In this study, epoxidized liquid isoprene rubber (E-LqIR) was used as a processing aid in a silica-filled natural rubber compound to improve the fuel efficiency, abrasion resistance, and oil migration problems of truck and bus radial tire tread. The wear resistance, fuel efficiency, and extraction resistance of the compound were evaluated according to the molecular weight of E-LqIR. Results of the evaluation showed that the E-LqIR compound had a lower chemical crosslink density than that of a treated distillate aromatic extract (TDAE) oil compound because of the sulfur consumption of E-LqIR. However, the filler-rubber interaction improved because of the reaction of E-LqIR with silica and crosslink with the base rubber by sulfur. As the molecular weight of E-LqIR increased, crosslink with sulfur was facilitated, and the filler-rubber interaction improved, resulting in improved abrasion resistance. The fuel efficiency performance of the E-LqIR compound was poorer than that of the TDAE oil compound because of the low chemical crosslink density and hysteresis loss at the free chain end of E-LqIR. However, the fuel efficiency performance improved as the molecular weight of E-LqIR increased.

실리카로 보강된 고무 배합물은 카본 블랙으로 보강된 배합물에 비해 보강제의 분산이 나쁘고 느린 가황 특성을 보인다. 보강제의 분산을 향상시키고 가황 특성을 빠르게 하기 위해 일반적으로 실리카로 보강된 고무 배합물에서는 실란커플링제인 bis-(3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl)-tetrasulfide (TESPT)와 diphenylguanidine (DPG)를 사용한다. Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR)은 실리카로 보강된 styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) 배합물에서 실리카의 분산을 향상시킨다. 이 연구에서는 실리카로 보강된 SBR 배합물의 특성에 NBR이 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. NBR을 포함하고 있으나 TESPT의 양이 적거나 DPG를 포함하지 않은 배합물(배합물 A)의 특성과 NBR은 포함하지 않고 TESPT와 DPG를 포함하는 배합물(배합물 B)의 특성을 비교하였다. 배합물 A의 스코치 시간은 배합물 B의 것에 비해 빨랐고 모듈러스와 인장 강도는 배합물 B에 비해 약간 떨어지는 경향을 보였다. 마찰 특성은 배합물 A의 것이 배합물 B의 것에 비해 우수하게 나타났다. NBR의 사용으로 TESPT와 DPG의 사용을 줄일 수 있었다.

The rapid development of the automobile industry is an important factor that led to the dramatic development of synthetic rubber. The tread part of tire that comes in direct contact with the road surface is related to the service life of the tire. Rubber compounds used in tire treads are often blended with SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) and BR (butadiene rubber) to satisfy physical property requirements. However, when two or more kinds of rubber are blended, phase separation and silica dispersion problems may occur due to non-uniform mixing of the rubber. Therefore, in this study, we synthesized an SBR copolymer with the same composition as that of a typical SBR/BR blend compound by controlling butadiene content during ESBR (emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber) synthesis. Subsequently, silica filled compounds were manufactured using the synthesized ESBR, and their mechanical properties, dynamic viscoelasticity, and crosslinking density were compared with those of the SBR/BR blended compound. When the content of butadiene was increased in the silica filled compound, the cure rate accelerated due to an increased number of allylic positions, which typically exhibit higher reactivity. However, the T-2 compound with increased butadiene content by synthesis less likely to show an increase in crosslink density due to poor silica dispersion. In addition, the T-3 compound containing high cis BR content showed high crosslink density due to its monosulfide crosslinking structure. Because of the phase separation, SBR/BR blend compounds were easily broken and showed similar $M_{100%}$ and $M_{300%}$ values as those of other compounds despite their high crosslink density. However, the developed blend showed excellent abrasion resistance due to the high cis-1,4 butadiene content and low rolling resistance due to the high crosslink density.

Effects of silane modifier, bis(triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide (TESPT(S4)) and bis(triethoxysilylpropyl) disulfide (TESPD(S2)), on silica filled compound were investigated upon processability, dynamic, mechanical, heat build-up, blowout properties, and silica dispersion in natural rubber (NR). The temperature of the S2 treated silica compound generated higher than that of the S4 treated compound during internal mixer compounding. The shear viscosity of the S2 compound exhibited lower than that of the S4 compound and the viscosity measured in dynamic mode was close to each other. The elongation modulus of the S2 compound exhibited lower than that of the S4; however, the tear resistance strength of the S2 compound exhibited higher than that of the S4 compound. The loss tan$\delta$ values of the S2 compound exhibited higher than those of the S4 at room temperature. The augmentation of the test temperature lowered the tan$\delta$ values of each compound, which results in close tan$\delta$ values to each other at $100^{\circ}C$. The S2 compound deformed less than the S4 compound, and the blowout time of each compound was close to each other. The S2 compound generated more heat build-up than the S4 compound. The abrasion loss of the S2 compound was less than that of the S4 compound. The size of the silica agglomerate reduced on both S4 and S2 compounds upon vulcanization. The addition of the bifunctional silanes (S2 and S4) on silica filled NR compound improved the processability of each compound and their effects were more significant on the S2 compound than the S4 compound. After vulcanization the silica agglomerate size of each compound reduced compared with before vulcanization.

