Abstract Important factors of potential use for manipulating static and dynamic stiffness and the damping characteristics of compounds based on styrene-butadiene and polybutadiene elastomers and their blends have been outlined. Their characteristics have been compared with those of IIR and EPDM compounds. The effects of variations in composition are quantitatively defined to assist the compounder in combining these effects in a manner that will lead to a desired combination of properties. In addition to the expected increase in static spring rate and dynamic spring rate with carbon black level, the following responses to compositional variations were found important: 1. The complex dynamic spring rate is more sharply dependent upon carbon black level than the static spring rate. 2. The complex dynamic spring rate is essentially independent of the level of crosslinking while static spring rate increases. 3. Damping coefficient is directly proportional to the level of carbon black and inversely proportional to the level of crosslinking. 4. Styrene level in a polymer blend and plasticizer composition can be used to adjust loss modulus and storage modulus at a given temperature and also to modify the rate of change of these properties with temperature. 5. The strain dependency of storage modulus was found in one instance to vary with the elastomer composition. The IIR vulcanizate, when formulated to the same static modulus, exhibited a larger strain dependence than the SBR, BR, and EPDM composition.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different carbon black structures towards heat build-up measurements and its dynamic properties such as tangent delta, loss modulus and storage modulus on the industrial rubber compounds containing Natural Rubber (NR) and Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR). Different carbon black structures were used and characterised with respect to their rheological and physical properties. Heat Build-up test is a testing procedure which is used to measure the rate of heat generated by the rubber vulcanisates when subjected to rapidly oscillating compressive stresses or strain under controlled conditions. It was found that NR compound containing low and high carbon black structures; N375 and N339 produced lower heat generation compared to NR/SBR blends that filled with the same type of carbon black fillers. It shows that NR with low and high carbon black structures exhibits low heat build-up (surface and intrinsic) with a balance of good traction and low rolling resistance for application in tyre.

Abstract Double network elastomers were prepared by curing under strain previously-crosslinked natural rubber or styrene-butadiene copolymer. The rubbers were reinforced with carbon black, so that the conventional (singly-cured) materials exhibited a substantial Payne effect, reflecting agglomeration of the filler particles. This effect was much reduced in the double networks - the storage modulus varied more weakly with strain amplitude, and the mechanical hysteresis was substantially smaller. Comparable results were obtained for dynamic mechanical measurements employing different test geometries; that is, the effect is independent of the direction of the strain relative to the orientation of the double network. These results indicate that deformation during the imposition of a second network disrupts the carbon black agglomerates, and this deflocculated structure is stabilized by the second crosslinking. Thus, double network processing is a general means to lower the hysteresis of filled rubbers.

Carbon black ( CB ) and silica were used as two-component fillers to enhance the practicability of rubber. In this study, the microstructure, mechanical and dynamic properties of solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber ( SSBR ) vulcanizates filled with carbon black and silica were characterized. 50 phr of total hybrid fillers was used as the base. A series of experiments with different ratios of CB/silica were carried out to determine the best contribution to the performance of SSBR vulcanizates. The studies have shown that when the vulcanizates exhibited the better overall mechanical and dynamic performance with 20 phr silica loading and 30 phr CB loading.

The focus of this study is to investigate the effect of carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) latex on the dynamic rheologcial properties of paper coating suspensions modified with nanosized particles. The elastic storage modulus G′ and the viscid loss modulus G′′ are used to evaluate the dynamic rheologcial properties of paper coating suspensions. The effects of different amount carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber latex on the flow parameters of paper coating suspensions are comparatively presented. It is shown that the dynamic elastic storage modulus G′ and viscid loss modules G′′ of paper coating suspensions increase with the SBR content change from 13% to 18%. The dynamic rheologcial properties are related to the strength of the network structure of paper coating suspensions. It is also found that the elastic storage modulus G′ of paper coating suspensions is larger than viscid loss modulus G′′, which indicates that paper coating suspensions in this investigation all behave like a viscoelastic solid.

