  • Is bio-based vegetable oil a green processing aid for Nature rubber composites?
  • In this work, we selected one bio-based vegetable oil (FN-B17) as green processing aid for nature rubber (NR) composites and petroleum-based oils (PB-1,2,3,4,5) were also chosen to be investigated for comparison. The plasticisation effects of FN-B17 and other plasticisers on composites were systematically studied.
  • Can vegetable oil improve rubber performance?
  • Apart from renewability, vegetable oils have some functional groups such as polar group, double bond and long alkyl chain, which could make rubber performance more comprehensive, making processing oil from petroleum-based “one agent for one function” to bio-based “one agent for multiple functions”.
  • What types of processing oils are used in the rubber industry?
  • There are mainly three types of processing oils frequently used in the rubber industry and the aromatic oil (TDAE, treated distillate aromatic extract) is especially notable. However, high aromatic oils with high content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are suspect carcinogens and strictly controlled by the European Commission .
  • Can petroleum based oils be used as plasticisers?
  • Petroleum-based oils, which originate as derivatives of the petro-chemical industry, have been conventionally used as plasticisers for natural and synthetic rubbers in rubber industry.
  • Can plant oil be used as a plasticiser?
  • Many attempts have been made to use various plant oils including derivatives, such as castor oil , citrus oil , coconut oil , linseed oil , rice bran oil , palm oil [8 – 9] and soybean oil as plasticisers in carbon black or SiO 2 -filled rubbers.
  • Could bio-based processing oil improve the Payne effect?
  • Through the RPA analysis, bio-based processing oil could improve the Payne effect, endow fillers with better dispersibility and give rubber composites more comprehensive properties, making processing oil from petroleum-based “one agent for one function” to bio-based “one agent for multiple functions”.
