Effect of Gamma Radiation on Some Properties of Natural Rubber Mixed with Graphene Oxide as a Novel Filler

Tanrada Massem, Manit Jitpukdee

Abstract


This study was focused on the effect of gamma radiation and graphene oxide which was affected to mechanical properties, swelling resistance in oil and thermal aging resistance properties of natural rubber film. Natural rubber film was prepared from natural rubber latex with treated by gamma radiation dose 20, 40, 60 and 80 kGy and mixed with 0, 1, 3 and 5 g of graphene oxide synthesis according by Hummers method. The natural rubbers were vulcanization by using gamma irradiation showed the result of crosslinking within the molecule. Gamma irradiation at 60 kGy was increased the properties of natural rubber film, such as tensile strength, tear strength and thermal aging resistance, while the swelling resistance in oil was highest increased at 80 kGy. The tensile strength, tear strength and thermal aging resistance were increased when add 3 g of graphene oxide in the rubber film. While added 5 g of graphene oxide, the tensile strength after aging was increased and higher than the tensile strength before aging. The rubber film has excellent heat-resistant properties.
