Technical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, ultimate elongation, and rebound resilience are popular in quality control, but the trend in these properties shows a generalized picture of the structure-property relations. Test specimens were aged in hot air by systematically varying the ti

β¦ Synopsis
Typical formulations based on NBR (acrylonitrile butadiene rubber), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber), and a NBR-CR (polychloroprene rubber) blend were studied for various properties under accelerated air aging conditions. The trend in tensile properties indicated the propensity of these formulations to oxidative degradation. The derivatives of these properties, such as their retention indices, strain energy, and Mooney-Rivlin constants also showed similar trends. Some of the observations correlate to shelf-aging data, but the time to rupture data derived from ultimate elongation values did not provide tangible conclusions.

A new method has been developed for measuring the number of molecules of oxygen required ( 6 ) to cause a main chain scission in peroxide vulcanisates of natural rubber. This method is based on experimentally derived relationships and is not dependent on statistical theories of rubber elasticity. Th
The oxidation characteristics of protected and unprotected vulcanizates from natural rubber have been examined. With unpurified rubber (RSS1) in the presence or absenee of added antioxidants the rate of oxidation of the VulCSnizates is: rmaccelerakd sulfur > accelerated sulfur > TMTD sulfurless or E
