Natural
rubber-Bromobutyl rubber (BIIR-NR) composites containing 25Phr carbon black was
fabricated by melt blending on a two-roll open mill. Electron microscopy with
field emission scanning was used to assess the dispersion of CB in the BIIR-NR
matrix (FESEM). When compared to BIIR-NR gum, the produced composites showed a
notable improvement in mechanical characteristics. BIIR-NR composites showed
improvements in stress at rupture, modulus at 100% strain, hardness, tear
resistance and abrasion resistance of 34%, 166%, 45%, 134%, and 10%, respectively.
According to FESEM, this notable improvement can be attributed to the
homogeneous distribution of CB in the BIIR-NR matrix.
