Abstract Rubber blending has been widely used to improve various properties in finished rubber products. The purpose of this paper is investigate the effect filler size, type, concentration, and surface treatment on mechanical, swelling, dielectric, morphology ethylene propylene diene (EPDM)/styrene-butadiene (SBR) blend nanocomposites filled with alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles. Bis-(3-(trie...

The influences of nanosilica and modified on cure, compression set, mechanical swelling characteristics are studied in blends ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM)/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). In EPDM/SBR composites, the made from rice husk ash (RHA) was utilised as a reinforcing nanofiller. interaction between matrix at interface is crucial for production composites. This study uses bis[3...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the various roles 1,3-DiPhenyl Guanidine (DPG) in silica-reinforced rubber compounds. Two DPG are well known be: adsorption onto silica surface reduce acidic sites and second boost silanization reaction as secondary accelerator. However, these two a way conflicting. When molecules occupy reactive silanol on by adsorption, then access silane needed for silic...

Suberin is a natural polyester providing the impermeability and mechanical damping of plant cell walls. It fascinating because ester bonds in suberin can be easily hydrolyzed to provide various functional chemical precursors for further applications. This study investigates an unprecedented way tailor energy-absorbing capabilities silica-reinforced styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites by i...

Natural rubber (NR) and halloysite nanotube (HNT) composites are known to perform poorly due polarity differences between the two components. As such, many extant studies have attempted increase their compatibility. Therefore, this study introduced epoxidized natural (ENR) together with silane coupling agents into composite ensure rubber-filler interactions. Four different silanes namely bis-[(...
