Abstract
A series of natural rubber (NR) vulcanizates have been prepared by partially replacing the carbon black by
ground granulated blast furnace slag (GBS). The effect of GBS content on the physico-mechanical properties
and cure characteristics of NR composites have been investigated. The effect of with and without silane (Si-69)-
modified GBS content on the mechanical behaviors of the NR systems has been reported. The physico-
mechanical properties of the rubber vulcanizates were determined before and after heat aging at 90 oC for 72 h.
It was observed that GBS filled NR composites exhibits increase in hardness as the GBS filler content increases.
Electrical properties of the NR/GBS vulcanizates were also studied.