Abstract Dynamic mechanical properties such as storage modulus, loss modulus, and loss tangent have been evaluated over a wide range of temperatures for thermoplastic elastomers prepared from blends of NR and HDPE. It was observed that above room temperature, both storage and loss moduli increased and loss tangent decreased as the HDPE content in the blend increased. The effects of dynamic crosslinking and carbon black filler on dynamic mechanical behavior of 70/30 NR/HDPE blend were also examined. Carbon black increased the storage and loss moduli but lowered and broadened the tan δ peak. On the other hand, crosslinking increased storage modulus and decreased the loss modulus and loss tangent, particularly after the NR Tg. The tan δ peak area which appeared at Tg for NR was proportional to the rubber content in the blends.

Abstract The performance of butyl, chlorobutyl, bromobutyl, and brominated isobutylene-co-para-methylstyrene (BIMS) rubbers were evaluated versus a solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber with 20% bound styrene in model winter tire tread formulations containing natural rubber and butadiene rubber. Isobutylene-based elastomer performance was compared in carbon black-filled and silane-coupled silica-filled systems. Based on laboratory dynamic properties predictive of wet and winter traction, and on DIN abrasion index values, BIMS is the elastomer of choice affording increased tangent delta values between 0 °C and −40 °C, and the highest DIN abrasion index values of the isobutylene-based elastomers. Evaluation of BIMS / NR / BR blends in model compounds show its utility as a tread polymer for improving winter performance.

ABSTRACT The use of silica to partially replace carbon black is a common practice in the fabrication of “green tires.” Although some degree of consensus has been approached concerning the improved performance conferred by silica substitution, such as the improved dispersion of carbon black, a quantitative understanding of the relationship between filler networking and the performance of rubber composites has not been established. Thus, an investigation focusing on filler network structure and the correlation between the network structure and the reinforcement of rubber composites was conducted. We prepared solution-polymerized styrene–butadiene rubber (SSBR) reinforced by carbon black and carbon black/silica in different ratios. To exclude as much of the effect from changed crosslinking, and figure out how filler blending influences filler dispersion and filler network structure, the silane generally used in the tire industry was not adopted. The quantitative predictor, the mass fractal dimension df, was derived from the Kraus model and the Huber–Vilgis model. We found that when the amount of substituted silica increases, the filler cluster branching decreases, accompanied by increased reinforcement efficiency. The depressed filler networking induced by silica substitution at an appropriate proportion leads to improved dynamic properties, including lower rolling resistance and better wet skid. When the silica proportion in the filler is too high, severe filler networking is observed, resulting in decreased reinforcing efficiency and impaired dynamic properties.

Crosslink Densities

Abstract Chemical crosslink densities of gum and carbon black-filled natural rubber (NR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) were estimated by using a newly developed rheometer. The rheometer is the Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA 2000) which is designed specifically to measure dynamic properties such as shear storage modulus G′ and shear loss modulus G″ in cured and uncured rubber. It was found that the differences between the G′ values of dicumyl peroxide-cured NR and those of uncured samples yielded estimates of the crosslink densities which were nearly the same as the values inferred by chemical analysis. For TMTD-cured SBR, the same procedure yielded estimates of chemical crosslinks very close to those estimated by a tensile stress-strain method and by NMR. In addition, accelerated sulfur-cured natural rubber was also investigated. The agreement between the crosslink densities of these stocks determined from G′ values and from a solvent-swelling method was very good.

Abstract Measurements of the dynamic properties of carbon-black-filled rubber can be carried out on most instrumentation at strains within the limits of linear behavior; thus, assessments of acoustic performance can readily be made. The equivalence of small-strain dynamic-mechanical testing and acoustic measurements has been demonstrated herein. Blends of NR with a high concentration of 1,2-BR are attractive candidates for damping applications because of the extended frequency range of the glass to rubber transition. One approach to improving the magnitude of the damping is to incorporate high levels of carbon black into the material. Significant interaggregate interaction, promoted for example by a low degree of carbon-black dispersion, will amplify the energy dissipation. The strain dependence of the dynamic properties implicit in such an approach can result in a damping performance sensitive to deformation. The loss tangent rises significantly after such a deformation, while the loss modulus experiences a barely measurable decline. This sensitivity to deformation will thus impact more on constrained layer damping applications than on simple extensional damping. For the materials tested in the present study, complete recovery of the damage to the carbon-black network (which engenders the changes in dynamic mechanical properties) required more than a day at room temperature.
