The Effects of Bagasse Fiber Loading on the Mechanical Properties of Skim NR–Clay Nanocomposites

Article Preview

Abstract:

Skim natural rubber (NR)–clay nanocomposites were prepared by a coagulation method using the organoclays Cloisite 15A, Cloisite 20A and Cloisite 30B. This work investigated the use of bagasse fiber developed from locally sourced and renewable material as an alternative and/or secondary filler in skim NR–clay nanocomposites. Bagasse fiber loading in the nanocomposites was 0, 5, 10 and 20 phr; the effects of fiber content on cure characteristics and mechanical properties were then determined. The results suggest that the Mooney viscosity tended to increase with increasing fiber content, whereas the cure time at 90% and fatigue testing score decreased as fiber loading increased.
