Abstract
The effects of acetylation and bonding agent on thermal ageing, γ-radiation and ozone resistance of short sisal fibre reinforced natural rubber composites have been evaluated. At high fibre loadings the composites showed better resistance to ageing, especially in the presence of bonding agent. Acetylation of fibre and fibre orientation were also found to reduce the extent of degradation. The dosage of γ-radiation was found to influence the extent of the retention/degradation process.
