Abstract The effect of sulfur, MBT, zinc oxide, and stearic acid on the DCP vulcanization of SBR has been studied. DCP decomposition obeys first order kinetics in all cases, but its rate constant is higher in presence of MBT. Sulfur and MBT reduce the crosslink density due to DCP. In the mixes containing sulfur, MBT, zinc oxide, and stearic acid in presence of DCP the crosslink density is initially additive. Here oxidation of some pendent vinyl groups are effected by DCP, and these groups also take part in thiol addition reaction with MBT. The thiazole accelerated sulfuration of SBR proceeds fundamentally by the same mechanism as reported for NR, but the details show slight difference chiefly due to the presence of pendent vinyl groups and styrene units in the chain and due to the absence of pendent methyl groups in SBR.

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.

In this study, rubber blend of natural rubber (NR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) at 80/20 NR/SBR was reinforced with nanosilica (nSiO2) and polystyrene-encapsulated nanosilica (PS-nSiO2) in the latex state. The latex of PS-nSiO2 was synthesized by in situ differential microemulsion polymerization using sodium dodecyl sulfate and azobisisobutyronitrile as the surfactant and initiator, respectively. The nanoparticles at the amount of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 parts per hundred of rubber (based on dry weight of nSiO2) were dispersed in the rubber blend compound and subsequently cured at 80°C for 3 h to prepare rubber nanocomposites. Using this technique, nanoparticles could be well dispersed in the rubber matrix. The influences of the nSiO2 and PS-nSiO2 on the mechanical and thermal properties of the resulting nanocomposites were quantified and compared. It is found that the tensile properties and thermal stability of the rubber blends were improved with the appropriate amounts of the nanofillers. However, the PS-nSiO2 exhibited reinforcing efficiency superior to nSiO2 with the same nSiO2 content due to the stronger rubber-filler interfacial adhesion.
