The performance of natural rubber (NR) relies heavily on the microstructural changes during deformation. This has brought to significant change in the stress response of NR. Besides, the stretching rate may also affect the stress response of NR. In this study, effects of stretching rate on tensile deformation and strain-induced crystallization of crosslinked NR were investigated. Results indicated that increasing the strain rate has increased the stress at given strain where the onset of strain-induced crystallization was shifted to a lower strain. The crystallinity of the crosslinked NR was shown to be higher at a high stretching rate and it corresponded well with the tensile response. The results clearly confirm that chain orientation and crystallization became stronger with increasing deformation rate. The study also suggests that the deformation could improve distribution of crosslinked network structures.

Abstract Inherent flaw sizes were determined from fatigue lifetimes, and from the crack length dependence of the strain energy to break, for four cis-1,4-polyisoprenes compounded to have the same crosslink density and low strain hysteresis. Both techniques indicated that the flaws intrinsic to guayule rubber (GR), and to a lesser extent conventional natural rubber, are larger than those found in deproteinized NR. This result may not be surprising; however, the failure properties of the elastomers, expected to depend on flaw size, were surprising. The guayule rubber and a natural rubber of relatively low purity (SMR-10) had the highest tensile strengths, tear strengths, breaking energies, and fatigue lifetimes, while DPNR exhibited the worst failure properties. Such an inverse correlation between flaw size and failure performance is due to the dominant effect of strain-induced crystallization. GR and SMR-10 have the highest propensity for strain-induced crystallization, while DPNR is the least strain-crystallizable. Interestingly, all rubbers exhibited the same isotropic crystallization behavior.
