Abstract

To see the effect of chemical surface modification, the carbon black surfaces were treated with three types of chemicals (KOH, $H_3PO_4$, and benzene). Vulcanization and mechanical properties of a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) were investigated depending on the chemical treatments. The surface free energy increased considerably with the treatments by both the acid (HCB) and base (KCB), but only a slight increase was observed for benzene treatment(BCB). The BCB showed the highest level of the London dispersive component. The vulcanization reaction was found to be faster in the order of KCB-SBR> BCB-SBR> VCB-SBR(virgin) > HCB-SBR. The difference in minimum and maximum torque of rheocurve, representing the degree of crosslinking, was found to be higher for the BCB-SBR compared to those of VCB-SBR, KCB-SBR, and HCB-SBR. The BCB-SBR and KCB-SBR showed the improved tensile and dynamic mechanical properties. A linear relationship was found to exist between the London dispersive component of surface free energy and mechanical properties.

카본블랙의 화학적 표면개질에 따른 영향을 조사하기 위해 3종류 화학약품(KOH, $H_3PO_4$, 벤젠)을 이용하여 카본블랙 표면을 처리하였으며, 이를 함유한 스티렌-부타디엔 고무(SBR)의 가황특성과 기계적 특성을 조사하였다. 산(HCB)이나 염기(KCB)로 표면 처리할 경우 표면 자유에너지의 증가가 관찰된 반면, 벤젠(BCB)의 경우 미세한 증가만이 관찰되었다. London 비극성 성분은 BCB가 가장 높았다. 각 표면처리 카본블랙을 함유한 SBR 컴파운드의 가황반응의 빠르기는 KCB-SBR>BCB-SBR>VCB- SBR(무처리)>HCB-SBR의 순으로 나타났다. 일반적으로 가교도를 나타내는 가황곡선상의 최대토오크와 최소토오크의 차이는 VCB-SBR, KCB-SBR, HCB-SBR에 비해 BCB-SBR이 높은 값을 나타내었다. BCB-SBR과 KCB-SBR의 경우 인장특성과 동적기계적 특성이 증진되었다. 표면자유에너지 중 London 비극성 요소와 기계적 특성간에는 비례관계가 있음이 확인되었다.
