Effect of Methyl Methacrylate Content in Carbon Black Filled Natural Rubber Compounds

Abstract:

Natural rubber-grafted-poly(methyl methacrylate) containing 30 and 50 percent of methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer per 100 parts by weight of the dry rubber content denoted as NR-g-PMMA 30 and NR-g-PMMA 50, respectively were prepared via emulsion polymerisation technique. The occurrences of graft copolymerisation of PMMA onto NR were confirmed by proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) following purifications. The reinforcement of rubber by fillers is of great practical and technical importance. Thus, these fillers are added to rubber formulations to optimize the properties to meet a given application or set of performance parameters. In this study, the effect of carbon black in NR-g-PMMA 30 and NR-g-PMMA 50 rubber compounds were evaluated. Our results demonstrated that tensile strength, elongation at break and compression set reduced, while the hardness and solvent resistance increased in the presence of carbon black filler in comparison to the unfilled compound.
