Oxidative Degradation Monitoring of Natural Rubber Using S K-Edge X-Ray Absorption near-Edge Spectroscopy (XANES)

Abstract:

In this work, we present the results of sulfur crosslinking and degradation in natural rubber (NR) studied by X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy (XANES). Sulfur K-edge XANES spectra has been collected and analyzed to provide the geometry and electronic environment of sulfur crosslinks during vulcanization and degradation processes by ozone aging. We found that reversion took place before the onset of oxidative process at the sulfur bridge. Parallel to the oxidative process, the production of cyclic sulfanes took places. This physico-chemical properties which were calculated from S K-edge XANES spectra were correlated with the mechanical of NR films by varying accelerator type. The accelerator zinc diethyldithiocarbamate (ZDEC) gave highest film strength when compared with other accelerators: N-cyclohexylbenzothiazole sulfenamide (CBS), 2,2' dibenzothiazyl disulfide (MBTS), and tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD).
