Effect of high loading of titanium dioxide particles on the morphology, mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties of the natural rubber-based composites

Abstract

loss (higher dissipation of energy) during the mechanical work of material and higher cross-link density of the prepared materials.

A comparative study on selective properties of Kraft lignin–natural rubber composites containing different plasticizers

“…The addition of lignin caused to reduce the elasticity due to the high hardness of the filler, which hindered the material deformation. Datta and co-workers [31] indicated the similar results.…”

“…The strong Fig. 1 a FTIR spectra of the composites with the use of glycerolysate as plasticizer, pure glycerolysate, natural rubber, and lignin; and b FTIR spectra of the samples with the use of naphthenic oil, pure naphthenic oil, natural rubber, and lignin peaks at 2960, 2917, and 2850 cm −1 belong to the methylene groups -CH 2 symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations [29,31] primarily from natural rubber macromolecules but also from glycerolysate and lignin particles. In the kraft lignin curves in Fig.…”

The Effect of Polyurethane Glycolysate on the Structure and Properties of Natural Rubber/Carbon Black Composites

“…The other swelling parameters, i.e., swelling ratio (SR), volume fraction of the rubber network in the swollen phase (V r ) and average molecular weight of the polymer between cross-links (M c ) were also determined and presented. The test method and determination of all mentioned parameters is the same as presented in our earlier work [24]. Measurements was realized in toluene (the Flory-Huggins natural rubber-toluene interaction constant is equal 0.38) and obtained results are averages from three independent tests.…”

Functional Carbon Materials Derived through Hypergolic Reactions at Ambient Conditions

“…C-GLOVE also contained several other inorganic phases originating from the nitrile glove. Hence, we could additionally identify the presence of clay (layered silicate) and titania fillers, the latter being added in the glove for mechanical reinforcement and protection against thermal or light degradation [12,13]. Titanium was also qualitatively detected in the glove by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis.…”
