Abstract
Bound rubber (BdR) is considered as a measure of the filler–polymer interaction in rubber compounds. The variation of the BdR content with storage time was studied in chlorobutyl compounds filled with fillers like carbon black, carbon–silica dual phase filler (CSDPf), silica, and nanoclays. The effect of the addition of a silane coupling agent on the BdR in carbon black and silica filled compounds was also studied. The BdR content increased with storage time in all compounds. The increase in BdR was higher during the initial 15 days of storage. Thereafter there was only a marginal increase. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 102: 715–720, 2006
