Abstract
ABSTRACT In this study, solution grade styrene–butadiene rubber (SSBR) compound was prepared by partial replacement of silica with lignin. The compounds were designed and optimised using an L9 orthogonal array (using Taguchi method) targeting ‘magic triangle’. Cure rate index (CRI), reinforcement index (RI) and hysteresis loss (loss tangent at 60°C) were considered as the responses. Thermo-gravimetric analysis and Differential scanning calorimeter is used to assess thermal degradation and intramolecular reactivity of lignin. Morphological analysis of the composites has instituted the fact that above 20% replacement of synthetic silica by lignin results in re-agglomeration of filler particles due to inferior dispersion. Response analysis through ANOVA coupled with an experimental study on physico-mechanical and dynamic-mechanical properties has manifested that SSBR with 58% vinyl content with 40:10 silica: lignin compounded at 160°C with 10% silane coupling agent (SCA) with respect to silica at factorial levels furnished a ‘magic triangle’ optimised tyre tread compound.
期刊介绍:
Plastics, Rubber and Composites: Macromolecular Engineering provides an international forum for the publication of original, peer-reviewed research on the macromolecular engineering of polymeric and related materials and polymer matrix composites. Modern polymer processing is increasingly focused on macromolecular engineering: the manipulation of structure at the molecular scale to control properties and fitness for purpose of the final component. Intimately linked to this are the objectives of predicting properties in the context of an optimised design and of establishing robust processing routes and process control systems allowing the desired properties to be achieved reliably.
