Abstract:

In this work, to study the utilization of zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA) in sulfur vulcanized styrene butadiene rubber (SBR). The compounds were prepared by two roll mill mixer. Crosslink density and crosslink types were determined with an equilibrium swelling method. Physical properties and heat aging resistance were studied. The results shows that increase of ZDMA will decrease cure rate index and crosslink density which lead to decreased in 300% modulus and hardness. However, the addition of ZDMA can improve tensile strength, tear strength, elongation at break and heat aging resistance.
