摘要
In the present study, rice husks filled styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)/linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) 50/50 blends with a compatibilizer, maleic anhydride (MAH) were prepared using a brabender plasti-corder. Virgin SBR/LLDPE blend was also prepared. The physico-mechanical as well as dielectric properties were investigated. Increasing MAH concentrations in SBR/LLDPE blends resulted in an increase in the tensile strength, elongation at break and hardness. After a certain concentration (2.5 phr), a reduction in these properties was found. On the other hand an increase in the dielectric properties as well as in the mass swell in both toluene and oil with MAH was noticed. After certain concentration of rice husk filler (25 phr) an abrupt increase in permittivity epsilon' and dielectric loss epsilon '' was obtained. These results are supported by the mechanical properties measurements. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicates that the presence of MAH increases the interfacial interaction between SBR/LLDPE blends on one hand and also rice husk filler and the blend on the other hand.
