Abstract This paper discusses the structural changes that occur during the accelerated sulfur vulcanization of styrene-butadiene rubbers (SBR) through characterization of the network sulfide structures influenced by the curing agent concentration, the polymer microstructure, and the nature of the filler. Magic angle spinning (MAS) 13C FT - NMR spectroscopy was used to investigate the chemical crosslink properties of unfilled vulcanized SBR in addition to carbon black and silica filled polybutadiene rubber (BR), SBR, and 1:1 BR / SBR blends. New resonances in the 13C NMR spectrum are assigned to the various sulfide crosslink structures in SBR. Structural changes during vulcanization are also discussed.

Abstract A new quantitative expression has been derived in order to estimate the styrene-butadiene ratio from the 13C-NMR olefinic resonances. With the help of this expression, the cis-1,4, trans-1,4, vinyl-1,2, butadiene and styrene ratios could be determined. From the aliphatic region, subsequently, the ethylene and propylene contents could be determined and finally the SBR/EPDM blend ratio. From the 13C-solid-state-NMR spectrum, no evidence could be obtained for homo- or co-vulcanization. The 13C-NMR spectra of the blends are simply a co-addition of the 13C-NMR solution spectra of SBR and EPDM rubbers. No evidence has been found for cis-1,4/trans-1,4 ratio changes for SBR (in comparison to the starting material).
