Abstract
A study has been carried out on the curing characteristics and mechanical properties of carbon black filled dichlorocarbene modified styrene butadiene rubber (DCSBR). Processing characteristics such as optimum cure time and maximum torque increases with increasing of the concentration of carbon black in DCSBR whereas scorch time decreases. The mechanical properties and resistance of the vulcanizate towards thermal, flame and oil resistance have been carried out. Variation of bound rubber content of carbon black filled DCSBR and the influence of the extracting temperature on the bound rubber content was investigated and its activation energy was calculated from the Arrhenius plot. The reinforcing nature of the filler was assessed from stress strain and swelling data. The enhancement in mechanical properties was supported by data on the increased content of crosslink density in these samples obtained from swelling and stress strain analysis. The results of the studies indicate that carbon black can be used as a good reinforcing filler for DCSBR.
