Abstract
This research is conducted using palm kernel shell powder (PKS) as filler in natural rubber The effect of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane as coupling agent on composites were studied at different palm kernel shell loading i.e, 0 5, 10, 15 and 20 phr The palm kernel shell was crushed and sieved to an average particle size of 5.53 μm The palm kernel shell filled natural rubber composites were prepared using laboratory size two roll mill The curing characteristics such as scorch time, cure time and maximum torque were obtained from rheometer The palm kernel shell powder filled natural rubber composites were cured at 150oC using hot press according to their cure time Curing characteristics, tensile properties, rubber-filler interaction and morphological properties of palm kernel shell powder filled natural rubber were studied Scorch time and cure time show reduction but tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus at 100% (M100) and modulus at 300% (M300) increased with the presence of 3-aminopropyltrimethyloxysilane Rubber-filler interaction studies showed that rubber filler interaction in natural rubber filled with palm kernel shell powder improved with incorporation of 3-aminopropyltrimethyoxysilane.
