Cuttlebone was proved to be a biomass for new reinforcing filler for natural rubber (NR). The cuttlebone particles were obtained by crushing cuttlebone and followed by sieving. Density and crystal structure of the cuttlebone were 2.70 g/cm3 and an aragonite form of CaCO3, respectively. The surface area and average diameter of the cuttlebone particles were measured and the reinforcement effect as filler for NR was investigated. The cuttlebone particles did not prevent a peroxide cross-linking reaction of NR, and mechanical properties of peroxide cross-linked NR filled with cuttlebone particles were found to be comparable with those of peroxide cross-linked NR filled with commercial CaCO3 filler. Presence of chitin on the surface of the cuttlebone particles was speculated to result in a good interaction between cuttlebone particles and NR, which may be ascribed to the mechanical properties of cuttlebone filled NR samples.
