Abstract:The swelling and mechanical behavior of untreated leather waste particles (buffing dust, BD) in natural rubber have been studied. Mechanical and swelling properties of the natural rubber (NR) composites containing the buffing dust have been discussed. The properties of the composites were found to increase with the increase in filler loading. Polymer composites based on leather wastes as fillers are reported to be useful for many applications such as in construction materials, automobile interior moldings, heat and sound insulating boards, shoe soles, flooring materials and moldings with good anti-static properties, air permeability, and good appearances.

“…Parkinson [24], found that decreasing the particle size of carbon black filler generally enhanced mechanical properties such as tensile and tear strength. According to Hepburn [7], filler with a particle size range of 1000-5000um is classified as a moderate reinforcing filler. Carbonized palm kernel husk is moderate filler.…”

“…These include particle size, particle shape, particle dispersion, surface areas, surface reactivity, structure of the filler and the bonding quality between the fillers and the rubber matrix [6]. Hepburn [7] has pointed out that good reinforcing fillers should possess a small particle size, that is <1000nm, a chemical active surface and a surface which is both porous and very irregular in shape to maximize surface contact between rubber and filler [8]. This article presents results of assessment and utilization of cheaper and low cost carbonized palm kernel husk as filler for the production of rubber products.…”

Palm kernel husk carbon obtained from agricultural waste, were incorporated into natural rubber using a laboratory size two-roll mixing mill. For comparison purposes, commercial reinforcing filler, carbon black (N330) was also used. The effect of these fillers on cure characteristic and physico -mechanical properties of natural rubber materials at various filler loading, ranging from 0-80hpr, was investigated. Curing using a semi-efficient vulcanization was chosen and cure studies were carried out on a Monsanto Rheometer. The results indicated that carbonized palm kernel husk filler caused lower Mooney viscosity, shorter cure time, improved hardness, higher compression set values, but decreased tensile strength and tear strength, but show no significant change in abrasion resistance in comparison with the natural rubber materials. Overall results showed that palm kernel husk carbon can be used as cheaper filler for natural rubber materials where improved physical-mechanical properties are not critical.
