“…Bagasse fiber is one of natural fibers made from by-product of sugar cane industry. There have been a number of researches exploring the use of bagasse fiber to reinforce natural rubber [1][2][3]. They found that the addition of bagasse fiber in natural rubber matrix improved tensile strength and barrier properties and increased rate of degradation of the rubber in soil.…”

Abstract. Biocomposite based on natural rubber (NR) and bagasse nanocellulose (BNC) was prepared in latex state. The mechanical, morphological and thermal properties of NR/BNC biocomposite were investigated. It was found that the addition of 3 wt% of BNC in NR film caused significant increase in modulus at 100% and 300% elongations and improved thermal stability of NR/BNC biocomposite. However, the strength at break and elongation at break of the biocomposite were not enhanced correlating to the morphological result obtained from scanning electron microscope (SEM).

“…Actually, not few lectures have reported the application of cellulose in rubber. Since Favier and co-workers [3] firstly reinforced rubber latex with nano-scale cellulose, lots of researches have managed to extract cellulose from nature, namely, rattan [4], bagasse [5], cassava [6], kenaf [7], sisal [8], oil palm [9] etc., and to apply as the reinforcing agent in rubber. Results show that cellulose reinforces the rubber latex effectively.…”

Abstract.A series of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) reinforced natural rubber/butadiene rubber/styrene-butadiene rubber (NR/BR/SBR) blends were prepared via mastication of NR/NCC, BR/SBR and other ingredients. Resorcinol and hexamethylene tetramine (RH) was adopted to modify the interface between NCC and rubber matrix. The morphology, dynamic viscoelastic behavior, apparent crosslink density, mechanical performance and dynamic mechanical property of NR/BR/SBR/NCC blends were discussed in detail. The results showed that NCC was uniformly dispersed in composites and RH could enhance the adhesion of NCC and matrix. According to the dynamic mechanical analysis, NCC performed comparable reinforcing effect with carbon black (CB), and the modulus was improved with modification of RH. Mechanical tests showed that the replacement of CB by NCC in the blends did not deteriorate mechanical properties of composites. Besides, the blends exhibited best mechanical properties, when 10 phr NCC substituted CB.

“…The magnitude and area of the tan δ peak decreases upon filler addition (Figure 1b). This was associated with the concomitant decrease in the E' drop, and this was responsible for the damping properties [20] . This behavior indicates that the filler (WSH 30 ) partially supports the tension applied on the composite, allowing only one part of this tension might deform the filler/matrix interface.…”

Abstract:In this work, the effects of incorporating cellulose nanocrystals from soy hulls (WSH 30 ) on the mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of methylcellulose (MC) nanocomposites were evaluated. MC/WSH 30 nanocomposite films with different filler levels (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10%) were prepared by casting. Compared to neat MC film, improvements in the mechanical and barrier properties were observed, while thermal stability was retained. The improved mechanical properties of nanocomposites prepared may be attributed to mechanical percolation of WSH 30 , formation of a continuous network of WSH 30 linked by hydrogen interactions and a close association between filler and matrix.
