Abstract

Influence of a silane coupling agent on the reatraction behaviors of NR vulcanizates reinforced with carbon black and c lay was studied. Bis-(3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl )-tetrasulfide (TESPT) was used as a silane coupling agent. The vulcanizates containing the silane coupling agent were, on the whole, recovered faster than those without the silane coupling agent. However, for the vulcanizate with the higher clay content at low temperature region (below $-12^{\circ}C$), the vulcanizate containing the silane coupling agent was recovered slower than that without the silane coupling agent. The recovery difference of the vulcanizates with and without silane coupling agent decreased with increase of clay content. The experimental results were explained with crosslink density, modulus, and bound rubber content.

실란 커플링제가 카본블랙과 점토로 보강된 천연 고무 가황물의 회복 특성에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. Bis-(3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl)-tetrasulfide (TESPT)를 실란 커플링제로 사용하였다. 실란 커플링제가 함유된 가황물은 실란 커플링제가 함유되지 않은 가황물에 비해 전반적으로 빠른 회복 거동을 보였다. 그러나, 점토 함량이 높은 가황물의 경우 $-20^{\circ}C$보다 낮은 온도에서는 실란 커플링제가 함유된 가황물이 실란 커플링제가 함유되지 않은 가황물에 비해 느리게 회복되었다. 실란 커플링제가 함유된 가황물과 실란 커플링제가 함유되지 않은 가황물의 회복량 차이는 점토 함량이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 실험 결과는 가교 밀도, 모둘러스, 그리고 결합 고무량으로 설명하였다.
