The effect of carbon black loadings on tensile strength of rubber vulcanizates

In this study, the effect of filler loadings (carbon black) on the tensile strength of SMR 10 was investigated. The carbon black grade was chosen N220 and the loading ranges were set 20, 40, 50, and 60 parts per hundred rubbers (phr). For the mixing and moulding process, the Two Roll Mill (Model LS-...

Description
Summary:In this study, the effect of filler loadings (carbon black) on the tensile strength of SMR 10 was investigated. The carbon black grade was chosen N220 and the loading ranges were set 20, 40, 50, and 60 parts per hundred rubbers (phr). For the mixing and moulding process, the Two Roll Mill (Model LS-22005) and 25 Ton Hot Cold Molding Press (Model LS22025) was used which is supplied by Lotus Scientific. In order to determine the tensile strength values, a Universal Testing Machine (Model 133004600771) operating at 20 mm/min was used. It was found that the tensile strength increase with the increasing of carbon black loading until it reaches at the maximum interphase interaction between the polymer chains and filler. This observation is attributed to the rubber–filler interphase interaction of carbon black and rubber.
