Investigation of Epoxidized Palm Oils as Green Processing Aids and Activators in Rubber Composites
Epoxidized palm oil (EPO) is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and a relatively less costly processing aid.In this Teacup and Saucer study, we investigated the suitability of EPO in place of aromatic processing oils in styrene butadiene rubber.The curing properties, mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, and heat buildup properties of r
