Silica nanoparticles were synthesized by rice husk ash (RHA) produced from jasmine rice husk and riceberry rice husk via sol-gel method for the use as reinforcing fillers in natural rubber (NR). The obtained silica nanoparticles are spherical in shape and the particle sizes were observed to be in the 10-20 nm range with uniformly size distribution. The surface of silica nanoparticles was treated with a silane coupling agent confirmed by FTIR. The treated silica nanoparticles were then incorporated into NR and vulcanized with electron beam irradiation. The rubber nanocomposites with silica nanoparticles, produced from jasmine rice husk and riceberry rice husk, resulted in higher mechanical properties (tensile strength and modulus) than neat rubber vulcanizate. The modified rubber vulcanizates revealed rougher surface with tear lines as compared to the neat rubber vulcanizates, indicating the improved strength. Interestingly, the rubber nanocomposites with silica nanoparticles from jasmine rice husk showed higher tensile strength and modulus than silica nanoparticles produced from riceberry rice husk. The micrographs indicated better dispersion of NR composites with jasmine rice husk which leads to a strong interaction between silica nanoparticles and rubber matrix, thereby improving the strength.

ABSTRACTNanocomposites of α-hydroxy polyester, polylactide (PLA) and β-hydroxy polyester, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) with layered silicates have been successfully prepared by melt extrusion of PLA and PHB with organically modified montmorillonite (MMT) and fluoromica. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposites are improved compared to the neat polymers. Storage modulus increase up to 40% compared with the pure polymers by adding only 2–3 wt% nanoclay. Biodegradation can be controlled by the choice of the nanoclay used.

Abstract The present work deals with effect of vulcanization temperature on the polymer-filler interaction parameter, vulcanizate structure, and the technical properties of efficiently vulcanized natural rubber stocks in the presence of different fillers. We have used carbon blacks of four different particle sizes (ISAF, HAF, SRF, FT), reinforcing silica, and whiting. In the case of black fillers, as the particle size increases, reversion resistance increases. For all fillers, an increase of curing temperature from 150 to 180°C caused a reduction in strength, modulus, hardness, resilience; and an increase in elongation at break, compression set, and heat build-up. However, the flexing properties and abrasion loss showed improvement at higher curing temperature. Kraus' plots indicate that increase of curing temperature caused reduction in polymer-filler attachment. At both curing temperatures, the activity of fillers follow the order, ISAF > HAF > SRF > FT. Silica showed erratic behavior in that Kraus plots indicate nonreinforcement by the filler. Whiting also behaved abnormally with respect to Kraus plots; at lower filler loading, the system is nonadherent, becoming weakly adherent at higher concentrations. The abnormal behavior of silica-filled compounds has been explained on the basis of a reaction on the silica surface between silanol groups and zinc stearate. Westlinning and Wolff's αF values were found to be independent of curing temperature and characteristic of fillers only (the larger the particle size, the lower is the αF value). The increase in apparent crosslinking density in the case of reinforcing fillers is due to increased υr arising out of increased polymer-filler interaction. Therefore, the sulfur inefficiency parameters (E values) and zinc sulfide efficiency parameters (F values) become less significant in filled vulcanizates.
