This article deals with the kinetic of thermal degradation and thermal stability of natural rubber (NR) filled with titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles. Incorporation of TiO 2 nanoparticles was done through a latex mixing method. This is to ensure the homogeneity of TiO 2 nanoparticles throughout the NR matrix. Adding TiO 2 nanoparticles results in shifting the decomposition temperature and char residue irrespective of the loadings of TiO 2 nanoparticles. This is confirmed by the calculated kinetic parameters of the composites, indicating that higher energy is required to decompose the NR chains. Based on this analysis, a schematic model for thermal stability of TiO 2 nanoparticles filled NR composites is proposed. POLYM. COMPOS., 40:3149–3155, 2019. © 2018 Society of Plastics Engineers
