Tailoring bio waste as a potential filler in butadiene-based rubbers

Bio-waste has been investigated as a potential filler in butadiene-based rubbers as a result of the rising need for environmentally friendly and sustainable products. The use of biowaste as a filler in butadiene-based products is the subject of current research, which is summarized in this chapter. A summary of the many bio-wastes that have been investigated as possible fillers, such as rice husk, sugarcane bagasse, and wood flour, is given. Additionally, it covers how different filler contents and processing techniques affect the mechanical characteristics of the final composites. The chapter also discusses how adding bio-waste as a filler to butadiene-based rubbers may enhance their mechanical qualities and have a smaller negative environmental impact. More specifically, the difficulties in designing and producing composites made of butadiene rubber and biodegradable waste have been examined, as well as the approaches taken to streamline the manufacturing process and guarantee long-term durability. In general, this chapter offers insightful information regarding the potential of bio-waste as a sustainable and environmentally friendly filler in butadiene-based rubbers. As a sustainable alternative to traditional fillers in rubber composites, the chapter concludes by assessing the possibility and benefits of incorporating bio-waste materials such as agricultural waste and biomass residues.
