Abstract Evaluations of cyclic iminocarbodithioates as accelerators and vulcanizing agents are described. The starting amines include morpholine and 3-azabicyclo-[3.2.2]nonane and vary in ring size from tetra- to octamethylenimine. The chemical structure of these compounds is correlated with their cure characteristics and the kinetics of vulcanization. Basicity and ring size of the amine moiety govern the activity of the iminocarbodithioates.

Abstract Dithioamines and sulfenamides derived from various cyclic amines were evaluated as accelerators and vulcanizing agents. Structural variations of these compounds are correlated with their scorch delaying properties, accelerating activity and vulcanization efficiency, employing the Mooney Viscometer and the Monsanto Oscillating Disk Rheometer. The relative cure characteristics differed with changes in the basic structure of the compounds, and with the size and type of the cyclic amine moiety. However, the piperidine derivatives consistently showed longer scorch delay and slower mean cure rate than the corresponding derivatives of pyrrolidine, hexamethylenimine or heptamethylenimine. In the case of the thiazolyl sulfenamides, the type of substitution in the thiazolyl group also influenced scorch delay. An empirical relation was observed between the effect of concentration of the thiazolyl sulfenamides on scorch delay and the results of differential thermal analyses of sulfenamide and sulfur blends.

Abstract New catalyst systems based on alkylaluminum derivatives and halogen or interhalogen compounds were found highly efficient in the synthesis of high-molecular-weight IIR at temperatures above − 50°C. The reaction mechanism was studied in detail for the system Et2AlCl + Cl2. The reactions occurring between chlorine, isobutene, Et2AlCl, and the solvent (CH3Cl) were elucidated and studied under various experimental conditions (e.g. presence or absence of light, simultaneous presence of the copolymerization system components, temperature, type of halogen, use of model compound of isobutene). It was concluded that halogenium ions, i.e. Cl+, Br+, or I+, are the initiating species. Kinetic and conductometric investigations showed that scarcely dissociated ion pairs, e.g. Cl+[Et2AlCl2]−, were formed in the absence of monomer; but in the presence of isobutene, a noticeable increase of the electrical conductivity and rapid polymerization occurred. The maximum polymerization rate was first order with respect to the concentrations of monomer, Cl2, and Et2AlCl. In the homopolymerization of isobutene, transfer to monomer and termination reactions were negligible. The MW of IIR was found to be mainly dependent on the concentrations of the catalyst components, on isoprene concentration, and on temperature. The reactivity ratio of isobutene with isoprene was found to be r1=2.5±0.5 at −35°C, while the activation energies relative to MW were −5.8 ± 0.4, kcal/mol for polyisobutene, and −5.7 ± 0.7 and − 4.3 ± 0.5 kcal/mol for IIR containing, respectively, 1.3 and 1.9 mol% of isoprene. The evaluation of some physicochemical and technological properties of typical IIR produced with the system Et2AlCl + Cl2, indicated that isoprene is randomly distributed along the chains and that the MWD is monomodal, while the glass transition temperature, tensile properties, mechanical-dynamic spectra, and kinetics of vulcanization are very similar to those of commercial IIR. Very preliminary data, referring to several classes of new catalyst systems yielding IIR having good properties, were also obtained. The syncatalyst systems here described can work in a homogeneous phase consisting of an aliphatic hydrocarbon besides methyl chloride, still giving IIR with high MW. Therefore, a completely homogeneous process can be envisioned for the synthesis of IIR at −50°C thus avoiding a great part of the fouling problems of the slurry process. The economic advantage of using “high” temperatures of polymerization is briefly discussed in terms of energy savings.

Abstract As a complement to earlier investigations, and in order to examine more closely the connection between the chemical kinetics and the changes with vulcanization time of the physical properties in the case of vulcanization reactions, we used thiuram vulcanizations as an example, and concerned ourselves with the dependence of stress values (moduli) at different degrees of elongation and different vulcanization temperatures. We found: 1. Stress values attain a limiting value, dependent on the degree of elongation, but independent of the vulcanization temperature at constant elongation. 2. The rise in stress values with the vulcanization time is characterized by an initial delay, which, however, is practically nonexistent at higher temperatures. 3. The kinetics of the increase in stress values with vulcanization time are both qualitatively and quantitatively in accord with the dependence of the reciprocal equilibrium swelling on the vulcanization time; both processes, after a retardation, go according to the first order law and at the same rate. 4. From the temperature dependence of the rate constants of reciprocal equilibrium swelling, as well as of the increase in stress, an activation energy of 22 kcal/mole can be calculated, in good agreement with the activation energy of dithiocarbamate formation in thiuram vulcanizations.

Abstract A new theory has been advanced which, it is believed, explains completely the various phenomena connected with the vulcanization of rubber. It is entirely a chemical theory based on the existence of two separate and distinct rubber compounds, soft vulcanized rubber and ebonite. The theory explains satisfactorily the aging of rubber, the variation in combined sulfur at optimum cure caused by acceleration, the kinetics of vulcanization, the characteristics of various vulcanizing agents, the thermochemistry of vulcanization, the electrical properties of rubber, the reclaiming of rubber, and the Joule effect. A brief review and discussion of the phenomena and past theories of vulcanization have also been given.

AbstractThe chemical structure of mineral wool fiber was investigated by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Next, the glass transition temperature and the crystallization temperature of the fibers were studied. Finally, the crystallization kinetics of fiber was studied. The results show that the chemical bond structure of fibers gets more random with the increase of acidity coefficient. The crystallization phases of the fibers are mainly melilites, and also a few anorthites and diopsides. The growth mechanism of the crystals is three dimensional. The fibers with acidity coefficient of 1.2 exhibit the best thermal stability and is hard to crystallize as it has the maximum aviation energy of crystallization kinetics.

Abstract A procedure for the determination of combined selenium in rubber has been evolved. The rate of combination of selenium and rubber has been ascertained under certain conditions and shown to follow a first-order equation. A minimum value for the molecular weight of rubber has been estimated. The formation of hard rubber under chosen experimental conditions has been put on a mathematical basis and has been shown to follow a second-order reaction. The soft- and hard-rubber reactions have been shown qualitatively to be successive reactions and the function of accelerators has been discussed. The theory explains the anomalous results obtained by previous investigators.
