The Effect Of Silica On The Peel Adhesion of Epoxidized Natural Rubber-Based Adhesive Containing Coumarone-Indene Resin
Technical Paper - The peel strength of silica filled on two grades of epoxidised natural rubber (ENR) , i.e., ENR 25 and ENR 50 adhesive, were investigated using coumarone-indene as the tackifying resin. Toluene was used as the solvent throughout the study. Result shows that peel strength increases with increase in silica loading due to the concentration effect of the filler. Peel strength, however, shows maximum value at 40phr silica for both ENR 25 and ENR 50 an observation that is attributed to the maximum wettability and compatibility of adhesive on the substrate. 22 refs.
