Abstract Results of bound rubber determination, Monsanto rheometry, solvent swelling studies and measurement of physical properties reveal that high temperature molding of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) filled with intermediate super abrasion furnace (ISAF) carbon black and surface oxidized ISAF carbon black, in the presence of silane coupling agent, namely, N-(4-vinylbenzyl)-N′-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethane-1,2-diamine monoHCl salt, results in crosslinking of the rubber phase, even in the absence of the vulcanizing agents. Infrared spectroscopic studies show formation of silyl ether, in the case of ISAF carbon black, whereas the oxidized grade forms both silyl ether as well as silyl ester and amide linkage. Oxidation of ISAF carbon black causes an increase in the extent of coupling bond formation.

Reinforcement Efficiency

Parallel studies on the influence of epoxide contents in epoxidized natural rubbers (ENRs) in the absence of bis-(triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide (TESPT) coupling agent, as well as a combination of ENRs with different loadings of TESPT on the properties of ENR compounds, are carried out in this work. The results suggests that the best possible combination to optimize processibility and to improve reinforcement efficiency is to utilize ENR with an epoxide content in the range of 20 30 mol%, together with 2 4 wt% relative to the silica content of TESPT. This leads to a reduction of TESPT when compared to the conventional natural rubber compounds.

ABSTRACT In an attempt to reduce the high volatile organic compound (ethanol) emissions from silica-reinforced NR compounds, this work aimed to, at least partially, replace the use of large quantities of silane coupling agent bis-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide (TESPT). The use of 7.5 phr of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR-51) as compatibilizer between NR and silica enhances the properties, which can be further improved by half or even lower amounts than required with TESPT alone. The properties obtained with TESPT are nearly matched, except for steric limitations imposed upon the ENR molecules to cap the silanol groups on the silica surface to the same extent as TESPT can do. Furthermore, TESPT donates reactive elemental sulfur to the compound during vulcanization, which needs to be compensated for in use with ENR.
