Abstract A system of analysis has been described which permits determining the type of rubber grade carbon black in a vulcanizate. The carbon black is removed from the vulcanizate by vacuum pyrolysis at 850° C and its reflectance after acid washing and compression at 15,000 psi and apparent specific volume at 703 psi are determined. These measurements permit estimation of particle size and “structure.” Supplementary analyses are required for channel blacks. The procedure is most precise when the analytical values are compared with analogous data obtained from carbon blacks of known properties when removed by the same procedure from similar vulcanizates. As in all qualitative analyses, the more information which is available to the analyst, the more reliably he is able to interpret his results.

Abstract A du Pont 990 differential scanning calorimeter was modified to measure thermal conductivity of elastomer vulcanizates. The method is quick and reproducible and is recommended for scouting research of polymeric materials. The thermal conductivity λ values obtained by this method of some known materials compare favorably with those in the literature. Carbon black increases λ values in all elastomers. Particle size and structure of carbon black seem to affect λ values erratically, although the trend is towards higher λ values with larger particle size and higher structure. A linear relationship of λ vs. volume concentration of carbon blacks and other fillers is observed, except at a very high concentration. The extrapolated values of λ for a filler differ in different elastomeric media. Noncompatible elastomer blends increase or decrease λ values according to the nature and proportion of elastomers. The effect of the manner of addition of carbon black does not seem to affect the λ value of compatible blends. Higher temperatures decrease λ values for all the vulcanizates studied.

Abstract A simple technique of sample preparation using dry carbon black samples has been developed which gives a carbon black surface of reasonably reproducible reflectance, using a commercially available and reasonably priced reflectance meter. The reflectance values were calibrated against particle size determined by Kraus and Rollmann using the calorimetric procedure of Harkins and Jura.
