Abstract
The effects of filler loading and size of kenaf fibre on the mechanical properties of kenaf fibre-filled natural rubber latex foam (NRLF) have been studied. The NRLF was prepared by using the Dunlop method. The kenaf fibre was sieved to 97, 144 and 200 µm particle sizes and incorporated into the rubber vulcanizates at 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 part per hundred rubber fibre contents. Increasing kenaf fibre loading in NRLF resulted in the reduction of tensile strength, elongation at break and recovery percentage but increased in modulus at 100% (M100), compression strength, compression set, hardness and foam density. At the same kenaf fibre loading, smaller size of kenaf fibre-filled NRLF showed higher tensile properties, compression strength, compression set and hardness. Scanning electron microscope demonstrated that as kenaf fibre loading and size increased, a larger pore size of NRLF was formed and this led to tensile strength, M100, compression strength and hardness.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
