Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh suhu vulkanisasi terhadap sifat mekanis dan kinetika vulkanisasi komposit NBR. Formulasi komposit menggunakan dua macam carbon black yaitu N-330 dan N-774. Kinetika vulkanisasi ditentukan dengan alat Moving Die Rheometer, dimana proses vulkanisasi berlangsung dikaitkan dengan torsi dan waktu. Proses pembuatan vulkanisat menggunakan hydraulic press pada suhu 150ºC dan 160ºC. Sifat mekanis komposit NBR yang diamati adalah tegangan putus, perpanjangan putus, kekerasan dan kuat sobek. Kinetika vulkanisasi didekati dengan persamaan Arrhenius dikaitkan dengan mekanisme reaksi dan diasumsikan orde satu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinetika vulkanisasi dapat didekati dengan persamaan dari data reometer. Surface area carbon black sangat kuat mempengaruhi sifat mekanis dan rate constant (k) dari komposit NBR. Carbon black N 330 merupakan bahan pengisi yang bersifat sebagai penguat dan memberikan sifat mekanis tertinggi dibandingkan carbon black jenis lainnya. ......The aim of this research was to study the effect of vulcanization temperature on mechanical properties and curing kinetics of NBR composites. The composites were formulated by using two types of carbon black i.e. N-330 and N-774. The curing kinetics was determined using Moving Die Rheometer. The network formation processes were related to torque and time. The vulcanizates were obtained by compression molding in a hydraulic press at 150°C and 160°C. The mechanical properties observed include tensile strength, elongation at break, hardness, and tear strength. Kinetics studies were approached by Arrhenius equation and the reaction mechanism was assumed following first order reaction. The results showed that curing kinetics can be approached by the equation from the rheometer data. The surface area of carbon black strongly influenced the mechanical properties and rate constant (k) of NBR composite. Carbon black N-330 can be used as a desirable reinforcing filler which gave a higher mechanical properties than the other type of carbon black

Recently, much attention has been focused on research to replace petroleum-based plasticizers, with biodegradable materials, such as biopolymer which offers competitive mechanical properties. In this study, castor oil was modified with maleic anhydride (MAH) to produce bioplasticizer named maleated anhydride castor oil (MACO), and used in nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR)/poly vinyl chloride (PVC) blend. The effect of MACO on its cure characteristics and mechanical properties of NBR/PVC blend has been determined. The reactions were carried out at different castor oil (CO)/xylene ratios, i.e. 1:0 and 1:1 by weight, and fixed CO/MAH ratio, 1:3 by mole. DOP, CO, and MACO were added into each NBR/PVC blend according to the formula. It was found that the viscosity and safe process level of NBR/PVC blend is similar from all plasticizer, however, MACO (1:0) showed the highest cure rate index (CRI). MACO-based plasticizer gave a higher value of the mechanical properties of the NBR/PVC blend as compared to DOP based plasticizer. MACO (1:1) based plasticizer showed a rather significance performance compared to another type of plasticizers both before and after aging. The value of hardness, elongation at break, tensile strength, and tear strength were 96 Shore A, 155.91 %, 19.15 MPa, and 74.47 MPa, respectively. From this result, NBR/PVC blends based on MACO plasticizer can potentially replace the DOP, and therefore, making the rubber blends eco-friendly.

Berbagai jenis adsorben lokal yaitu sekam bakar, zeolit, arang kayu, dan abu terbang bagas digunakan untuk mengadsorpsi polutan pada limbah cair industri lateks pekat. Karakteristik effluent yang digunakan berasal dari sistem pengolahan limbah terpasang masih keruh dan berbau, dengan nilai pH 5,9-7,9; COD 396,8-8594 mg/l; BOD 80,82-2384 mg/l; TSS 126-12668 mg/l, dan amonia 10,4-28,6 mg/l. Effluent dialirkan pada peralatan pengolahan limbah cair sistem adsorpsi dengan variasi jenis adsorben pada berbagai % volume adsorben dengan kecepatan alir tertentu. Limbah cair setelah adsorpsi diuji nilai pH, COD, BOD, TSS, dan amonia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adsorben dapat menurunkan nilai COD, BOD, TSS, dan amonia dengan persentase yang bervariasi untuk masing-masing jenis adsorben. Semakin besar volume adsorben yang digunakan menunjukkan kecenderungan penurunan nilai polutan yang lebih baik.

EPDM dan NR merupakan polimer yang tidak misibel dan kompatibel. Penambahan kompatibiliser maleat anhidrat diharapkan menghasilkan campuran yang kompatibel dengan sifat mekanik yang baik. Pencampuran EPDM dan NR dilakukan menggunakan alat two roll mill, dengan rasio EPDM/NR adalah: 100/0, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50, dan 40/60 phr. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh rasio EPDM/NR terhadap sifat reologi, aging, termal dan swelling dari campuran EPDM/NR. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penambahan NR mempengaruhi torsi maksimum, waktu scorch dan waktu vulkanisasi optimum. Penambahan EPDM memberikan sifat aging, termal dan swelling lebih baik. ......The blends of EPDM and NR are immiscible in nature and incompatible. Introducing maleic anhydride as a compatibilizer into the blends was expected to produce compatible blends with balanced mechanical properties. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of EPDM/NR ratio on the rheological, aging, thermal and swelling properties of the blends. The variation of EPDM/NR ratio were 100/0, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50, and 40/60 phr. The blends were mixed using two roll mill. The results showed that the addition of NR affects the maximum torque, scorch time, and optimum vulcanization time. In the blends, EPDM plays an important role in improving aging, swelling, thermal properties.
