β¦ Synopsis
The effect of several compounding ingredients on the reversion of accelerated sulphur vulcanization of natural rubber (NR) has been examined, Accelerators which normally provide fast cures are found to cause more severe reversion than slower accelerators. MgCO3, CaCO3, silica and China clay all increase reversion but the severity depends on the accelerated system employed. Generally, antidegradants increase reversion, the effect being more prominent with 2-mercaptobenzimidazole. Reversion appears to be typical only for the polyisoprene structure and it can be overcome by blending with SBR at appropriate ratios.

## Abstract Data presented for a range of vulcanized rubbers prepared under different conditions show that while olefinic unsaturation becomes reduced by vulcanization in the proportion of one double bond for each sulphur atom combined with a C~5~Hβunit, the original H/C ratio of 8/5 is not altered
The effect of zinc oxide on the vulcanization enthalpy of various sulphur vulcanization systems has been studied. The enthalpy-zinc oxide plots reveal minima in the natural rubbe~sulphur unaccelerated system as well as in the synthetic polyisoprene-sulphur unaccelerated system, containing extracts o
