Elastomeric magnetic composites were prepared by incorporation of strontium ferrite into polymer matrices based on natural as well as butadiene rubber. Besides the rubber and ferrite, or the combinations of ferrite and carbon black (in case of natural rubber), the model rubber compounds contained only ingredients which support curing process. The study was dedicated to the observation of fillers dispersion degree in the rubber matrices and investigation of physical-mechanical and magnetic properties of prepared composites. The results indicate that the dispersion degree of ferrite in the rubber matrices is not very high, but it can be positively influenced by the addition of carbon black. Despite of the fact that ferrite exhibits only low reinforcing effect on cross-linked elastomeric materials, physical-mechanical properties can be also positively influenced by the mutual change in combinations of both fillers (ferrite and carbon black). The prepared materials seem to have suitable magnetic and elastic properties.

A specially designed relaxometer was used to measure the stress relaxation under 30% elongation for tread rubber compounds based on a blend of three rubbers: natural rubber, neodymium butadiene rubber, and oil-extended styrene butadiene rubber. The rubber compounds were filled with carbon black and silica in different ratios: with 80 parts carbon black only, with 80 parts silica only, and with different ratios of carbon black and silica. The method proposed by Bartenev was used to calculate the relaxation specta. The maxima of the spectra at different relaxation times were assigned to different types of interaction: rubber-filler interaction, carbon black-carbon black interaction, silica-silica interaction, carbon black-silica interaction. New maxima were obtained for specimens containing roughly equal amounts of carbon black and silica. These results were compared with data obtained using transmission electron microscopy. The existence of three levels of structure of filled elastomers and the presence of ‘rigid’ rubber around filler particles are suggested.

Carbon black has been the most important active filler in rubber technology for decades. In recent years, however, the use of silica to produce rubber compounds has been on the increase. In combination with sulfur-containing silanes (e.g. TESP, bis(triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfane, trade name SI69), precipitated silicas now have an established place among the raw materials for the production of abrasion-resistant, elastic and fatigue-resistant elastomeric materials. Less well known, however, is the use of silica products produced by flame hydrolysis, such as Aerosil, which can significantly improve the mechanical properties of many elastomer formulations.

In this study, feasibility of using epoxidized soyabean oil (ESO) and n-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine modified ESO (pA-m-ESO) as rubber processing oil in a formulation of carbon black filled acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) compound was investigated. It is seen that properties of the NBR compounds (i.e., total mixing energy, dump temperature, Mooney viscosity and curing characteristic) with using the DOP and the ESO were comparable, unlike the compound with using the pA-m-ESO. However, after vulcanization the NBR vulcanizate with using the DOP showed superior modulus, tensile strength and hardness than those of the others. This is due to interaction between the processing oil and the NBR phases as well as reinforcing effect of the carbon black on NBR molecules. However, no differences of dispersion and distribution of carbon black in the NBR vulcanizates with varying types of processing oil were observed.

Carbon black-reinforced rubber compounds based on the blends of natural rubber (NR) and butadiene rubber (BR) for tire sidewall applications were formulated to investigate the self-healing efficacy of a modifier called EMZ. This modifier is based on epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) modified with hydrolyzed maleic anhydride (HMA) as the ester crosslinking agent plus zinc acetate dihydrate (ZAD) as the transesterification catalyst. The influence of EMZ modifier content in sidewall compounds on processing characteristics, reinforcement, mechanical and fatigue properties, as well as property retentions, was investigated. Increasing the content of EMZ, the dump temperatures and Mooney viscosities of the compounds slightly increase, attributed to the presence of extra polymer networks and filler–rubber interactions. The bound rubber content and Payne effect show a good correction that essentially supports that the EMZ modifier gives enhanced filler–rubber interaction and reduced filler–filler interaction, reflecting the improved homogeneity of the composites. This is the key contribution to a better flex cracking resistance and a high fatigue-to-failure resistance when utilizing the EMZ modifier. To validate the property retentions, molecular damages were introduced to vulcanizates using a tensile stress–strain cyclic test following the Mullins effect concept. The property retentions are significantly enhanced with increasing EMZ content because the EMZ self-healing modifier provides reversible or dynamic ester linkages that potentially enable a bond-interchange mechanism of the crosslinks, leading to the intermolecular reparation of the rubber network.
