Abstract
Studies were conducted on the effects of filler loading and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (SCA) on the physical characteristics of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR)-alumina nanoparticles composites (ENRAN). The filler loading varied from 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 phr in the absence and presence of 2 phr SCA in every formulation. The alumina nanoparticles have a positive interaction with the ENR matrix since they increase the glass transition temperature of the composites [Mohamad, N., Muchtar, A., Ghazali, M.J., Dahlan, H.M. and Azhari, C.H. (2008). The Effect of Filler on Epoxidized Natural Rubber-Alumina Nanoparticles Composites, Eur. J. Sci. Res., 24: 538—547]. The addition of SCA decreased the maximum torque (MH) and the torque difference (MH-ML) of ENRANs compound as well as causing the curing process to occur at a very fast rate. The spherical alumina particles were dispersed in ENR matrix and a uniform particle distribution was observed under scanning electron microscope enabling the increase of the torque values in the composites.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Elastomers and Plastics is a high quality peer-reviewed journal which publishes original research on the development and marketing of elastomers and plastics and the area in between where the characteristics of both extremes are apparent. The journal covers: advances in chemistry, processing, properties and applications; new information on thermoplastic elastomers, reinforced elastomers, natural rubbers, blends and alloys, and fillers and additives.
