Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) polymers have been used in biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility, durability, toughness and high wear resistance. To enhance the mechanical properties, various types of minerals are commonly utilized as fillers in UHMWPE. One of the minerals is dolomite, which has been recognized as a valuable mineral with versatile applications, particularly in the field of biomedical applications. This paper presents the tensile properties of UHMWPE composites that filled with dolomite and treated-dolomite at various filler loading (i.e., 1-5 wt.%). Nitric acid and diammonium phosphate were used to treat the dolomite. From the results, the peaks of the FTIR spectrum displays carbonate (CO3–2), phosphate (PO4–3) and hydroxyl (OH–) groups in the ct-dolomite powder sample while the XRD pattern reveals that using dolomite treated with 1M nitric acid resulted in the presence of calcium hydroxide phosphate (Ca10(PO4)5(OH)) and MgO. For tensile strength, UHMWPE/ct-dolomite composites show better tensile strength than the pure UHMWPE composites. Treated improve the dolomite filler and resulted in significantly better matrix-filler interfacial interactions and improve the properties.

Effect of blowing agent on compression and morphological properties of natural rubber latex foam

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) was used as a blowing agent in natural rubber latex foam (NRLF) in this study. At fixed vulcanization temperature and time in an air-circulating oven, the NRLF was prepared via the Dunlop method by whipping until frothing and adding NaHCO3 in latex compounds with different loading (i.e., 0, 3, 9 and 12 phr). An alternative formulation for the inclusion of NaHCO3 in NRLF was used. The effect of different blowing agent loading on the physical characteristics of NRFL such as relative foam density was investigated. Observation of cell diameter was performed using an optical microscope (OM). The result of NRLF's compression strength was also evaluated, which correlated with the foam's physical characteristics. The relative foam density was increased with an increase in the amount of NaHCO3. However, the average cell diameter was shown to decrease as the loading of the blowing agent increased. The outcomes of the NRLF's compression strength were also enhanced as the loading of the blowing agent increased following the physical characteristics of the foam respectively.
