Effects of carburized rice husk powders on physical properties of elastomer based materials

In this study the effects of carburized rice husk (CRH) powders on the mechanical properties of SBR (SBR 1502) / waste rubber type elastomer based materials were investigated. In addition to the calcite and rubber powder fillings in the general composition of a rubber formula used in footwear production, CRH obtained by the Proliz method were added at 5-10-15-20% ratios and new compounds were formed. The hardness, density, wearing rate, breaking strength, percentage elongation amount and tear strength values of the new compounds obtained were compared with both the original formula and with each other. The test results of the new compounds obtained show an increase in hardness, density and wear when compared to the general formula.
