Diffusion of Biodiesel in Rubber and the Resulting Mechanical Response under Cyclic Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

The benefits of biodiesel to the economy and the environment have motivated increasing interest among researchers to study the feasible utilization of this fuel. The majority of the research focuses on the production of biodiesel and the simple compatibility tests of the engine components with biodiesel. The effect of palm biodiesel diffusion on the mechanical responses of swollen rubber is rarely explored. This paper describes a simple experimental procedure to conduct a stress free diffusion test. Moreover, the mechanical responses are evaluated.
