Abstract
Curing characteristics, mechanical properties, swelling behaviour and morphology of kaolin filled natural rubber (SMR L) and epoxidized natural rubber (ENR 50) compounds were studied. The effects of kaolin and commercial silica (Vulkasil C) loading, different size of kaolin and the use of silane coupling agent, Si 69 and palm oil fatty acid additive (POFA) in SMR L compounds were also examined. Results show that kaolin filled SMR L compounds exhibit better mechanical properties but longer scorch and curing times than kaolin filled ENR 50 compounds. At a similar filler loading, silica filled SMR L compounds showed better curing characteristics and mechanical properties than kaolin filled SMR L compounds. Smaller particle size of kaolin also gives shorter curing time, higher maximum torque and better mechanical properties than larger particle size of kaolin in SMR L compounds. The use of silane coupling agent, Si 69 and POFA has improved the curing characteristics and mechanical properties of SMR L compounds. The improvement of these properties was due to the better kaolin – SMR L interaction.
