Natural Rubber Vulcanizates

Abstract The thermal and photochemical aging of extracted dicumyl peroxide-, TMTD (sulfurless)- and santocure-vulcanized rubber, in presence of a number of metal and alkylammonium dithiocarbamates, has been investigated by measurements of stress relaxation. The dithiocarbamates have a considerable protective action upon the degradation of peroxide- and TMTD-vulcanizates, but they accelerate stress decay in santocure-accelerated vulcanizates. The reasons for this behavior are discussed. It is suggested that the excellent aging properties of unextracted TMTD vulcanizates are due to the presence of zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate formed during vulcanization.

Natural Rubber Vulcanizates

Abstract Crosslinking junctions of natural rubber vulcanizates were characterized by high-resolution latex-state 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Vulcanized natural rubber latex was prepared by two methods: i.e., vulcanization of the rubber latex and cryogenic crushing of a rubber sheet vulcanized on a hot press. High-resolution latex-state 13C-NMR spectroscopy was attained even after vulcanization of the rubber latex, as is evident from no background in spectrum and narrow half width of signals independent of vulcanization time. Small signals at 44 ppm and 57 ppm in the aliphatic carbon region were assigned by measurements of both Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT) and Attached Proton Test (APT) to secondary and tertiary carbons of crosslinking points. The assignment was proved by high-resolution solution-state NMR spectroscopy of vulcanized liquid cis-1,4-polyisoprene as a model, in which DEPT, APT, 2-dimensional 1H-1H correlation (H-H COSY), 2-dimensional 1H-13C correlation (H-C COSY) and 2-dimensional heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) measurements were applied.

Abstract Stress-strain measurements were performed on dry and swollen natural rubber vulcanizates prepared using both sulfur as the crosslinking agent and aromatic-based bound antioxidants acting as a second crosslinking agent. The aromatic-based antioxidants were synthesized and analyzed spectroscopically in order to relate the final behavior of the vulcanizates to the nature of the crosslink characteristics. The anomalous upturn in the modulus values of these networks in response to the imposed stress was shown to persist in the dry as well as the swollen state. Since the swollen elastomeric chains cannot undergo a strain-induced crystallization, the abnormal upturns in the modulus values in an absence of a filler were explained on the basis of the limited extensibility of the short chains of networks prepared using two different crosslinking agents in line with earlier modeling predictions. Remarkably, the swelling experiments revealed the increase in the crosslink density of the networks in the early stages of the thermal oxidative degradation procedure indicating a post-cure of the chemically bound antioxidants to the elastomeric chains, which incidentally corresponds to a maximum in the modulus values of the networks. The rheological and other mechanical properties such as the hardness were shown not to have been affected as a result of the incorporation of the chemically bound antioxidants.

Natural Rubber Vulcanizates

Abstract A natural rubber vulcanizate containing almost entirely monosulfidic crosslinks was oxidized in oxygen and with tert-butyl hydroperoxide. The changes in physical properties due to oxidation were followed by stress—strain measurements, and the changes in chemical structure were investigated with chemical probes, and by spectroscopic methods. The results show that when the oxidized vulcanizates are heated at 75° C, the monosulfidic crosslinks are broken, that crosslinks containing two sulfur atoms are formed, and that conjugated diene and triene structures are introduced into the main polyisoprene chains.
