Effect of 〖TiO〗_2 on the mechanical properties of natural rubber (SMR 30) and X-Ray penetration resistance.

Abstract

The natural rubber (SMR 30) was reinforced with micro particle powder TiO 2 with different ratio of (20 -100) pphr also study the effect of TiO 2 on mechanical properties in different ratio. The tensile, modulus and hardness was increasing while elongation was decreasing. X-Ray penetration resistance for the sample of rubber composite with TiO 2 at (100) pphr was week at 20 KV so the TiO 2 was giving the composite rubber white color.
