Abstract
Compounds of natural rubber containing different fillers were evaluate d for their air permeability, The results indicated that incorporation of filler generally reduce the permeability, but certain fillers such as mica, graphite and clay produced substantial reduction which was a ttributed to the particular morphology of these fillers as evidenced f rom photomicrographs. Physical properties were mostly lowered, with ex ception of carbon black.
