Abstract
Different concentrations of bagasse waste with particle sizes 300 nm, 125 nm, 75 nm, and <75nm are incorporated in natural and styrene-butadiene rubber formulations. The rheological characteristics and physico-mechanical properties of the compounded rubber are investigated and determined. The effect of bagasse upon ageing characteristics of corresponding vulcanizates is evaluated. The rubber vulcanizates containing the smallest particle size of bagasse with concentration 30phr showed the best retained values of physico-mechanical properties and equilibrium swelling in comparison with those of conventional fillers (Hisil, calcium carbonate, and High Abrasion Furance carbon black) used in industry. The bagasse with particle size 300 nm and concentration 70 phr showed the least retained values of physico-mechanical properties and equilibrium swelling in comparison with the other investigated particle sizes.
