Sensitivity analysis: A tool for tailoring environmentally friendly materials

In this article, we examine the use of sensitivity analysis for optimization selected physical properties in rubber compounds and determine objective criteria which allow reduction environmental load during compound production. The shows how significantly each input value affects output value, response graphs express effect parameter on value. solutions described article are applicable to other production technologies. We present a based prediction mechanical mixtures composed Standard Malaysian Rubber (SMR). Two blends were pre- pared by mixing SMR oleic acid different concentrations surfactant (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 20, 30 wt%). Tensile strength Rm moduli M100, M200, M300 measured evaluated. showed significance certain ingredients affect properties.
