Because of the chemically crosslinked 3D molecular structure of rubbers, their recycling is a challenging task, especially when cost efficiency is also considered. One of the most straightforward procedures is the grinding of discarded rubber products with subsequent devulcanization. The devulcanized rubber can be used as a feedstock for fresh rubber compounds or can be blended with uncured virgin rubber and thermoplastic polymers to form thermoplastic dynamic vulcanizates (TDVs). TDVs combine the beneficial (re)processability of thermoplastics and the elastic properties of rubbers. Our current work focuses on the development of polypropylene (PP)-based TDVs with the use of a tire model rubber (MR) composed of natural rubber (NR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) in a ratio of 70/30. The research target was the partial substitution of the above fresh MR by microwave devulcanized crumb rubber (dCR). TDVs were produced by continuous extrusion, and the effects of composition (PP/MR/dCR = 40/60/0…50/35/15) and processing parameters (different screw configurations, temperature profiles, the feeding method of PP) were investigated. Results showed that the fresh rubber compound can be replaced up to 10 wt % without compromising the mechanical properties of the resulting TDV.

Organic zinc salts and complexes were applied as activators for sulfur vulcanization of styrene–butadiene elastomer (SBR) in order to reduce the content of zinc ions in rubber compounds as compared with conventionally used zinc oxide. In this article, the effects of different organic zinc activators on the curing characteristics, crosslink densities, and mechanical properties of SBR as well as the aging resistance and thermal behavior of vulcanizates are discussed. Organic zinc salts seem to be good substitutes for zinc oxide as activators for sulfur vulcanization of SBR rubber, without detrimental effects to the vulcanization time and temperature. Moreover, vulcanizates containing organic zinc salts exhibit higher tensile strength and better damping properties than vulcanizate crosslinked with zinc oxide. The application of organic zinc activators allows the amount of zinc ions in SBR compounds to be reduced by 70–90 wt % compared to vulcanizate with zinc oxide. This is very important for ecological reasons, since zinc oxide is classified as being toxic to aquatic species.

Abstract Combined measurements of shear-stress relaxation and differential dynamic storage and loss shear moduli G′ and G″ following a single-step shear strain of 0.4, as well as measurements of dynamic moduli in on-off strain and stress histories, have been made on styrene-butadiene rubber (type 1502) filled with carbon black (N299) at loadings of 40, 50, 60, and 70 phr, with 10 phr Sundex 790 oil. Both cured and uncured compounds were studied at temperatures of 25.0° and −0.5°C respectively. The maximum oscillatory shear strain was 0.005, and the frequency was from 0.4 to 1.8 Hz. The storage shear modulus G′(ω, 0) measured without imposition of static strain was approximately proportional to the fourth power of the volume fraction of black. With imposition of single-step strain, the differential storage modulus G′(ω, γ; t) fell 25% to 35% but slowly recovered somewhat while the strain was maintained for 4 to 5 h. During this period, the static stress relaxed continuously. At the highest content of black, the drop in log G′ was the least, and the final recovery was closest to the initial value of G′(ω, 0). In on-off experiments on uncured compounds, when the strain was “on” for 250 s and then “off” (either stress or strain returned to zero), G′ decreased when the strain was imposed as before and decreased further when it was removed. In the “off” state, G′ recovered partially but did not attain the initial value of G′(ω, 0) even after 7 d. In on-off experiments on cured compounds, removal of stress caused G′ to either increase or decrease depending on the content of black; in any case, in the “off” state, G′ recovered completely to its initial value. Other strain histories involved on-off sequences with different “on” periods and multiple on-off sequences with different “on” periods and multiple on-off sequences. The results are interpreted in terms of a network of black particle aggregates whose contacts can slowly rearrange even in the absence of stress as shown by stress relaxation at very small strains in earlier studies. In large strains, it is postulated that some contacts are broken but can partially reform, especially in the stress-free state; the rate of reformation is similar to that of small-strain stress relaxation. Only in cured compounds is the network fully recovered, presumably because in these the particles are imbedded in a crosslinked matrix and have crosslinked bridges that facilitate reestablishment of interparticle contacts, whereas in uncured compounds the matrix has no crosslinks and the bound rubber on adjacent particles may be merely entangled.
