ABSTRACT
The very few number of study in fractographic study of fatigue effects at these scales are reported for filled natural rubber (Saintier 2000; Le Cam et al. 2008; Le Cam et al. 2013) and filled styrene
1 INTRODUCTION
Conventional petroleum-derived fuels are no longer seen as a futuristic source of fuel because of its ever increasing cost and continuous diminution. This condition has driven researchers to explore intensively the prospects of biofuels as a renewable energy alternative for the current depleting energy resources. Their technical advantages besides being eco-friendly have attracted a large number of interests among researches to investigate continuously its properties, potentials and applications (Gray et al. 2006; Demirbas 2008; Fazal et al. 2011). The biodiesel is anticipated to be replacing fossil diesel (Demirbas 2008).
