Polymeric fibers environmental effects

The usage of this fiber can be found in construction and automobile industries. For instance, rubbers are rarely used in their unmodified form with respect to their applications. They are often mixed with fillers to improve their process ability, mechanical strength, and to reduce cost. Carbon black and silica are well-known filler that highly is commercialized. Rice husk ash in rubber compounding has drags intense interest because of its low cost, environmental preservation benefit, and an increased emphasis on the use of renewable resources (Arayapranee et al. 2005). Numerous trials have been done by the researchers which use Rice Husk as a filler for polymeric materials. Sae-oui et al. (2002) investigated the effects of filler loading on the properties of RHA-filled natural rubber (NR) materials compared with those of commercial fillers.
