Abstract:
<p align="justify"> Sugar cane bagasse is a common byproduct of the aZaohoZ and sugar industries. In the present work, we describe the preparation of elastomeric agglomerates containing SBR [poly(styrene-butadiene)] and bagasse or kaolin as inert filler. The experimental results and a series of laboratory and field tests show that the sugar cane bagasse agglomerate can be very appropriate and useful for practical applications, especially in the manufacture of shoe soles. </p>
