Abstract: The effect of castor oil based multifunctional additives on the properties of natural rubber vulcanizate was studied. The castor oil was extracted from castor seed via mechanical expression and characterized. The castor oil based Multifunctional Additive (MFA) was synthesized by reacting castor oil with Diethylamine at temperature of 80oC under constant stirring for one hour and further cooled in a water bath to terminate the reaction. The formulation of the …
