- Abstract
Applying a favorite semi-efficient method, the influences of a typical silane coupling agent, named aminopropyltriethoxy Silane (APTES), on morphology, hardness, and tensile strength behaviors of the natural rubber/silica composite were examined. As a natural-based rubber, the natural rubber (NR) was filled with a reinforcing filler (silica) at a fixed amount, i.e., 30 parts per hundred rubber (phr). As an additive for rubber compounds, the APTES Silane has been incorporated into the NR/silica system with varied amounts such as 1, 3, 5, and 7 phr. The APTES Silane could potentially be used as an agent that improved the degree of filler distribution of silica. The morphology study found that the APTES Silane incorporations produced SEM images with larger matrix tearing and matrix breaking lines; clearly, the APTES Silane caused hardness, modulus, and tensile improvements from 1 to 5 phr of incorporations. The 5 phr of APTES Silane was chosen as the APTES Silane optimum amount.
