Dependent Factor

Abstract It is shown that various modulus values of carbon black reinforced rubber are functions of the product of the actual black loading and a structure dependent factor. The structure factor appears to be a linear function of the so-called 24M4 value of the dibutylphthalate absorption and is independent of elongation, temperature, and degree of cross-linking over the ranges covered by the data reported. An interpretation of the results is offered based on the idea of polymer occluded in the interstices of primary structure aggregates and thereby shielded from deformation. Structure-concentration equivalence can only be demonstrated with carbon blacks differing in (primary) structure alone. Deviations are observed whenever the carbon blacks compared vary significantly in specific surface area and surface chemical activity.

Carbon Blacks

Abstract The deformation behavior of carbon black-filled vulcanizates depends—after elimination of the influence of the differences in chemical activity of the carbon black—on the product of the specific surface P of the carbon black and the nth power of its volume concentration c; for the correlation of the modulus M100, the Shore hardness, and the rebound elasticity the value n=2 was found. This statement holds true for carbon blacks of similar structure levels and of small enough specific surface that one can assume that it will not agglomerate to an appreciable extent.

Abstract Carbon blacks are composed of spherical particles which are to varying degrees arranged in chainlike structures. This type of particle association, which is readily seen in electron photomicrographs of most carbon blacks, can be termed “primary structure”. The use of the term “structure” to describe interparticle association must not be confused with the basic intraparticle structure of an atomic crystallographic nature. There is strong evidence that primary structure units, and possibly individual particles, can further associate or flocculate in fluid or elastomeric systems. This is a secondary type of structure formation which can be readily disrupted under the influence of mechanical strain. Some investigators have used the term “structure” to describe this strain-sensitive flocculation behavior. It is suggested here that carbon blacks possess both primary structure features and the ability to form secondary structures by flocculation in dispersed systems. The tendency to form secondary structures is probably greater with carbon blacks possessing a high degree of primary structure. Unless otherwise specified, the term “structure” in this paper will be used in the sense of primary structure. The structure of carbon blacks is thought to originate in the flame by the agglomeration of growing carbon nuclei and particles. The appearance of electron micrographs of carbon blacks lends some support to the assumption of simultaneous agglomeration and growth processes. Carbon blacks having a broad particle size distribution are characterized by carbon black chains, where each chain is composed of particles of the same size, rather than a randomized distribution of various sized carbon black particles. Thus, these chainlike structures must result from the continued growth of agglomerates formed from neighboring carbon particles at the same stage of their growth history. This process results in a chemical fusing of these particles as layers of new carbon are deposited on the surfaces of actively growing agglomerates.

Bound rubber in carbon black (CB) filled rubber (natural rubber (NR) and styrene–butadiene rubber (SBS)) was prepared by the solvent method. The nanomorphology of CB and rubber/CB soluble rubber was observed by atomic force microscope. The results show that high-structure CB DZ13 has a "grape cluster" structure which consists of many original particles with the grain size of about 30–50 nm. Graphitizing process of CB decreases the amount of bound rubber. The NR/DZ13 soluble rubber with island–rim structure has been obtained, where the islands are DZ13 particles and the rims around the islands are occupied by NR film. But when the graphitized DZ13 particles were used as fillers of rubber, we have only observed that some graphitized DZ13 particles were deposited on the surface of the globular-like NR molecular chains, instead of the spreading of NR molecular chains along the surface of DZ13 particles, indicating that graphitized DZ13 has lower chemical activity than ungraphitized DZ13. Especially, we have already observed an interesting unusual bound rubber phenomenon, the blocked "bracelet" structure with the diameter of about 600 nm in which CB particles were blocked in ring-shaped SBS monomer.

The Cross

A model of rubber with a cross-linked rubber layer on a carbon black filler has been proposed. The cross-links are the result of free radical reactions generated by carbon atoms with unpaired electrons at the edge of graphitic sheets in a carbon black filler. The experimental study of the cross-linking reactions in polyisoprene was done on a flat carbonized surface after ion beam implantation. The cross-linking process in the polyisoprene macromolecules between two particles was simulated. The model with a cross-linked rubber layer on a carbon filler as a “glassy layer” explains the mechanical properties of the rubber materials.

The modified Kozeny equation has been found to be satisfactory for the measurement of the specific surfaces of carbon blacks having average particle diameters ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 μ to within ±10%. Comparative data were obtained from electron microscope counting and from low temperature nitrogen adsorption isotherms. The three methods examined gave results that were in satisfactory agreement, except when the carbon black was porous, and then the adsorption value was extremely large.

And Performance

Abstract Racing tires and motorcycle tires present individual segments of the tire market. For instance, while the average life of car and truck tires is 50 000 miles, the average life of race tires is 100 miles. Because tires play a critical role in a race, technical demands to assure safety and performance are growing. Similarly, tires have a large influence on safety, handling/grip, and performance of the rapidly growing world fleet of motorcycles, due to the fact of only two wheels being in contact with the ground. Thus, the common feature of both market segments is that the typical tire compromise of wear, rolling resistance, and traction is strongly weighted toward traction. Most of the recent efforts of rubber scientists have been directed toward lowering rolling resistance of the tread compounds, which left a certain void in the science of compounding for racing and motorcycle treads. Particularly, the industrial assortment of polymers and fillers used for motorcycle treads is commonly different from that used for car or truck treads, but it is not known how the filler properties affect the hysteresis–stiffness compromise. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of the carbon black characteristics on the important properties of a typical racing and motorcycle tire tread compound. More than 50 individual carbon blacks were mixed in a SBR formulation. The acquired data were statistically analyzed, and a linear multiple regression model was developed to relate rubber properties (responses), such as static modulus, complex dynamic modulus, hysteresis, and viscosity to the key carbon black characteristics (variables) of surface area, structure, aggregate size distribution, and surface activity. Prediction profiles created from the model demonstrate rubber performance limits for the range of carbon blacks tested, and indicate the niches to provide required combinations of the rubber properties.

Channel Type

The production of carbon black in an experimental plant of the channel type is described. Carbon black has been produced from Turner Valley dry gas in yields as high as 1.3 lb. per 1000 cu. ft. The rubber reinforcing properties, methylene blue sorption, and per cent extractable are similar to those of the commercial carbon blacks available at present. The presence of hydrogen sulphide in the gas has been examined, but little effect on yields and properties was noticed with concentrations as high as 1% by volume.
