Effect of solvent Extractions on a linear Combination fitting in sulfur K-edge X-ray Absorption near edge structure Spectroscopy for Sulfur cross-linked Rubber
Necessity of solvent extractions in the linear combination fitting method of sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (S-XANES) spectroscopy is described for evaluation of a sulfidic structure of isoprene rubber (IR) vulcanizate prepared using N-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)cyclohexanamine as an accelerator, and zinc oxide and stearic acid as activators.Weiterlesen...

Precipitated Silica – Morphology Control
Precipitated silica, especially in combination with bifunctional organosilanes, is one of the most important active filler, filler system respectively, that is used in the rubber industry and especially in passenger car tire tread compounds. Despite the fact that there are already many different silica having a broad range of different specific surface areas, the variety of cluster sizes in the nanometer range is rather low in contrast to the broad range of available carbon black structure variations.Weiterlesen...

Investigations on isothermal and two-stage non-isothermal cure of unfilled NR, Nd-IR and S-SBR Compounds
The effect of one stage isothermal and two-stage non-isothermal cure on crosslink density, crosslink structure and stress-strain behavior of unfilled NR, Nd-IR and S-SBR compounds has been investigated.Weiterlesen...

Void Volume Measurement - an alternative Approach to Determine the Initial Structure of Silica
To improve the abrasion resistance of silica filled passenger car tire tread compounds a good dispersion and distribution of the silica in the rubber matrix is required. From the literature it is known that the structure of fillers affects the dispersion process.Weiterlesen...
