Abstract: Rice husk ash obtained as agricultural waste from using rice husk as a power source contains a considerable amount of silica. Two-stage mixing, using a dispersion kneader machine and a two-roll mill, was used to incorporate rice husk ash as a filler into natural rubber over a loading range from 0 to 40 phr. For comparison, a commercial silica filler was also used. The effect of filler loading on the cure characteristics and mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tear strength, Young’s modulus, and hardness, both before and after heat aging, was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy of the fracture surfaces was used to investigate the interaction between the filler and the natural rubber matrix.
