Black clay

The mbber compound usually requires an inert inorganic filler and small particle sise carbon particle for reinforcement. The mbber polymers vary in inherent tensile strength from very high in the case of natural mbber to almost nonexistent for some synthetic polymers, eg, SBR. The fillers most commonly used for mbber compounds include carbon black, clay, calcium carbonate, siUca, talc (qv), and several other inorganic fillers. 

In general, carbon black, clay, calcium carbonate and talc are the most common fillers added to rubbers. Some rubbers are less demanding of fillers (e.g. nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, polybutadienes) than others. 

One of the most important phenomena in material science is the reinforcement of mbber by rigid entities, such as carbon black, clays, silicates, calcium carbonate, zinc oxide, MH, and metal oxide [45 7]. Thus, these fillers or reinforcement aids are added to mbber formulations to optimize properties that meet a given service application or sets of performance parameters [48-53]. Although the original purpose is to lower the cost of the molding compounds, prime importance is now attached to the selective active fillers and their quantity that produce specific improvements in mbber physical properties.

DECOLORIZING AGENTS. A substance that removes color by a physical or chemical action. Charcoals, carbon blacks, clays, earths, activated alumina or bauxite, or other materials or highly adsorbent character ate used to remove undesirable colors (and often odors) front sugar, vegetable and animal fats and oils, and other substances. In a broad sense, decolorizing agents also embrace bleaches, which usually remove Color by chemical reaction.

Soluble substances like iodine also act as emulsifiers, in the case of ether/water emulsions. Some mixed stabilising agents also act as emulsifiers, e.g., ethyl alcohol and lycopodium powder, acetic acid and lamp black, clay and sodium oleate etc.

Treatment of the Raw Materials. Based on the field expedition to Mexico in 1981 and the subsequent mineralogical and chemical analyses of the collected clays and modern majolica, much more can be worked out on the technique of ancient Mexican majolica production. The low calcium content of the Valle Ware specimens points to the use of a noncalcareous clay. The observed mineralogical matching of these specimens with modern black clays from Puebla (SD 47 and SD 48) and ancient Pre-Columbian pottery (I-l, 1-2, SC 98, SC 99) suggests that these objects have been made from the locally available common red-burning volcanic clays, which were used extensively in Pre-Columbian time. There is no further evidence from microscopic inspection that supplementary addition of another material took place. These clays were therefore used, possibly after a sieving, as they have been found.

Sulfur formation along the coast of eastern India near the village of Kona (Masulipatam, Madras) was described by lya and Sreenivasayi (1944,1945). Clays in certain coastal areas of the Bay of Bengal may be flooded during monsoons for several months at a time so that they become logged with sea water halophilic sulfate-reducers develop abundantly in the lower black clays. Diffusing sulfide ions are oxidised near the surface and produce colloidal and crystalline sulfur to a depth of some 20 cm.

Fillers. Carbon black, clays, calcium carbonate, silica, etc. are typical rubber fillers. Carbon black is used in relatively high proportions to improve the strength of the rubber. The performance of carbon black incorporated into rubber largely depends on its particle size distribution. Tyres contain over 30 wt% of carbon black.

Filler systems Carbon blacks, clays, silicas, calcium carbonate. 

Carbon blacks, clays, and silicas constitute the filler or compound reinforcement system. Optimization of these materials in a formulation depends on the application for which the component is intended for example, tread or sidewall.

This is Volume 2 of Natural Rubber Materials and it covers natural rubber-based composites and nanocomposites in 27 chapters. It focuses on the different types of fillers, the filler matrix reinforcement mechanisms, manufacturing techniques, and applications of natural rubber-based composites and nanocomposites. The first 4 chapters deal with the present state of art and manufacturing methods of natural rubber materials. Two of these chapters explain the theory of reinforcement and the various reinforcing nanofillers in natural rubber. Chapters 5 to 19 detail the natural rubber composites and nanocomposites with various fillers sueh as siliea, glass fibre, metal oxides, carbon black, clay, POSS and natural fibres ete. Chapters 20-26 discuss the major characterisation techniques and the final ehapter covers the applications of natural rubber composites and nanoeomposites. By covering recent developments as well as the future uses of rubber, this volume will be a standard reference for scientists and researchers in the field of polymer chemistry for many years to come.
