Abstract
In this research chapter, the effect of silicon carbide (SiC) on physical properties of styrene-butadiene rubber was studied. Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is an important type of synthetic rubber used in tyre industries. Tensile strength, hardness, cure time, tear strength and rebound resilience were determined and compared for different compositions of silicon carbide on the rubber. The compositions of SiC were 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% by weight. Samples were prepared and tested successfully according to ASTM standards. Required properties were determined from the test observations. The tensile strength, tear strength and rebound resilience of the rubber composite were found to be improved for all compositions. Hardness value showed slight increase with certain compositions of SiC.
