Abstract The surface properties of carbon blacks obtained by vacuum pyrolysis of different used rubbers (CBp) and of commercial carbon blacks were measured by inverse gas chromatography (IGC). The dispersive component of the surface energy (γsd) and the specific interaction (Isp) of the recovered CBp were lower than γsd and Isp of the virgin carbon black initially present in the rubber. However, γsd and Isp of recovered medium surface area carbon black and of virgin low-surface-area carbon black were comparable. During the pyrolysis, carbonaceous deposits are formed on the CBp surface. A correlation between γsd and Isp and the amount of the carbonaceous deposits, measured by ESCA, was found, suggesting that the formation of these deposits is responsible for the decrease of γsd and Isp.

Abstract Based on the concepts of the occlusion of rubber and random packing of spheres whose volume is equivalent to that permeated by individual aggregates, an equation was deduced to estimate the distance between carbon-black aggregates in filled rubber. It was found that when the interaggregate distance reaches a critical point which is approximately identical for all carbon blacks investigated (furnace blacks), the elastic modulus measured at very low strain deviates from the modified Guth-Gold equation. Tan δ and resilience are mainly determined by the distance between aggregates. These phenomena are related to filler networking which is determined by the attractive potential and the distance between individual aggregates. Since the factor Sf, used to characterize the strength of secondary filler networks in hydrocarbon rubbers and measured by means of inverse gas chromatography, is approximately the same for all furnace blacks, the interaggregate distance seems to determine filler networking. A comparison of fillers with different Sf (graphitized vs. nongraphitized carbon blacks, carbon black vs. silica) shows that at the same interaggregate distance, a lower Sf leads to higher tan δ of the filled vulcanizates.
