Hydrogenations of BR and NR performed by a noncatalytic method using p-toluenesulphonylhydrazide were carried out by reactive processing. The experimental procedures for carrying out the reaction were established. Two steps comprising premixing of the rubber with TSH followed by hydrogenation in compression mould were proved to be suitable. The percentages of hydrogenation attained by reactive processing were higher than those of the reaction carried out in solution at the same [TSH]/[C=C] ratio, reaction temperature and time. In-creasing the reaction temperature and reaction time resulted in increases of the percentage of hydrogenation. For BR, the maximum percentage of hydrogenation obtained was 36% at [TSH]/[C=C]=1/1.5. For NR, the highest percentage of hydrogenation was 34% at [TSH]/[C=C]=1/1.5. Cis-trans isomerisation was also observed to occur during hydrogenation of both BR and NR. Thermal stabilities of the hydrogenated BR and NR were shown to improve over those or the unhydrogenated counterparts.

Five solution styrene butadiene rubber/neodymium butadiene rubber (SSBR/NdBR) composites were manufactured using different ratios of SSBR and NdBR. In this study, the composites were reinforced with NdBR and silica to confirm the physical properties of SSBR used for treads of automobile tires and the dispersibility with silica. The morphologies of the rubber composites were observed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The crosslinking behaviors of the composites were tested using a rubber process analyzer (RPA), and the abrasion resistances were tested using a National Bureau of Standards (NBS) abrasion tester. The hardness values, tensile strengths, and cold resistances of the composites were also tested according to ASTM standards. Increased NdBR content yielded composites with excellent crosslinking properties, abrasion resistances, hardnesses, tensile strengths, and cold resistances. The crosslinking point increased due to the double bond in NdBR, thereby increasing the degree of crosslinking in the composites. The NdBR-reinforced composites exhibited excellent abrasion resistances, which is explained as follows. In SSBR, a breakage is permanent because a resonance structure between styrene and SSBR forms when the molecular backbone is broken during the abrasion process. However, NdBR forms an additional crosslink due to the breakdown of the molecular backbone and high reactivity of the radicals produced. In addition, the low glass transition temperature (Tg) of NdBR provided the rubber composites with excellent cold resistances.

기계적 혼련법으로 butadiene rubber(BR)과 대표적인 결정성고무인 chloroprene rubber(CR) 블렌드 혼련물을 제조하여, 이들의 가교 거동, 기계적 성질, 내오존성 및 동적 기계적 성질 등을 검토하였다. 내오존시험에 있어서 50 wt% CR 고무의 첨가에 의하여 크게 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다. Rheovibron에 의한 동적 계적 특성 측정의 결과로부터 BR/CR 블렌드는 두 개의 전이를 보였으며 $tan{\delta}$ 피이크의 위치는 CR 고무의 함량이 증가함에 따라 고온 쪽으로 이동함을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 CR 고무량이 증가할수록 최적 가황시간이 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

The effect of the silica content on the state and properties of silica-filled styrene-butadiene rubber/butadiene rubber (SBR/BR) compounds containing coupling and dispersion agents was evaluated by varying the content of silica from 50 to 120 phr. Bis-[(triethoxysilyl)propyl] tetrasulfide (TESPT) and zinc 2-ethylhexanoate (ZEH) were used as the coupling and dispersion agents, respectively. The maximum silica content in the pristine material was 80 phr, which increased to 120 phr upon the addition of TESPT and ZEH. The incorporation of TESPT considerably improved most of the rubber properties due to its coupling action and the suppression of silica flocculation, while further addition of ZEH resulted in additional improvements. The properties of the rubber compounds with different silica contents can be fully explained either by an enhancement of the rubber-silica interactions or by their deterioration due to an excessive amount of silica aggregates.

