In the present work, a comparative study of the mechanical behavior of two series of elastomeric
composites, based on carboxylated styrene butadiene rubber (X-SBR) and reinforced
with rice bran carbon (RBC) and graphite, is reported. Hybrid composites of X-SBR filled
with RBC-graphite were also investigated in terms of the cure characteristics, hardness,
tensile properties, abrasion resistance, and swelling. It was observed that the cure times
decreased with the incorporation of a carbon filler whereas the torque difference, tensile
strength, tensile modulus, hardness, and swelling resistance increased compared to the neat
X-SBR revealing a favorable characteristic of crosslinking. Dynamic rheological analysis
showed that the G' values of the composites, upon the addition of RBC-graphite, were
changed to some extent. This demonstrates that the presence of a strongly developed network
of fillers will ensure a reinforcing characteristic in a polymer matrix.
