MODELLING THE MECHANICAL AND MICROSTRUCTURE PROPERTIES OF CELLULAR RUBBER PRODUCED VIA MICROWAVE HEATING METHOD
There were various types of cellular rubber and many ways to produce it, such as conventional heating. However, the conventional heating method did not give a great result in terms of the quality of the cellular rubber. Another aspect that needs to be acknowledged is the type of blowing agent...

| description |
There were various types of cellular rubber and many ways to produce it, such as
conventional heating. However, the conventional heating method did not give a great result in
terms of the quality of the cellular rubber. Another aspect that needs to be acknowledged is
the type of blowing agent used for foaming process on the rubber. Unfortunately, the usage of
Chemical Blowing Agent (CBA) has a bad impact on the environment and public health.
Hence, the main activity of this final year project was to produce cellular rubber using water
as a green and sustainable blowing agent assisted by microwave and convection heating
methods. The water content was varied from 0.5 to 2.0 part per hundred rubbers (phr). Two
different setting parameters were used in this study, where the microwave power was varied
at 600 W and 1000 W at different exposure times, while convection heating was maintainedat
150 ℃. This report also The properties of the produced cellular rubber were chracterised in
terms of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Optical Microscope, Fourier Infrared
Spectroscopy (FTIR), Compression Test, Density Test, Thermalgravimetric Analysis Test
and Modelling Simulation of rubber foam. Then, the result obtained was discussed and
concluded on which parameter settings and quantity of water as blowing agent give the best
properties of the cellular rubber. This project also showcased a modelling that built a cellular
rubber model by using Solidworks and a compression simulation was done on the model by
using Ansys. This showed the correlation between the experimental data from compression
test and simulation data on the effect of cell type of the cellular rubber model. The best
processing parameter was implementing lower power (600 W) and longer processing time
(18 minutes) and the optimum water content of the rubber foam was 0.5 phr. |