본 논문은 신발 아웃솔용 재료로 사용하기 위하여 마찰특성은 낮으나 내마모성이 우수한 부타디엔고무(BR)에 내마모성은 약하지만 마찰특성이 우수한 염화이소부틸고무(CIIR)를 블렌딩하는 경우 고무복합체의 마찰특성이 저하되는 현상을 방지하기 위한 제조방법에 대한 연구이다. BR/CIIR 복합체에서 마찰특성이 저하되지 않도록 하기 위하여 CIIR을 예비가교한 후 BR에 혼합하여 고무복합체로 제조한 경우, 복합체의 마찰특성이 현저히 향상되었다. 예비 가교한 CIIR을 40% 혼합하여 제조한 복합체의 내마모성과 마찰특성은 신발 아웃솔용으로 사용하기에 만족할 만한 값을 나타내었다.

실리카로 충전된 SBR(styrene butadiene rubber)/BR(butadiene rubber) 합성고무 복합소재에 대해서 가공기기의 구조가 실리카 분산에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 주사전자 현미경(SEM-scanning electron microscope)을 이용하여 컴파운드의 모폴로지를 관찰하였다. Internal mixer 내에서 intermeshing rotor와 tangential rotor에 의해 배합된 컴파운드를 비교한 결과, intermeshing rotor에 의해 가공되었을 경우 실리카 입자가 더 고르게 분산 및 분포되었음을 관찰하였다. Rotor의 geometry 차이에 의해 intermeshing rotor가 tangential rotor보다 더 큰 전단력(shear)을 컴파운드에 전달하여 실리카 입자를 효과적으로 분산 및 분배시킨 것으로 판단된다.

NR, SBR, BR 둥 3가지 고무로 이루어진 가류물에서 고무 조성비가 노화방지제의 이동 거동에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 3가지 고무 중 2가지의 함량은 동일하게 하였고 나머지 하나만 다르게 하였다. IPPD와 HPPD를 오존노화방지제로 사용하였다. 실험은 $60^{\circ}C$에서 21일간 방치하는 것과 옥외에서 4개월간 방치하는 것으로 진행하였다. 노화방지제의 이동 속도는 고무 조성비가 NR/SBR/BR = 1/1/0.2에서 1/1/1로 증가함에 따라 증가하다가 1/1/1에서 최대를 나타내 후 다시 감소하였다. 3가지 고무로 이루어진 가류물에서 고무 조성비에 따른 노화방지제의 이동 거동의 변화는 고무와 노화방지제 간의 친화력, 고무에 대한 노화방지제의 융해도, 그리고 이질 고무간에 형성된 경계면 등으로 설명할 수 있었다.

Chloroprene is a chlorine substituent of 1,3-butadiene. Butadiene rubber (BR) and chloroprene rubber (CR) composites were thermally aged at 60, 70, 80, and $90^{\circ}C$ for 2 - 185 days in a convection oven and changes of the crosslink densities by the accelerated thermal aging were investigated. The crosslink densities increased as the aging time elapsed and as the aging temperature became higher. Degrees of the crosslink density changes of the BR composite were on the whole larger than those of the CR one except the short-term thermal aging at 60 and $70^{\circ}C$. The crosslink densities abnormally increased after themal aging at high temperatures for a long time. Activation energies for the crosslink density changes of the rubber composites tended to increase with increase of the aging time and the variation showed a local minimum. The activation energies of the CR composite were lower than those of the BR one. The experimental results were explained with a role of ligand of chlorine atom of CR in a zinc complex, steric hindrance by chlorine atom of CR, and oxidation of rubber chain.

Highly aromatic (HA) oils are common processing aids used in tire tread compounds. However, they often bleed and evaporate from the vulcanizates during tire use. Thus, the mechanical and dynamical properties of the tire decrease. To overcome this problem, we investigated nonfunctionalized liquid butadiene rubber (LBR-305, Kuraray) and center-functionalized liquid butadiene rubber (C-LqBR), polymerized by anionic polymerization. In addition to the liquid butadiene rubbers, p-tert-octylphenol (P-Resin) and C5 hydrocarbon (H-Resin) tackifier resins, which can induce entanglement of rubber compounds, were researched as a processing aid to solve the bleeding problem. Liquid butadiene rubbers have significantly reduced extraction loss by crosslinking with the main rubber chain. They have also increased the abrasion resistance and showed similar or better mechanical and dynamical properties against HA oils. However, resin compounds did not show differences in extraction loss compared to HA oil compounds; instead, they showed increased wet traction.
