Abstract

One of the most important phenomena in rubber science is the reinforcement by rigid entities such as carbon black clays silicates and calcium carbonate. Thus these fillers are added to rubber formulations to optimise properties that meet a given service application or a set of performance parameters. In this study it was observed that the degree of reinforcement by addition of fillers depended on the filler characteristics which in turn affected the strength of the rubber: filler interaction. The two main filler characteristics that affected reinforcement were the filler particle size and surface activity. The reinforcing effect of starch was considerably lower than that of carbon black due to its large particle size and its low dispersive component of surface energy.
