Abstract On the basis of measurements of bound rubber and physical properties and the results of Monsanto rheometer, dynamic mechanical and infrared spectroscopic studies, it is observed that strong rubber-filler interaction occurs between XNBR and precipitated silica filler. During molding, XNBR was found to be crosslinked by the filler surface through the formation of primary bonds. The coupling agent, namely (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane facilitates the formation of rubber-filler bonds at the expense of filler-filler networks, leading to improved dispersion and enhanced degree of crosslinking.

Abstract The concentrations of the blowing agent and silica filler alter the microstructure of ethylene vinyl acetate rubber foam which in turn is responsible for changes in the physical properties of the foam vulcanizates. The theoretically predicted flaw sizes were found to be in reasonable agreement with the largest pore diameter observed from SEM photomicrographs. The results support the theory that the tensile rupture of foam rubber occurs by the catastrophic tearing from a flaw present in the form of the largest pore in the microstructure of the foam.
