ABSTRACT Global warming and environmental awareness in general have increased the research into thermal energy storage fields. Phase-change materials (PCMs) are efficient in storing thermal energy because of their high latent heat during the phase change. As the phase change is often based on the melting of the PCM, they need to be encapsulated, for example, by dispersing the PCM to a polymer matrix. In this study, the feasibility of the use of paraffin–natural rubber composites in applications requiring both the good ability to store heat energy and good vibration-damping properties is studied. This includes studies on PCM concentration and the microencapsulation of the PCM. It was found that the heat storage capacity increases with increasing PCM content, although the theoretical maximum capacity is not achieved because the PCM is released during vulcanization and the paraffin blooms. In addition, the loss factor was found to be increased at elevated temperatures, indicating improved damping properties. The encapsulation of PCM is found to have a positive influence on the heat storage capacity and the mechanical and damping properties of the rubber compound.

This research shows a great potential of cogon grass fiber to be used as a reinforcement in epoxidized natural rubber composites. The thermal and mechanical properties of cogon grass fiber-epoxidized natural rubber composites were studied. The chemical treatment of cogon grass fiber to be used as a reinforcing filler was revealed. Effects of fiber treatment method and treatment time of cogon grass fiber on thermal properties of the fibers and their composites were elucidated. The addition of cogon grass fiber into epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) improved the mechanical properties of the composites.The result indicated that alkaline treatment followed by acid treatment of cogon grass fiber led to an increase in thermal decomposition temperature and mechanical properties of the composites more than that without acid treatment. With increasing the amount of fiber, tensile strength of ENR composites were significantly increased while elongation at break was insignificantly changed. ENR with the addition of 4-Amino-6-hydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine monohydrate as coupling agent (ENRC) was shown to have higher tensile strength, modulus at 200% elongation and elongation at break than ENR. Improved mechanical properties were also obtained in ENRC composites compared to those of ENR composites.
