Preparation and Properties of Spherical Natural Rubber/Silica Composite Powders via Spray Drying
In this work, composite powders of natural rubber/silica (NR-SiO2) were prepared via sol-gel and spray drying method. The morphology and physical properties of resultant rubber composite powders were characterized by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, laser light scattering particle sizer and thermogravimetric analyzer. The results showed that spray-dried NR-SiO2 particles were spherical in shape with diameter of less than 10 μm, with silica on the outer layer. The particle size was found to increase gradually with the increase in NR/Si mass ratio. Marginal growth in particle size was observed with increasing feed flow rate. Increasing inlet air temperature improved the latex particle encapsulation by silica layer while maintaining the final particle size. The mechanical properties of NR-SiO2 powders-filled polylactic acid (PLA) composite increase gradually with the addition of dried particles of higher rubber content. However, the composite exhibited relatively lower or reduced tensile strength and elongation at break compared to the host PLA polymer. This could be attributed to poor filler dispersion associated with weak filler/matrix interaction effect occurring during melt-compounding process.
