A new type of tetraphenylborate salts derived from highly basic and nucleophilic amines, namely 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN), 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene (DBU) and triazabicyclodecene (TBD), was applied to the preparation of networked poly(thiourethane)s (PTUs), which showed a vitrimer-like behavior, with higher stress-relaxation rates than PTUs prepared by using dibutyl thin dilaurate (DBTDL) as the catalyst. The use of these salts, which release the amines when heated, instead of the pure amines, allows the formulation to be easily manipulated to prepare any type of samples. The materials prepared from stoichiometric mixtures of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), trithiol (S3) and with a 10% of molar excess of isocyanate or thiol were characterized by FTIR, thermomechanical analysis, thermogravimetry, stress-relaxation tests and tensile tests, thus obtaining a complete thermal and mechanical characterization of the materials. The recycled materials obtained by grinding the original PTUs and hot-pressing the small pieces in the optimized time and temperature conditions were fully characterized by mechanical, thermomechanical and FTIR studies. This allowed us to confirm their recyclability, without appreciable changes in the network structure and performance. From several observations, the dissociative interchange trans-thiocarbamoylation mechanism was evidenced as the main responsible of the topological rearrangements at high temperature, resulting in a vitrimeric-like behavior.

Abstract Intermittent stress relaxation is well suited for quantifying aging processes in rubber. For NR, the effects of different antioxidants can be measured by the rates at which the modulus falls. In synthetic rubbers (SBR, NBR, and CR), it can be measured through the modulus increases caused by oxygen crosslinking. Equal-value times, e.g., t0.75 for NR and t1.25 for SBR, NBR, and CR, are the times taken by the modulus to decrease or increase to a given percentage of its original level. They are better measures of aging than the modulus change after a given time. For NR, it has been shown that stress relaxation measurements at elevated temperatures and in pure oxygen correlate with the results of conventional aging methods. Thus the testing times can be drastically reduced—from up to 28 days to 1–8 hours. Discontinuous stress relaxation measurements are considerably more accurate and selective than conventional oxygen aging. For the repeatability of a single equal-value time measurement, we obtained a coefficient of variation (s/x) of 5–10% for stress relaxation measurement and about ±20% for oxygen aging. The degree of selectivity for oxygen aging and stress relaxation was found to be 3.6 and 18, respectively. The correlation between the results of stress relaxation measurements and those of the conventional oxygen and hot air aging tests was investigated for a large number of NR compounds and for some SBR, NBR, and CR compounds. The correlation is not very good, but it must be remembered that the equal-value times determined according to the two methods show relatively pronounced variability. With the conventional aging methods, the results also depend on what quantity is measured, e.g., the change in tensile strength or hardness, and on what equal-value time is chosen, e.g., the time taken by the property concerned to decrease to 90 or 75% of its original value. The conclusion of the investigations described above is that intermittent modulus measurement is an interesting high-speed method for the assessment of aging behavior. It will acquire a firm position in the arsenal of rubber testing methods, but will probably supplement, and not completely replace, the aging methods currently used.

Abstract The Batch Condition Control System has been shown to give good batch-to-batch repeatability of both viscous flow behavior and crosslinking characteristics for both fixed speed and variable speed mixing. It has also been shown to be capable of adjusting the mixing treatment to compensate for substantial changes in the properties of NR. Stress-relaxation results showed unexpectedly broad distributions. Lack of a comprehensive history of stress-relaxation results from the Negretti TMS biconical rotor rheometer makes it difficult to reach firm conclusions. The results for highly filled and thixotropic compounds are not comparable with those from other stress relaxometers such as the Monsanto SRPT and the BFGoodrich DSR, due to the small initial strain imposed on the sample by these instruments. Two possible causes of the broad distributions can be identified: 1) The sensitivity of the stress relaxation measurement. 2) The mode of flow in the chamber of a Farrel Banbury Mixer.
