Abstract Studies have been made on the mechanism of MBT accelerated sulfur vulcanization of natural rubber containing semi-reinforcing carbon black as a filler. DCP has been used as an aid to distinguish between free radical and polar mechanism. Results indicate that sulfuration by MBT and sulfur proceed by a free radical mechanism but it becomes polar when ZnO and stearic acid are also present. Carbon black does not interfere in the sulfuration but it gives rise to additional crosslinks.

Abstract Sulfuration by CBS acceleration both in presence and absence of ZnO and stearic acid with or without DCP has been studied in detail. It is observed that CBS increases the rate of DCP decomposition and decreases the crosslinking maxima due to DCP—ultimately leading to zero cross links with high amounts of CBS. In accordance with the observed sulfur decrease, free MBT formation, combined sulfur as MS etc., a predominantly radical mechanism has been presented, presumably not proceeding through intermediate complex formation. In mixes containing DCP together with sulfur, CBS, ZnO, and stearic acid crosslinks are found to be formed nearly additively, further confirmed by methyl iodide treatment of vulcanizates. Attempts have been made to interpret the results in terms of radical and polar mechanisms.

Unlike C-N bond formation with classical dirhodium(II)-nitrenoids as the key intermediate, dirhodium(II)-catalyzed 1,2-and 1,3-diamination reactions are realized by a free radical mechanism. A mechanistic study revealed that the reactions undergo...

Abstract The salient features of both non-elemental sulfur vulcanization by TMTD and elemental sulfur vulcanization promoted by TMTD both in presence and absence of ZnO and stearic acid have been studied. TMTD increases the rate of DCP decomposition and lowers the crosslinking maxima due to DCP depending on its concentration. However, with higher amounts of TMTD the initial rate of crosslinking is increased with the increased amount of TMTD, while crosslinking maxima are still lowered due to reversion. ZnO or ZnO-stearic acid, however, seems to alter the entire course of the reaction. Both the crosslink formation and TMTD decomposition are much higher in presence of ZnO or ZnO-stearic acid, but stearic acid seems to have no effect. The reaction mechanisms for TMTD accelerated sulfuration in absence and presence of ZnO have also been studied.
