Abstract:

The blends of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and natural rubber (NR) are prepared using a two-roll mixing mill in the presence of different types of carbon blacks as reinforcing filler. The effects of fillers on cure characteristics and thermal, dynamic–mechanical, morphological properties of the blends are studied. The ISAF N231 type of carbon black shows a significant effect on tensile, tear and modulus properties by reacting at the interface between SBR/NR matrixes. The dynamic characteristics and storage modulus of SBR/NR with SAF N110 and SRF N774 types of carbon black show distinct characteristics in respect to all other blends in this system. The thermal stability of the rubber vulcanizates containing SAF N110 and SRF N774 types of carbon blacks is higher than other blend types. With the increasing percentage of SBR to NR, the thermal stability of the blend is increased. However, the heat buildup of the blends increases with the increase in SBR percentage.
