    Reinforcement of Natural Rubber with Sisal/Sugarcane Hybrid Nanofiller

    By OBOH JOHNSOH OSEGHALE, Ibrahim A.M, Eli musa, Patrick B.T., Okele I.A.

    Abstract: AbstractNatural fibres are attracting attention from researchers for the manufacture of polymer composites due to their eco-friendly nature and sustainability. The hybrid effects of Sisal/sugarcane Bagasse based nanofiller on the physico-mechanical properties of natural rubber matrix have been investigated. In the experiment, nanofiller were prepared from alkaline-peroxide treated sisal fibre and sugarcane bagasse through shear and friction homogenization. The nanofiller were hybridized using a single ordinate loading of 30 parts …

    ISOLATION OF CELLULOSIC NANOPARTICLES FROM COIR FIBRE FOR THE PREPARATION OF NATURAL RUBBER COMPOSITES

    By OBOH JOHNSOH OSEGHALE

    Abstract: Coir fibre and natural rubber are renewable and sustainable agro-resources that can be harnessed for the production of finished rubber articles on industrial scale. In this research, coir fibres extracted from coconut husk were subjected to alkaline-peroxide delignification. The delignified fibres were further transformed into coir fibre cellulosic nanoparticles (CFNP) with particle size distribution of 68–311 nm and a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.371 through friction homogenization. These particles were …
