Abstract

The butadiene rubber(BR) blends with chloroprene rubber(CR) were prepared by mechanical mixing method. Cure characteristics, mechanical properties, ozone resistance properties and dynamic mechanical properties were subsequently examined. The properties of ozone resistance of pure BR was significantly improved through blending with 50 wt% CR. Dynamic characteristics determined from a Rheovibron generally showed two glass transition($T_g$) for the entire blends, $tan{\delta}$ peak monotonically shifted toward the higher temperature with the increasing content of CR. Optimum cure time of compound was significantly lengthened with loading of CR.

기계적 혼련법으로 butadiene rubber(BR)과 대표적인 결정성고무인 chloroprene rubber(CR) 블렌드 혼련물을 제조하여, 이들의 가교 거동, 기계적 성질, 내오존성 및 동적 기계적 성질 등을 검토하였다. 내오존시험에 있어서 50 wt% CR 고무의 첨가에 의하여 크게 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다. Rheovibron에 의한 동적 계적 특성 측정의 결과로부터 BR/CR 블렌드는 두 개의 전이를 보였으며 $tan{\delta}$ 피이크의 위치는 CR 고무의 함량이 증가함에 따라 고온 쪽으로 이동함을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 CR 고무량이 증가할수록 최적 가황시간이 증가하는 경향을 보였다.
