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 The use of the creep T-jump experiment as a sensitive tool for elucidating the mechanistic behavior during the deformation of a complex material such as the carbon black filled elastomer has been illustrated. The activation energy for creep was determined as a function of stress for various vulcanizates. The effects of the choice of elastomer, and of variations in surface chemistry, structure, and loading of the filler, were studied. The T-jump results combined with electrical conductivity measurements confirmed the presence of a carbon black network which is considerably involved in the creep deformation process at low strain but not at high strain. In NR vulcanizates, there is a high-strain mechanism not observed in SBR vulcanizates; presumably strain-induced crystallization is responsible for the NR behavior. Oxidation of filler surfaces had essentially no effect on the creep deformation mechanisms, suggesting that, during creep, slippage of elastomers along the surface does not occur to any great extent for conventional or oxidized surfaces.
