Abstract

Changes of physical properties or NR vulcanizates with different cure systems by thermal aging were investigated. Two sulfur cure systems and one resole cure system were employed, and total contents of the curatives were varied. For the NR vulcanizates with sulfur cure systems, hardness and modulus after the thermal aging at $90^{\circ}C$ for 3 days were increased, but elongation at break and tensile strength were decreased. For the NR vulcanizates with resloe cure system, the physical properties after the thermal aging were decreased. The change of physical properties by the thermal aging was explained with the crosslink density change. The crosslink densities or the NR vulcanizates with sulfur cure systems were increased after the thermal aging, but those with resole cure system were decreased. Influence of the migration of antidegradant on the changes of physical properties was also investigated. However, the changes of physical properties by the thermal aging were not explained sufficiently with the migration of antigradant.

가교 시스템이 다른 NR 가황물의 열노화에 의한 물성 변화를 연구하였다. 두 가지 황가교 시스템과 한 가지 레졸 가교 시스템을 도입하였으며, 가교제 함량을 변화시켰다. 황 가교시스템으로 만든 NR 가황물의 경우, $90^{\circ}C$에서 3일간 노화 후 경도와 모듈러스는 증가한 반면 신율과 인장강도는 감소하였다. 레졸 가교 시스템으로 만든 NR 가황물의 경우에는 노화 후 전반적으로 물성이 하락하였다. 열노화에 의한 물성 변화를 가교밀도의 변화로 설명하였다. 노화 후, 황 가교 시스템으로 만든 NR 가황물의 가교밀도는 증가한 반면, 레졸 가교 시스템으로 만든 NR 가황물의 가교밀도는 감소하였다. 노화방지제의 이동이 물성에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 조사하였다. 그러나 노화방지제의 이동으로는 노화에 의한 물성의 변화를 충분히 설명할 수 없었다.
