Abstract Prediction of tread wear from laboratory tests can be a valuable guide in the development of improved carbon blacks and controlling the quality of normal production. We have developed two tests which give good correlation with actual road wear data on over 100 experimental blacks. One test involves running Akron angle abrasion on a compound with only 30 phr of carbon black where differences in abrasion resistance are magnified. The other test measures surface activity towards the polymer by determining bound rubber content of a heat-treated nonproductive mix. By using both tests together, tread wear ratings of blacks used in this study could be predicted almost as well as by a single, controlled, multisectional road test with five tires run for 8000–10,000 miles.

Abstract It has been seen from the above survey that a few of the treadwear predictor correlations have the required accuracy to provide a satisfactory alternative to road testing of tires for the wear performance of carbon blacks, depending on requirements and circumstances. Correlations based on laboratory rubber testing of rubber mixes and tread compounds are to be preferred over those based solely on carbon black colloidal and morphological measurements. In the author's opinion, Cotten and Dannenberg's correlation of treadwear index with Angle Abrasion measurements of 30 phr compounds and heated bound rubber, and Westlinning and Wolff's correlation with rebound resilience, and the Monsanto Rheometer determination of αF are satisfactory in most instances for the prediction of the treadwear index behavior of carbon blacks.

Two sprout-damaged wheat lots with the falling number values of 91 and 65 were heat-treated by immersing the grain in water of temperatures of 80, 85, 90 and 100°C, followed by rapid chilling in water. The purpose of the treatment was to suppress the excess a-amylase activity in the outer layers of the kernels. The a-amylase activity following the treatment was measured by the falling number test. The increase in the falling number value was the greater the longer the treatment lasted and the higher the water temperature was. Processing lasting 30 sec at 80, 85, 90 and 100°C increased the falling number value of the one lot from 91 to 105, 117, 133 and 238 and of the other lot from 65 to 69, 70, 98, 163, respectively. As the falling numbers increased the wet gluten content of the samples decreased. These changes had a negative correlation. The gluten quality showed heat damage when the amount of gluten had dropped by about 5 and 2 precentage units in the lots with the falling numbers 91 and 65, respectively. This occurred at processing of the lot of better quality for 70, 20, 13 and 6 sec in the order of increasing temperature. The corresponding durations for the other lot were above 60, 30, 20 and 6 sec. During these treatments the falling number values rose from 91 to 104—129 and from 65 to 70—71. These results were confirmed by farinogram and extensigram determinations and by baking tests. The same processing conditions affected more severely the lot having the better initial quality than the lot with greater sprout damages.

Railway route from entity border to Maglaj is on corridor V of railways that connects Adriatic seawith European Union countries. More precisely, it is on the railway Samac – Sarajevo that was builtduring the fifties. From Doboj to Zenica exist two tracks, one built in 1947. and the other thirty yearslater. In time, the railway worn out, since it was not maintained properly during its exploitation, soallowed train speed is 40 km/h. Reconstruction of railway had previously started on sections with aimto achieve the level of train speed to 120 km/h.Terrain research in order to overview quality of material on which the railway is laid, and immediateenvironment that has effect on railway route, were conducted by sections, from which section km103+500 – Maglaj is one of the most important considering characteristics of the terrain on which theroute passes. Research along railway route were conducted by using research trial pits from both sidesand in between tracks, to depth of entry in basic soil. Depth of research works is different for old andnew track, considering the way of construction in time period of 30 years. Beyond narrow corridor ofrailway route research of characteristics of the terrain were not conducted, because of inability toaccess due to mining. Results of terrain and laboratory tests showed geotechnical characteristics ofmaterial, based on which were given quality improvement measures for deposited materials, and basefor reconstruction of railway.

In this paper we report the electrochemical behavior of heat-treated carbon blacks and Pt/C catalysts. Cyclic voltammetry indicates that the heat-treated carbon black as catalyst support does not improve the Pt/C catalyst's activity for methanol oxidation. An XPS study of a Pt-loaded carbon black indicates that the amounts of oxidized platinum and oxygen-functional groups on catalysts are decreased when the platinum particles are deposited on the heat-treated carbon surface. These changes in the surface and crystalline structural properties of carbon materials lead to the catalytic activity change in methanol electro-oxidation.

