In this study, two identical groups based on carbon black (CB) filled styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) vulcanisates were prepared by incorporating different proportions (10–50 phr) of treated and untreated rice straw (TRS/ URS) in the SBR composites to examine their effects on some of the demanded properties in rubber applications. Maleic anhydride (MA), as a coupling agent, was added to improve the interfacial bonding between the hydrophilic RS natural fibre and the hydrophobic SBR matrix. The TRS and URS were selectively grinded through a grinding machine to obtain RS fine powder with a selective grain size distribution ranging from about 20–180 μm. Some important physico-mechanical properties of the rubber vulcanisates were studied. The prepared samples were analysed by using X- ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The tensile strength (TS), modulus (M100) and hardness values of TRS filled composites were almost superior compared to the URS ones, and 20 phr of TRS was found to be the optimum filling in SBR vulcanisates and this was obviously revealed through all the mechanical properties results as well as in the percentage swelling findings. The SEM analysis indicates that the presence of MA increases the interfacial interaction between SBR, and the alkali treated rice straw fibres, as well it was found to be in complete agreement with the TS findings. The XRD analysis reveals that the alkaline pretreatment of RS fibres was found to yield a higher crystallinity index for the SBR vulcanisates. The results indicate the potential of using TRS as filler in the rubber industry for cost reduction and raising the environmental credentials of the product.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rubber Research","volume":"27 4","pages":"639 - 652"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we selected one bio-based vegetable oil (FN-B17) as green processing aid for nature rubber (NR) composites and petroleum-based oils (PB-1,2,3,4,5) were also chosen to be investigated for comparison. The plasticisation effects of FN-B17 and other plasticisers on composites were systematically studied. In specific, Mooney viscosity, processing properties and cross-linking characteristics of composites with various kinds of oils were characterised while the mechanical properties and RPA dynamic behaviors were also evaluated. The results indicated that the performance of bio-based oil on processing and mechanical properties of NR composites are similar or even better than that of petroleum-based oils, whereas bio-based oil is renewable with lower cost, which would be cost-effective green processing oil that could replace petroleum-based oil for NR composites.

To improve the damping and mechanical properties simultaneously, a promising method has been proposed to use nanofillers with many different dimensions.

In this study, four nanofillers of different dimensions, namely AO-2246 (0D), carbon nanotubes (CNTs, 1D), sericite (2D), and tetra-needle-like ZnO whiskers (T-ZnOw, 3D), were selected to enhance the properties of millable polyurethane (MPU) matrix. The synergistic enhancement effect was evaluated by analysing the static and dynamic mechanical properties of the composites. Orthogonal test results were used to understand the importance of the four nanofillers and the interactions among them. A multi-index evaluation method based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was established to obtain the optimal gradation of the four fillers to maximise their synergistic enhancement effect. The results showed that the gradation of the different nanofillers was an important factor that had a significant effect on the synergistic enhancement.
