ABSTRACTCarbon black filled natural rubber (NR) vulcanizates were devulcanized at ambient temperature in a two roll mill. The effect of cure system, that is, conventional vulcanization (CV), semiefficient vulcanization (semi EV), and efficient vulcanization (EV) systems, used for vulcanization of the original sample, on the efficiency of devulcanization was studied. The efficiency of devulcanization expressed as percentage devulcanization of the samples calculated from residual crosslink density measurements was correlated with the sol fraction of the devulcanized samples based on Horikx analysis. Using chemical probe analysis, we determined (i) the crosslink distribution pattern of the original sample, (ii) the extent to which the different types of crosslinks—that is, polysulfidic, disulfidic, and monosulfidic crosslinks—have been debonded or broken during the shearing process in the two roll mill, and (iii) the pattern of bond formation during revulcanization. Mechanical shearing predominantly breaks the majority crosslink type (polysulfidic crosslinks in CV and semi EV cure systems and disulfidic crosslinks in EV samples). Irrespective of the significant reduction in total crosslink density in all three sets of samples, chain shortening reactions similar to the post-crosslinking chemical reactions at curing temperatures also occur during mechanical shear at ambient conditions, which increased the absolute value of monosulfidic links in CV and semi EV systems. However, in the devulcanized EV system, the absolute value of polysulfidic crosslinks increased, which might be due to the re-crosslinking of the cleaved bonds. All the devulcanized samples were revulcanized, and the mechanical and morphological properties were analyzed. The percentage retention of the vulcanizate properties after revulcanization of the devulcanized samples correlated very well with efficiency of devulcanization.

Effects of alkanolamide (ALK) addition on cure characteristics, swelling behaviour and tensile properties of silica-filled natural rubber (NR)/chloroprene rubber (CR) blends were investigated. The ALK was synthesized from Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Stearin (RBDPS) and diethanolamine, and incorporated into the silica-filled NR/CR blends as a non-toxic rubber additive. The ALK loadings were 0.0, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 and 7.0 phr. It was found that the ALK exhibited shorter scorch and cure times and higher elongation at break of the silica-filled NR/CR blends. The ALK also exhibited higher torque differences, tensile modulus and tensile strength at a 1.0 phr of ALK loading and then decreased with further increases in the ALK loading. The swelling measurement proved that the 1.0 phr loading of ALK caused the highest degree in crosslink density of the silica-filled NR/CR blends.

Abstract The dielectric properties of natural rubber, synthetic polyisoprene, andpolybutadiene samples crosslinked with sulfur and of natural rubber samplescrosslinked simultaneously with sulfur and dicumyl peroxide were studied. Inthe investigated systems, the number of polar groups in unit volume and thecrosslink density may be changed independently over relatively wide ranges.The measurements were performed in the frequency range from 101 to 105 Hzat various temperatures, and macroscopic parameters describing the dielectricproperties of the samples were evaluated. The position and intensity of thedielectric dispersion peak in the main transition zone is only slightly dependenton the crosslink density of the samples. These two values are mainly influencedby the amount of combined sulfur, or more generally, by the number and thedipole moments of polar groups in the sample. The influence of crosslink densityon the width of the absorption curve is very strong; the width increases withincreasing crosslink density. The possibility of explaining this effect in termsof the dependence of the free volume distribution function on crosslink densityis discussed.

Radiation Time

This study aimed to study the effects of microwave radiation on the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE2 by Raman spectroscopy. The cells were separated into a control group and radiated groups with radiation times of 2, 5, 10, and 25 min, respectively. Both principal components analysis and support vector machine were employed for statistical analysis of Raman spectra. The results show that the relative content of C-H deformation and amide I begin to change when the radiation time is over 10 min, and principal components analysis further confirms there are significant differences after 10 min of radiation. Moreover, support vector machine is simultaneously used to classify radiated samples from control samples. The classification accuracy is low until the radiation time reaches over 10 min. In conclusion, this study reveals the Raman spectral characteristics of CNE2 under different microwave radiation exposure timesand demonstrates Raman spectroscopy can be a potential method to explore cellular characterization after radiation. The final results may help in elucidating the mechanism by which microwave radiation interacts with tumor cells.
