Abstract

Natural resources and human life are inseparable. We are in the same natural ecosystem. People have the unique capability of manipulating parts of the entire ecosystem, but we must always recognize that there are natural limits. However, our natural resources are becoming increasingly stressed as greater demands are placed on their ability to provide us with their life giving services. In tire industries, the applications of rubber plants were widely used. Thus, this project aims to produce synthetic rubber for substitute a natural rubber implicated in tire. But the synthetic rubber use environment friendly materials. The rubber synthetic are developed with 3 different compositions which are 50 (PV A): 50 (Carbon powder), 25 (PV A): 75 (Carbon powder) and 75 (PVA): 25 (Carbon powder). Based on the result obtained, the density for composition A (50:50) is 1207.06 kg/m3 , composition B (25:75) is 1463.75 kg/m3 and composition C (75:25) is 1445.73 kg/m3 . Composition C shows the greater tensile strength with 5. 72 l 4MPa and composition A was the lowest tensile strength with 3.3667MPa respectively. Greater amount of PV A enhance the tensile strength also makes the extension longer. Referred to rnicrostructure analysis, pores obviously see on the surface of composition A. There is less pores on the surface of composition B and composition C. This happened due to insufficient amount of PVA to react with carbon powder to form a rubber. Data obtained was put in the table and some of the data interpret by graphs.