본 연구의 목적은 카본블랙 첨가량 변화, 가황조건 및 가황시스템 변화에 따른 배합고무의 가교밀도 및 고무보강성을 조사하고자 하였다. 결합고무량은 배합고무중 카본블랙 체적비가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나, 총가교밀도는 결합고무량 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 가황반응 속도상수는 가황온도 및 가황시스템에 따라 현저하게 변화하였으며, 특히 가황온도에 강한 의존성을 나타내었다. 가황반응의 활성화에너지는 카본블랙 첨가량이 많고 EC 가황시스템이 적용된 배합고무 또는 카본블랙 첨가량이 적고 CC 가황시스템이 적용된 배합고무에서 높게 나타났다. 가황된 배합고무중 가장 높은 총가교밀도는 카본블랙 첨가량이 적고 가황시스템중 CC 가황시스템이 적용된 배합고무에서 나타났으며, EC 가황시스템에 의한 총가교밀도의 뚜렷한 변화는 나타나지 않았다. Mooney-Rivlin식에 의한 가장 높은 탄성상수는 카본블랙 첨가량이 적고, SEC 가황시스템이 사용된 배합고무에서 나타났다. 모듈러스는 배합고무중 카본블랙 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 가황시스템별 영향은 SEC>CC>EC 시스템 순으로 높게 나타났다.

Cure characteristics and physical properties of carbon black-filled natural rubber (NR) compounds depending on the mixing procedure were studied using the compounds with different pre-final mixing (FM-1) stages. Carbon master batch (MB) and first and second remitting (1RM and 2RM) stages were employed as the FM-1 stage. Bound rubber content of the FM compound decreased with increasing the mixing steps. This was due to the decrease of the molecular weight distribution of the polymer by the rubber chain scission during the mixing. The Mooney viscosity decreased with increasing the mixing steps. Cure characteristics of the compounds were found to be different with the mixing procedures. The cure times of the compound became slower by increasing the number of the mixing steps. This was explained by the length of rubber chain, the carbon black network, distribution of the curatives in the compound, and immobilization of the polymeric segments. Modulus and tensile strength of the vulcanizate did not show a specific trend with the mixing procedure. Fatigue life of the vulcanizate increased by increasing the mixing stages.

For improving the heat loss of a refrigerator around door gasket, it is very important to reduce the amount of rubber magnet used, of which thermal conductivity is much higher than the plastics, and enhancing the magnetic properties of rubber magnet itself is crucial for this. In the present study, therefore, a relationship between the optimum conditions of rubber magnet fabrication process and raw material compositions in the ferrite powder/CPE binder compounds was investigated for finding a way to enhance the magnetic properties of rubber magnet. Magnetic attraction forces of a sample rubber magnet was measured as function of distance, and thermal properties of the sample ferrite powder/CPE binder compound were analyzed with TG/DTA thermal analyzer. As a results, a rubber magnet strip with enhanced magnetic properties was expected to be fabricated, of which raw material compound was prepared by compounding with higher ferrite magnetic powder concentration.

가황반응에 대한 반응차수, 반응속도상수 및 활성화에너지, 가교결합에 의한 가교밀도 및 탄성상수를 동일한 가황시스템하에서 실리카와 카본블랙을 함유한 SBR/BR 블렌드에 대하여 조사하였다. 반응차수는 충전제 종류에 관계없이 1차 반응이었으며, 카본블랙이 첨가된 배합고무는 실리카가 첨가된 배합고무보다 반응속도가 빠르게 나타났다. 그러나 활성화에너지는 충전제 종류 및 고무 블렌드 조성에 관계없이 일정하게 나타났다. 가교밀도 및 탄성상수는 고무와 카본블랙간의 강한 상호작용으로 인해 카본블랙이 첨가된 조성물에서 높게 나타났다. 한편, 고무 블렌드중 부타디엔 고무 함량이 증가할수록 가교밀도 및 탄성상수는 감소하였다. 가황고무중 결합 황 함량 비교결과, 실리카가 첨가된 조성물중 일정한 결합 황 함량은 반응시작 후 20분 후에 나타났으나, 카본블랙이 첨가된 조성물은 10분 후에 나타났다. 또한 실리카가 첨가된 조성물은 카본블랙이 첨가된 조성물에 비해 반응 유도시간($t_2$) 및 최적 가황시간($t_{90}$)이 길게 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 아연 코팅 스틸코드와 접착증진제가 적용된 배합고무와의 접착 특성을 연구하였다. 접착증진제로는 cobalt boroacylate (코발트 염), resorcinol-formaldehyde resin (RF resin) 그리고 hexamethoxymethylmelamine (HMMM)을 사용하였다. 코발트 염이 첨가된 배합고무에서는 코발트 염이 아연 코팅 스틸코드 표면에서 아연 황화물 성장을 촉진시켜 코발트 염이 포함되지 않은 배합고에 비하여 pullout force가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 코발트 염, RF resin과 HMMM을 모두 적용한 배합고무의 경우, 코발트 염은 아연 황화물 성장을 촉진시키고, RF resin과 HMMM은 배합고무의 modulus를 높여 고무 matrix로 성장한 아연 황화물을 더 강하게 interlocking하기 때문에 pullout force와 스틸코드의 고무 부착율이 가장 높게 나타난다는 것을 확인하였다.
