Abstract

Nowadays, there are many filler was used in the industrial sector to get the best mechanical properties on their product. But just a certain filler will give the best result on their performance. Coal ash had been choose due their availability, low cost, low density and recyclability. One way to reducing the production cost but still maintaining the properties of the composite is by using a filler such which is coal ash. This study is focusing on effect of fatigue properties for chloroprene rubber at different ash filler loading. In order to produce material compound, different composition had been studied to improve their physical and mechanical properties. The optimum compounding formulation of the fabricated compound will observed at the combination of chloroprene compound and coal ash based on 100 phr of the chloroprene rubber and different proportions coal ash at 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 phr. Chloroprene rubber and coal ash were successfully develop by using an internal mixer and hot compressing method. The compound will be cut into a dumb-bell specimen according to ISO standards dimension. The compound will undergo a few testing to determine physical and mechanical testing. The fatigue test and shore hardness test will determine physical properties of the compound. The morphological study of the compound was done by using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) on fracture surface of specimen. Overall, the different formulation will affected the fatigue behavior of the sample.