Abstract A method for determining the accelerator adsorption properties of carbon blacks is described. This method is novel in that an extremely dilute solution of diphenylguanidine in benzene is employed. Application of the test to a large number of carbon blacks has revealed its practical value as a measure of those variations in adsorption properties which are of teal significance to the rubber manufacturer. The method has been employed in several separate control laboratories and it has been found to be of distinct value in indicating quality of production. Since the results can be interpreted without knowledge of source or history of the particular carbon black being tested, the test can be employed for control purposes by the rubber manufacturer as well as by the carbon black manufacturer.

Acetylene Carbon Black

An experimental study has been made of the adsorption of a nitrogen, sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and ammonia on Shawinigan acetylene carbon black and several derivatives of this material produced by heat treatment up to temperatures of 3000°. The effect of the heat treatment of the Shawinigan carbon black on its adsorption of the polar and non-polar gases studied is compared with the behavior of other heat treated carbon blacks. In particular, the effect of the low oxygen content of the Shawinigan black is considered. The isosteric heats of adsorption for ammonia on the most highly graphitized material (Shawinigan 3000) have been calculated. The results are in general agreement with previous calorimetric work of this laboratory. A special type of hysteresis for the system ammonia – Shawinigan black has been observed. This may be due to a reversible swelling of the graphitic material.

Abstract SBR compounds were filled with 17 carbon blacks covering the whole range of rubber grades and tested for bound-rubber content. It was found that the bound-rubber content of a polymer at high loadings is higher for large surface-area carbon blacks. On the other hand, the bound-rubber content per unit of interfacial area in the compound (specific bound-rubber content) decreases with increasing specific surface area and filler loading. This observation was interpreted in terms of interaggregate multiple molecular adsorption, filler agglomeration, and change of molecular weight of rubber during mixing. When the comparison was carried out at critical loading of a coherent mass, the specific bound-rubber content was found to be higher for the high-surface-area products which are characterized by high surface energies. The critical loading of coherent mass of bound rubber also shows a strong surface-area dependence, indicating that large particle carbon blacks give high critical loadings. The measurements of bound rubber at high temperatures for carbon-black-filled compounds and in an ammonia atmosphere for silica-filled compounds suggest that bound rubber is caused essentially by physical adsorption.

Abstract Carbon black N110 and a precipitated silica, which have comparable surface area and structure, were selected as model fillers to study the effect of filler surface energies on rubber reinforcement. In comparison with carbon black, the surface energies of silica are characterized by a lower dispersive component, γsd, and higher specific component, γssp. It was found that the high γssp of silica leads to strong interaggregate interaction, resulting in higher viscosity of the compounds, higher αƒ, and higher moduli of the vulcanizates at small strain. The higher γsd of carbon black, in contrast, causes strong filler—polymer interaction, which is reflected in a higher bound-rubber content of the compounds and higher moduli of the vulcanizates at high elongation.

Abstract 1. Carbon-rubber gels are formed in mixtures containing all the types of carbon black tested (channel, acetylene, nozzle, furnace, thermal) and not only active carbons. 2. The amount of carbon-rubber gel formed depends on the amount of carbon black added. With carbon blacks which readily form continuous carbon structures (channel, acetylene) the amounts of gel are greater than with nonstructural blacks, for the same amount of black added. 3. The amount of gel is greater in synthetic than in natural rubber mixtures. 4. More intense extraction conditions do not cause disappearance of the gel, but increase the amount of bound rubber and decrease the amount of carbon in the gel. 5. The carbon-rubber gels formed from structural carbons contain larger amounts of bound rubber. 6. It is suggested that bond stability between carbon black particles (characterized by the formation of a carbon black structure) is one of the basic causes of carbon-rubber gel formation.
