Investigation of Un-Vulcanized Natural Rubber by Means of Temperature Scanning Stress Relaxation Measurements

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two different types of un-vulcanized natural rubber, air dried sheets (ADS) and SVR-3L block rubber, were investigated by a new testing method and the results are compared with other mechanical properties. It was found that green strength is strongly reduced if the sample is ther­mal­ly treated before testing. Presumably, the decrease of strength is caused by a decrease of branch points, mainly composed of phospholipids, which are linked to the a - terminal groups of the rubber molecules. The existence of two different types of branch points is indicated by relaxation spectra, obtained from temperature scanning stress relaxation (TSSR) measurements.
