The study aimed to determine the effect of the addition of carbon black (CB) and Palm Empty Bunch Powder (OPBEP) as a filler in natural rubber compounds on thermal and transmittance properties. The composting method is done at the Open mill. The process of mixing natural rubber with additives, curative agents, activators, accelerator materials and nano OPBEP and CB with variations (0;2; 4; 6; 8)% wt. The results of the study were obtained. FTIR results from coumpound with CB and OPBEP fillers as a whole showed almost the same results. This is due to modifications so there is a possibility of overlapping with uptake on other bands. There is a peak of 2912 C – H asymmetric symmetric stretching vibrations of octadecylamine, respectively. Bending vibration of C – H in the = CH group of 3,4- or 1,2-units. The thermal properties of the DSC thermogram obtained an increase in the melting point and cross-linking with an increase in the content of the OPBA element compared with no filler as well as the CB / filler. In general, a compound with OPBEP filler and CB can be used as a technical product that has more mechanical properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
