A calibration curve is needed to determine the SBR and BR blend ratio of SBR/BR blend rubber compounds using pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass chromatography (Py-GC/MS) or Py-GC. In general, a calibration curve is obtained using reference SBR/BR vulcanizates with various blend ratios. In this study, the calibration curves were obtained using reference samples made of rubber solutions and were compared to those plotted using the reference SBR/BR vulcanizates. Calibration curves using variations of 1,3-butadiene/styrene, 4-vinylcyclohexene (VCH)/styrene, 2-phenylpropene (PhP)/butadiene, PhP/VCH, 4-phenylcyclohexene (PhCH)/butadiene, and PhCH/VCH ratios with the BR content were examined for the suitability. We found that the calibration curves obtained using the mixed rubber solution references (1,3-butadiene/styrene and PhP/butadiene) could replace those constructed using the reference SBR/BR vulcanizates. The calibration curves of 1,3-butadiene/styrene and PhP/butadiene obtained using the raw references can be used for the determination of the SBR/BR blend ratios by applying some correction factors.

The rapid development of the automobile industry is an important factor that led to the dramatic development of synthetic rubber. The tread part of tire that comes in direct contact with the road surface is related to the service life of the tire. Rubber compounds used in tire treads are often blended with SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) and BR (butadiene rubber) to satisfy physical property requirements. However, when two or more kinds of rubber are blended, phase separation and silica dispersion problems may occur due to non-uniform mixing of the rubber. Therefore, in this study, we synthesized an SBR copolymer with the same composition as that of a typical SBR/BR blend compound by controlling butadiene content during ESBR (emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber) synthesis. Subsequently, silica filled compounds were manufactured using the synthesized ESBR, and their mechanical properties, dynamic viscoelasticity, and crosslinking density were compared with those of the SBR/BR blended compound. When the content of butadiene was increased in the silica filled compound, the cure rate accelerated due to an increased number of allylic positions, which typically exhibit higher reactivity. However, the T-2 compound with increased butadiene content by synthesis less likely to show an increase in crosslink density due to poor silica dispersion. In addition, the T-3 compound containing high cis BR content showed high crosslink density due to its monosulfide crosslinking structure. Because of the phase separation, SBR/BR blend compounds were easily broken and showed similar $M_{100%}$ and $M_{300%}$ values as those of other compounds despite their high crosslink density. However, the developed blend showed excellent abrasion resistance due to the high cis-1,4 butadiene content and low rolling resistance due to the high crosslink density.

A coil pyrolyzer and processor-controlled gas chromatograph were used for analysis of rubber for compounding ratio of the single and blend rubber vlucanizates. Variables such as sample size, pyrolysis temperature, time allowed for pyrolysis, the column packing material, its length and programmable temperature for gas chromatography were examined to obtain optimum condition for application to NR, BR and SBR blends. By application fixed conditions, three kinds of standard curves were finally obtained from thirty samples of blend vulcanizates which were prepared in the pilot plant, NIRI. It is possible to determine rubber composition and their ratio in NR, BR and SBR products by pyrolysis.

본 실험에서는 공가류와 내오존성을 동시에 만족하는 고무 조성비의 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 사용한 시편은 NR, SBR, BR, IIR 및 EPDM을 다양한 비율로 블렌딩 한 고무 조성물(시편 A), NR/BR/SBR로 구성된 불포화 고무 조성물(시편B)와 NR/IIR/EPDM로 구성된 포화 고무 조성물(시편C)이다. 시편A와 시편B, 시편A와 시편C를 각각 공가류시켜 PAD 접착 시편을 제작하여 박리강도를 측정하였다. 또한 시편A에 대해서 내오존성을 평가하였다. 시편 A의 불포화 고무 조성중(NR/BR Blend)에 BR보다 NR의 비율이 높을수록 시편B와 시편C와의 접착 강도가 높았고, 또다른 불포화 고무 조성(NR/SBR)에서는 NR보다 SBR 함량이 높을수록 접착 강도는 높았다. 또한 시편A의 조성중에서 NR/BR/IIR/EPDM 조성물 보다 NR/SBR/IIR/EPDM 조성물이 접착성이 우수하였다. 고무 조성중 불포화 고무가 많을수록 접착 강도는 우수하였으나, 내오존성은 다소 열세였다. 불포화 고무와 포화 고무의 비율이 60/40 정도 일 때 접착 강도와 내오존성이 모두 양호하였다.

