement, both PALF and non-fibrous material (NFM) were tested on polypropylene in order to fully utilize

    © 2017 The Royal Society of Chemistry. High performance eco-friendly natural rubber biocomposites filled with 5, 10, 20, and 40 parts per one hundred rubber by weight (phr) of lignin were prepared from sodium lignosulfonate and natural rubber (NR...) latex using the soft processing method. The formation of network-like lignin structures was detected around the rubber phases even when the amount of lignin was increased to 40 phr. The Payne effect clearly suggested the presence of filler-filler

    , and reinforcement, indicating more effective filler-rubber interaction. However, both fillers exhibited lower reinforcing efficiency than carbon black (CB), mainly due to their larger particle sizes. Tensile strength peaked at 20 phr for PS (20 MPa), about 11 and 22...This study investigates Cassia bakeriana (PS) and Cassia fistula (GS) pod powders as sustainable biofillers for natural rubber (NR), aiming to offer eco-friendly alternatives to conventional fillers. The powders were characterized and incorporated

    Properties of Natural Rubber Reinforced by Carbon Black-based Hybrid Fillers
    (2014-01-01) Puchong Thaptong; Chakrit Sirisinha; Uthai Thepsuwan; Pongdhorn Sae-Oui; Thailand National Metal and Materials Technology Center; Mahidol University
    Properties of natural rubber (NR) filled with hybrid fillers were compared. Loading of the primary filler, carbon black (CB), was fixed whereas that of the secondary fillers, carbon nanotube (CNT) and conductive carbon black (CCB), was varied

    Prediction of heat build-up behaviour under high load by use of conventional viscoelastic results in carbon black filled hydrogenated nitrile rubber
    (2011-06-01) P. Wongwitthayakool; P. Saeoui; C. Sirisinha; Mahidol University; Thailand National Metal and Materials Technology Center
    Viscoelastic and heat build-up (HBU) properties of hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber filled with various loadings and characteristics of carbon black were determined using RPA2000 and Gabometer 4000 flexometer equipped with high load cell... respectively. A correlation of the viscoelastic results measured routinely with the HBU results is drawn. Reinforcement mechanism is proposed as an interplay of hydrodynamic effect, filler transient network, molecular slippage and cross-link density

    Effect of blend ratio on aging, oil and ozone resistance of silica-filled chloroprene rubber/natural rubber (CR/NR) blends
    (2007-01-01) P. Sae-oui; C. Sirisinha; K. Hatthapanit; Thailand National Metal and Materials Technology Center; Mahidol University
    The effect of blend ratio on properties of chloroprene rubber/natural rubber (CR/NR) blends was investigated. In addition to the mechanical properties, attention was also given to the resistance to thermal aging, oil and ozone of the blends. Silica... was selected as a reinforcing filler in this study due to its unique characteristic to interact with CR. The results reveal that, due to the better filler dispersion and the greater crosslink density, the silica-filled CR possesses lower compound viscosity
