Abstract Two types of composites based on natural rubber (NR) and strontium ferrite were tested in this study. Composites of the first type were prepared by incorporation of strontium ferrite in the concentration range ranging from 0 to 100 phr (parts per hundred rubber) into pure NR based rubber matrix, while with those of the second type, strontium ferrite was dosed in the same concentration level into NR based rubber batch with constant amount of carbon black — 25 phr. For rubber matrices cross-linking, a standard sulfur based curing system was used. This work is focused on the effect of magnetic filler content on physico-mechanical, magnetic and thermo-physical properties of composite materials. Subsequently, the cross-link density and the structure of the formed sulfidic cross-links were examined. The results showed that the cross-link density of both types of composites increased with the increasing content of magnetic filler, while the structure of the sulfidic cross-links was almost not influenced by the amount of strontium ferrite. Tensile strength of rubber composites with pure rubber matrix was slightly improved by the incorporation of ferrite, while in case of composites based on a carbon black batch, the incorporation of magnetic filler resulted in the decrease of this characteristic. The presence of magnetic filler in both types of composites leads to a significant increase of the remanent magnetic induction.

We demonstrate that the fracture energy of ionogels correlates inversely with the cross-link density. The behavior of ionogels is well captured by the ideal elastomeric gel model.

Abstract It is well-known that the properties of cross-linked rubbers are strongly affected by the cross-link density. In this work it is shown that for thermoreversibly cross-linked elastomers, the type and length of the cross-linker also have a significant effect. A homologous series of diamine and bismaleimide cross-linkers was used to cross-link maleic-anhydride-grafted EPM irreversibly and furan-modified EPM thermoreversibly, respectively. Bismaleimide cross-linkers with a polarity close to that of EPM and a relatively low melting point have a better solubility in the rubber matrix, which results in higher chemical conversion and, thus, higher cross-link densities at the same molar amount of cross-linker. Samples cross-linked with different spacers (aromatic and aliphatic spacers of different lengths) were compared at the same cross-link density to interpret the effects on the material properties. The rigid character of the short aliphatic and the aromatic cross-linkers accounts for the observed increase in hardness, Young´s modulus and tensile strength with respect to the longer, more flexible aliphatic cross-linkers. In conclusion, the structure of the cross-linking agent can be considered as an alternative variable in tuning the rubber properties, especially for thermoreversibly cross-linked rubber.

Rubber magnetic composites were prepared by incorporation of strontium ferrite in concentration scale ranging from 0 phr to 100 phr into rubber matrices based on natural rubber (NR) and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR). The composite systems were exposed to the conditions of thermooxidative aging at 70°C for 7, 14, and 28 days. The influence of aging period on the behavior of prepared materials was considered based on investigation of their cross-link density, physical–mechanical, and magnetic characteristics. The results revealed that the influence of thermooxidative aging on composite characteristics is dependent on the type of rubber matrix. The thermooxidative aging was found to have negative effect on the cross-link density and tensile properties of composites based on NR, which were deteriorated in dependence of aging time. The possible influence of magnetic filler content on aging mechanism was observed during last period of aging after which the decrease in cross-link density and tensile characteristics was more pronounced with increasing content of strontium ferrite. By contrast, the cross-link density, modulus, and hardness of composites based on NBR were found to be positively influenced by aging as their values showed increasing trend with extension of aging period.
