Abstract

In this research, the poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co-styrene) (PABS) rubber matrix was reinforced with fly ash and fly ash/halloysite nanofiller (FA/HN) to from two series of composites. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used for the structural elucidation of composites. The scanning electron microscopy depicted fine dispersion of fly ash/halloysite in matrix due to better rubber/filler interaction. The sorption tests of PABS/FA/HN 30 composite performed better in diesel and kerosene due to larger molecular size of fuel compared with the petrol. Moreover, the fuel uptake was found minimum for the composites with 40 wt% filler. The fuel resistance of PABS/FA/HN series increased with the increasing filler content from 10 to 40 wt%. The PABS/FA/HN with 40 wt% filler showed an excellent resistance to petroleum fuels. The flame resistance of the PABS/FA/HN composites also increased gradually with raising the filler content. The PABS/FA/HN 10 composite showed the maximum peak (PHRR) at 337 kW/m2, which was decreased to 211 kW/m2 in PABS/FA/HN 30 composite. The PABS/FA/HN 40 showed the tensile strength of 6.9 MPa before fuel immersion, while after immersion the property was decreased to 6.1 MPa.
