Effect of Drying Time on Mechanical Properties of Natural Rubber Products Filled with Modified Kaolin Prepared from Latex Dipping

Article Preview

Abstract:

Alkanolamide-modifed kaolin was added into natural rubber latex (NRL) pre-vulcanization system at 70°C and the products were formed into films by coagulant dipping method. The dipped films then were dried at 120°C for 15 and 30 min. The effect of drying time on properties of NRL films such as crosslink density, tensile strength, tensile modulus, and elongation at break was observed in this study. Results showed that longer drying time improved the properties of NRL films due to the additional formation of crosslink process in the NRL films. The longer drying time swelled the particles more in matrix as confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) micrograph.
