Studying the physical and mechanical properties of Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber / carbon / clinke

Abstract

This research studies the effect of adding the clinker as a filling material on the properties of Acrylonitrilebutadiene rubber NBR ،by means of preparing rubber blends containing different percentage (0,5,10,15,20 Phr) of theclinker (Semi made-cement) ،on two roll mill. Physio -mechanical and chemical properties of the prepared blends weredescribed by testing them for tensile strength and abrasion resistance, values of hardness and swelling in differentsolvents. Results revealed a decrease in the tension resistance for rubber blends c/k at the percentage of 45% withincrease of the percentage of the clinker added with the above mentioned rubber blends ,Also ,values of hardnessdecreased direct proportional at a percentage of 19% with increasing the clinker ,percentage whereas, the frictionresistance decreased at a percentage of 254% with increasing the clinker percentage ,but according to elongation ,theresults were quite different from the previous results so that its percentage increased when cutting gradually with thevalue of 266%when percentage of added clinker increased. Results of the study also, revealed that swelling of thesamples containing only the black carbon (C45K0) was low comparing with the samples containing the clinker.
