Sustainable ZnO nanoparticles using sweet lime peel extract: Eco-friendly activator in rubber for tire applications
2024
Overview
This study addresses the increasing demand for eco-friendly rubber compounding additives by exploring greensynthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. The green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles is gaining attention due to its ecofriendly approach and potential applications. This study investigates the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using sweet lime peel extract as a green method, comparing it with chemical synthesis. The obtained nanoparticles are characterized and evaluated for suitability as activators in natural rubber composites for tire applications. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of the prepared ZnO nanoparticles on mice cells is assessed, revealing lower toxicity for green-synthesized ZnO compared to chemically synthesized ZnO. Payne effect analysis on the composites demonstrates improved polymer-filler interaction and mechanical properties for the green-synthesized ZnO-loaded composites. Notably, the incorporation of green-synthesized ZnO leads to significant enhancements in tensile strength due to its higher surface area. It achieves desirable magic triangle tire properties, including low rolling resistance, high wet traction, and high abrasion resistance. These findings highlight the promising potential of green ZnO as an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical ZnO in rubber compounding.
