This research aimed to develop the formulation of natural rubber filled with carbon black, silica and calcium carbonate for rubber calf nipple application. The reverse engineering was performed on the calf nipple product to analyze the rubber type and component by using Soxhlet extraction, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. Furthermore, mechanical properties were examined to act as benchmark for the rubber compound design. The results showed that rubber component in the nipple product was natural rubber, whereas two filler types revealed as carbon black and calcium carbonate with 10 and 35 of the total weight. In addition, rubber nipple showed the hardness of 46±1 Shore A and tensile strength of 5.3±0.60 MPa. From the investigation of the properties of developed rubber compounds in this work, it was found that the mechanical properties depended on type and content of filler. The required mechanical properties of vulcanizates were achieved at 20 phr of carbon black (N330), 20 phr of silica and 120 phr of calcium carbonate.

The present research aimed to develop natural rubber (NR) hybrid composites reinforced with calcium carbonate/carbon black (CC/CB) and calcium carbonate/silica (CC/SC). The influence of CC/CB and CC/SC with various filler ratios (120/0, 90/5, 60/10, 30/15 and 0/20) on cure characteristics and mechanical properties of the vulcanizates was investigated and their reinforcing efficiency was compared. It has been found that incorporation of CB in the hybrid filler decreases the scorch time and cure time but increases crosslink density, whereas the incorporation of silica showed cure retardation. As CB or SC content increases, stiffness, tensile strength and tear strength increase, while elongation at break and compression set decrease. Scanning electron microscopy studies also reveal poor filler dispersion and poor adhesion between filler particles and matrix in the vulcanizates with increasing in CC content in a weight filler ratio which causes inferior mechanical properties. Incorporation of CB or SC content enhanced the mechanical properties of the vulcanizates, where CC/CB hybrid system exhibited higher reinforcing efficiency compared with CC/SC hybrid system.

Molasses is an inexpensive byproduct made during the extraction of sugars from sugarcane. Viscous molasses was converted to powder form under heating process. Molasses black (MB), mainly consisting of carbon, was finally obtained. As a result of elemental analyzer, it is evident that MB containing 56.13 % of carbon. Additionally, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR) result confirmed that function groups of MB were comparable with carbon black (CB). Nevertheless, the large particle size and low specific surface area of MB was less effective for reinforcement. Therefore, in this research, a feasibility study was carried out on the utilization of MB together with carbon black as hybrid filler in natural rubber (NR). Reinforcement of NR with MB/CB hybrid filler at various ratios was studied. The total hybrid filler content was 30 parts per hundred of rubber (phr). The mechanical properties were determined. The results revealed that the NR vulcanizates containing hybrid filler exhibited the better reinforcement than that filled with single MB filler.

The effect of a silane coupling on curing characteristics, mechanical properties, abrasion behavior and swelling behavior of waste silicon carbide filled natural rubber compounds was investigated in the concentration 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% and 15% by weight of the particles. The waste silicon carbide content in this study was fixed at 30 phr in order to reveal the influence of silane-69 used to modify silicon carbide. The rubber compounds were prepared using a laboratory two roll mill with temperature maintained at 50°C. The curing characteristics of the composites were determined and the composites were vulcanized at 160°C using a hot press. The properties of the natural rubber compounds such as modulus at 200% elongation, stress at peak, hardness, abrasion resistance and swelling behavior were studied. Results indicate that the maximum torque of the natural rubber compounds increased with increasing silane-69 content whereas the silane-69 can be used without much effect on the scorch time and cure time. Increasing silane-69 content also gives natural rubber compounds better resistance towards swelling and increases the modulus at 200% elongation, tensile strength, hardness and abrasion resistance. The dispersion morphology of silicon carbide in the natural rubber composites was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The modified particles with improved interfacial adhesion between waste silicon carbide and natural rubber. Improvement in mechanical properties of the composites was obtained.
