Abstract
In this study, biodegradability of compounds based on natural rubber filled with different black content and type, has been investigated. By increasing the amount of black reinforcement, the degradation percent decreased. Furthermore, the blends with the smaller filler were less degraded than that of the larger filler at the same amount of black. The unfilled sample (reference) had the highest final degradation and the highest percentage of extracted sole fraction. While the lowest percentage of sole fraction was seen in the compounds filled with highest amount of the black with the greater surface area. In the same amount of black, the compounds filled with the smaller black, showed the lower sole fraction in comparison with compounds containing bigger black particle size.
