Experimental and Modeling Study on the Curing Properties of Natural Rubber Composites Filled with Varying Proportions of Carbon Black, Modified Bentonite and Raw Bentonite

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of replacing carbon black (CB) with inexpensive and environmentally friendly fillers – bentonite (BNT) and modified bentonite (M-BNT), on the curing properties of natural rubber (NR) composites. A control sample (unfilled NR) and thirteen NR composites filled with varied proportions of CB (x₁), M-BNT (x₂), and BNT (x₃) based on a third degree – simplex lattice mixture design of experiment (DOE) were prepared in this study. Rheometric results showed that 33% substitution of CB with M-BNT provides the highest elastic torque values. Mixture of 10phr CB and 5phr M-BNT (CB/M-BNT/BNT 10/5/0) produces synergistic effect on curing. The presence of CB increases vulcanization rate due to its high basicity and low oxygen content while M-BNT serves as vulcanizing accelerator due to the present amine groups. Coefficients of reduced hierarchical models showed that the main factors contributed mainly on the curing parameters: β₁ for the torque values, β₂ for the scorch and curing time, and β₃ for CRI. High values of coefficient of determination (r²) were computed particularly for M_H (98.20%), ΔS (99.13%), t_s2(95.68%), t_c90(95.70%) and CRI (95.97%) establishing best fit between the model and experimental values.
