Electromechanical-Conductive Natural Rubber Doped Eggshell and Eggshell Membrane for Drug Delivery and Actuator Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

Natural rubber composite materials were prepared by using sulfur curing system of STR 5L added with hen eggshell and eggshell membrane to increase electrical and mechanical properties for biomimetic actuator and artificial muscle applications. Samples were vulcanized at temperature 150°C. Hen eggshells and eggshell membrane powder (0, 20, 40, and 60 phr) were added into natural rubber. The main composition of hen eggshells composed of 96.35 wt% calcium carbonate (CaCO3) while mostly composition of hen eggshell membrane is fibrous protein in terms of collagen. The best condition is addition of eggshell 40 phr (formula 3) and eggshell membrane 20 phr (formula 5) to obtain the highest storage modulus response equal to 2.85 x 106 and 2.97 x106 Pa, respectively. The curing time (Tc90) of pure natural rubber (formula 1), formula 3, and formula 5 are 8.22, 6.73, and 5.67 min, respectively. Furthermore, the curing time, rheology, and electrical field response of natural rubber composite materials were measured by moving die rheometer and impedance analyzer, and reported here.
