Cure characteristics of carbon black-filled rubber compounds with different rubber composition were studied using a rheometer. The carbon black-filled rubber compounds with single, binary, and ternary rubber compositions of natural rubber (NR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and butadiene rubber (BR) were used. Delta-torques of the NR/BR- and SBR/BR-based compounds with a high BR content were higher than those of the single rubber-based compounds. For ternary rubber-based compounds, the delta-torques of the compounds were lower when the difference in the rubber content ratios was small than when it was big. Scorch and optimum cure times of the rubber compounds became shorter by increasing the content of NR in the compounds while those became longer by increasing the SBR content. Cure rates of the rubber compounds increased with a decrease of the SBR content in the rubber compounds. Reversion ratios decreased with an increase of the SBR content in the rubber compounds.

Mixing condition and procedure affect properties or a filled rubber compound such as filler dispersion, viscosity, and bound rubber formation. Influence of separate load of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) on properties or silica-filled SBR compounds containing NBR was studied. Cure time and cure rate became faster as NBR content increased. The crosslink density increased with increase in the NBR content. The bound rubber content also increased as the NBR content increased. NBR content of the bound rubber was higher than that of the compounded rubber. The bound rubber content was higher when SBR and NBR were loaded separately than when loading simultaneously. The cure time and cure rate were slower for the separate load than for the simultaneous one. The crosslink density was also lower for the former case than for the latter one.

Silica-filled rubber compound needs longer mixing time compared to carbon black-filled one since it has poor dispersion or the filler. Influence of the mixing procedure on the properties of natural rubber compound filled with both silica and carbon black was studied. The discharge temperature of the master batch (MB) mixing was $150^{\circ}C$. The mixing time was longer when silica and carbon black were loaded separately than when loaded simultaneously. The mixing time was longer when silica was loaded first than when carbon black is loaded first. The compounds prepared by one MB step (conventional mixing) were compared with the compounds prepared by two MB steps (two-step mixing). Scorch times of the two-step mixing compounds were longer than those by the conventional mixing ones. Bound rubber contents of the formers were lower than those of the tatters. The two-step mixing vulcanizates had longer elongation at break, higher tensile strength, and better fatigue life.

Silica-filled rubber compounds show poor filler dispersion and slow cure characteristics compared to carbon black-filled ones. In general, a silica-filled rubber compound contains silane coupling agent (bis-(3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl)-tetrasulfide, TESPT) and diphenylguanidine (DPG) to improve the filler dispersion and to make fast cure characteristics. Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) improves the filler dispersion in silica-filled styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds. In this study, effect of NBR on the properties of silica-filled SBR compounds was investigated. Properties of the compounds which contain NBR without DPG or with small amount of TESPT (Compound A) were compared with those of the compounds which contain TESPT and DPG without NBR (Compound B). Scorch time of Compound A is faster than those of Compound B. Modulus and tensile strength of Comound A are slightly lower than those of Compound B. Traction property of the Comound A is better than that of the Compound B. Addition of NBR leads to reduction of the used amount of TESPT and DPG.

Silica and carbon black filled natural rubber (NR) vulcanizates were prepared with different mixing modes and amounts of fillers. Curing characteristics, morphology. and tear properties of the NR vulcanizates were investigated. The NR vulcanizates filled with silica and carbon black sequentially showed longer induction time ($t_2$), cure index ($t_{90}$ ), and lower maximum torque ($T_{max}$ ) than the NR vulcanizates filled with them simultaneously, during curing process. The former showed superior dispersion of fillers and tear properties to the latter. The NR vulcanizates containing 30 phr of silica showed excellent properties in the experimental range.

천연고무의 소련효과를 높이기 위하여 사용되는 소련촉진제가 천연고무 배합물의 점도나 Couette 보정치와 같은 유변학적 특성에 미치는 효과를 살펴보았다. 소련촉진제로는 BAPS, PCTP 및 ADS계의 것이 사용되었다. 실험결과 소련 촉진제의 사용에 따라 고무의 분자량이 감소하고 전단 점도도 감소하였다. Coutte 보정치는 소련촉전제의 사용량이 증가 할수록 낮은 값을 나타냈으며 압출물의 팽창도 소련촉진제를 사용하는 경우감소하였다. 그 러나 사용된 소련촉진제들 간에는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.

In this study, properties of adhesion between adhesion promoter-containing rubber compound and zinc coated steel cord was investigated. Cobalt salt, resorcinol formaldehyde resin (RF resin) and hexamethoxymethylmelamine (HMMM) were used to adhesion promoter. Since cobalt salts accelerate sulphidation rate of zinc at zinc coated steel cord surface, pullout force of rubber compound applying cobalt salts was increased compared to that of rubber compound without applying cobalt salts. Pullout force and rubber coverage of rubber compounds applying all adhesion promoters were superior because strong interlocking between rubber matrix increased modulus due to applying RF resin and HMMM and grown zinc sulfides at zinc coated steel cord surface.
