Abstract: This research involves usage of Graphene Oxide as a filler in rubber tyre manufacturing process. The oxygen present in Graphene Oxide easily disperses in organic solvents, water and different types of matrixes like styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) which is a major component in rubber tyres. When combined the rubber tyre with ceramic or polymer matrix, the electrical and mechanical properties of the material is enhanced. The presence of Sp2 hybridization bonding network forms a very strong covalent bonding with the polymers. The testing and analysis showed that tyres made with compound containing small amount of Graphene oxide flakes exhibited outstanding wear resistance and improvement in other mechanical properties. Using the GO mixed rubber tyres reduces wear rate, this can bring production and consumer area be responsible in production and consuming resources. Implementing this researched method in tyre manufacturing will lead to less consumption of rubber, and the tyre producers become responsible producers there by we can achieve a sustainable environment.
