Curing characteristics tensile and physical properties of rice straw filled standard Malaysian rubber
Abstract
In this research, the effects of Rice Straw (RS) reinforced Standard Malaysian Rubber (SMRL) on curing characteristics, tensile properties and physical properties were investigated. All compounds were prepared using two roll mill at five different RS loading (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 phr). In addition, two different size of RS, fine size (FS) at 300 μm and coarse size (CS) at 10 mm were used. The properties such as cure characteristics, tensile properties and physical properties were determined. Results indicated that the fine size of RS filled SMRL contributed to the better properties such as tensile, hardness and crosslink density compare to coarser size of RS filled SMRL at same loading.
