Abstract:In this research, the comparative studies on solubility and thermodynamics properties of natural rubber vulcanizates filled with blends of activated palm kernel shell and carbonized palm kernel shell has been investigated. Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) was locally sourced. washed and sun dried to remove accompanying and moisture. The PKS was then pulverized to particle size, carbonized at 600°C for one hour (1hr) using Carbolite furnaces and chemically activated using 0.1M H 3 PO 4 and 0.1M KOH solutions. The NR-fil… Show more
