The vulcanizate of this compound showed good physical properties, high electrical conductivities and also complied with Malaysia Standard 1097 [1].
The usage of these electrically conductive tire components readily affected the physical properties of tire tread, such as lowering its elasticity, increasing its rolling resistance and also reducing its wet performance.
At the first stage, ENR based masterbatches with different proportions of hybrid electrical conductive fillers and silicas (accordingly to Table 1) were prepared by using an internal mechanical mixing device (fill factor of 0.70, starting temperature 70oC and rotor’s speed 100 rotations per minute.
Test samples of sulfur-vulcanized ENR based compounds showed some tensile properties values (measured accordingly to the Malaysian Standard, MS ISO 37) as summarized in Figs. 1and 2.

Since there is no cutting tool-workpiece contact during the laser machining process, the mechanical stresses likely causing crack and chipping can be neglected.
It is anticipated that this effect can introduce a mechanical shock to push the laser-molten material away from the irradiated region, thus increasing the amount of material removed.
The ANOVA results for theses two responses show in Table 2 and 3, indicating that the change of the three main factors significantly affected the roughness and HAZ (p-value ≤ 0.05), while their interactions were not statistically significant (p-value > 0.05).