Wet masterbatch (WMB) technology is studied to develop high-content and highly disperse silica-filled compounds. This technology refers to the solidification of surface-modified silica with a rubber solution or latex. Until now, researchs based on styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)/silica WMB has been mainly performed. However, the blending of SBR/silica WMB and BR is not known and is currently under research and development. Therefore, in this study, the BR blending method suitable for emulsion (ESBR)/silica WMB is investigated by measuring their cure characteristics and the mechanical and dynamic viscoelastic properties. As a result, it was confirmed that the blending of ESBR/silica WMB and BR/silica dry masterbatch is most appropriate. However, it showed a disadvantage compared with the conventional mixing method, which was due to the surfactant remained and the sulfuric acid used as the coagulant.

가황반응에 대한 반응차수, 반응속도상수 및 활성화에너지, 가교결합에 의한 가교밀도 및 탄성상수를 동일한 가황시스템하에서 실리카와 카본블랙을 함유한 SBR/BR 블렌드에 대하여 조사하였다. 반응차수는 충전제 종류에 관계없이 1차 반응이었으며, 카본블랙이 첨가된 배합고무는 실리카가 첨가된 배합고무보다 반응속도가 빠르게 나타났다. 그러나 활성화에너지는 충전제 종류 및 고무 블렌드 조성에 관계없이 일정하게 나타났다. 가교밀도 및 탄성상수는 고무와 카본블랙간의 강한 상호작용으로 인해 카본블랙이 첨가된 조성물에서 높게 나타났다. 한편, 고무 블렌드중 부타디엔 고무 함량이 증가할수록 가교밀도 및 탄성상수는 감소하였다. 가황고무중 결합 황 함량 비교결과, 실리카가 첨가된 조성물중 일정한 결합 황 함량은 반응시작 후 20분 후에 나타났으나, 카본블랙이 첨가된 조성물은 10분 후에 나타났다. 또한 실리카가 첨가된 조성물은 카본블랙이 첨가된 조성물에 비해 반응 유도시간($t_2$) 및 최적 가황시간($t_{90}$)이 길게 나타났다.

A study of preparing rubber soles and heels was made to improve the quality in their physical properties such as resistance of cut-growth, abrasion resistance and tensile strength. Following results were obtained in the characteristics of rubber compounding: 1. In the reinforcement effect of fillers, it was found that hydrous silcate and carbon black were the best, aluminum and calcium silicate were pretty good, and basic magnesium carbonate was moderate. 2. SBR/BR blend in the ratio of from 85/25 to 100/0 and NBR/BR blend in the ratio of from 60/40 to 20/80 were the most suitable compounding condition.

On the basis of the use of shoes, the outsole, which is mainly made of rubber, has various characteristics. The most important of these characteristics is abrasion resistance and friction. Generally, the abrasion resistance can be improved by adding more reinforcing filler such as silica to the rubber; however, the friction force drops. Owing to these problems, rubber having excellent abrasion resistance and rubber having excellent frictional force are blended. In this study, various characteristics, including wear resistance and friction, were evaluated by blending NBR/SBR or NBR/BR mixture with high wear resistance and CIIR with high friction. The CIIR was increased up to 60 phr, whereas the friction wear characteristics were rapidly changed in the NBR/CIIR blend ratio from 75:15 to 60:30.

A blend ratio of rubber vulcanzates comprising NBR, CR, EPDM, NR, BR, and SBR alone or blended is determind through a P.G.C. It is found that a characteristic peak of elastomer is proportional to the content of each elastomer when they are pyrolysed. It is also classified to the different AN content in NBR vulcanizates, identification of sulfur-modified and non-sulfur bearing CR polymers, and the content of ethylene, propylene monomer and the third monomer in EPDM vulcanizetes.
