The present work describes modification of dual phase filler by electron beam irradiation in presence of multifunctional acrylates like trimethylol propane triacrylate (TMPTA) or silane coupling agent like bis (3-triethoxysilylpropyltetrasulphide) and in-fluence of the modified fillers on the physical properties of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) vulcanizates. Modulus at 300 % elongation increases whereas the tensile strength decreases with increase in radiation dose for the dual phase filler loaded styrene-butadiene rubber vulcanizates (SBR). However, modulus and tensile strength significantly increase, which is more, pronounced at higher filler loadings for TMPTA modified dual phase filler loaded SBR. These changes in properties are explained by the equilibrium swelling data and Kraus plot interpreting the polymer-filler interaction. Electron beam modification of the filler results in a reduction of tan ${\delta}$ at $70^{\circ}C$, a parameter for rolling resistance and increase in tan ${\delta}$ at $0^{\circ}C$, a parameter for wet skid resistance of the SBR vulcanizates. Finally, the influence of modified fillers on the properties like abrasion resistance, tear strength and fatigue failure and the improvement in the properties have been explained in terms of polymer-filler interaction.

In this study, the effects of filler particle size and shape on the physical properties of silicone rubber composites were investigated using inorganic fillers (Minusil 5, Celite 219, and Nyad 400) except silica, which was already present as a reinforcing filler of silicone rubber. Fillers with small particle sizes are known to facilitate the formation of the bound rubber by increasing the contact area with the polymer. However, in this experiment, the bound rubber content of Celite 219-added silicone composite was higher than that of Minusil 5-added silicone composite. This was attributed to the porous structure of Celite 219, which led to an increase in the internal surface area of the filler. When the inorganic fillers were added, both thermal decomposition temperature and thermal stability were improved. The bound rubber formed between the silicone rubber and inorganic filler affected the degree of crosslinking of the silicone composite. It is well-known that as the size of the reinforcing filler decreases, the reinforcing effect increases. However, in this experiment, the hardness of the composite material filled with Celite 219 was the highest compared to the other three composites. Furthermore, the highest value of 2.19 MPa was observed for 100% modulus, and the fracture elongation was the lowest at 469%. This was a result of excellent interaction between Celite 219 filler and silicone rubber.

The effects of filler types and compositions on the final properties such as tensile strength, % elongation, hardness, and specific gravity of chloroprene rubber were investigated. The fillers involved in this investigation were HAF-type carbon black, Mistron, and white clay, For each filler, the variation of filler compositions gave almost the linear effects on the all properties investigated. For a fixed filler composition, different filler types gave different influential strength on rubber properties. After linearlization of experimental data with respect to each filler composition, the simple linear addition of each property with respect to filler compositions was applied to predict the final properties of the filler included rubber systems. For the chloroprene rubber system including the fillers composed of Mistron(25phr)/HAF(20phr)/clay(35phr), the predicted properties were well in accordance with the experimental results. Similar results were obtained for other additives such as processing oil and accelerator.

Formation of bound rubber depends on the filler-polymer interactions including physical adsorption, chemisorption, and mechanical interaction. Bound rubbers consist of tightly and loosely bound ones. Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is composed of styrene, 1,2-, cis-1,4-, and trans-1,4-units. Filler-polymer interactions of each components of SBR with fillers, carbon black and silica, were studied by analysis of microstructure of the bound rubber. Filler-polymer interaction of the 1,2-unit with the fillers was found to be stronger than those of the other components and this phenomenon was shown more clearly in the tightly bound rubber.

To make filler loaded conducting rubber which has the excellent electronical and physical properties, CR and NBR were mixed with magnetite$(Fe_3O_4)$. From the result of the study, vulcanization characteristics shows the upgrading curve as increase in filler concentration and CR has more torque than NBR. When elongation be higher, modulus comes to decreases. Tear strength gradually decrease after showing of the maximum point when is in the 100phr in all. Resilience is not good to cause the increase in filler concentration. In the electrical properties, conductivity becomes smaller when filler concentration is increased. The increase of voltage makes an conductivity grown, but the changed rate is weak. The influence of temperature hardly changes on increasing temperature. The morphology and the distribution for a conductivity filler through SEM were better, the more filler concentration increase, the shorter the particle interval is.

The measurement of the infrared absorption spectrum of supporting reinforcing filler which is oltained from the domestic area of Korea, Japan and U.S.A., is used by the method of KBr pellet. As a result of experiment, each absorption fond of the filler had appeared differently, because of each filler is consisted of different chemical composition, different crystalline form, different method of preparation, and the different ways of use etc. According to the above phenomena, each filler seems to have a different characteristic infrared absorption band, We can find what filler is used for sample rubber.

실리카와 카본블랙으로 보강된 SBR 배합물의 가황 특성과 bound rubber 함량 그리고 가황물의 물성에 보강제의 조성비가 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 고무 배합물의 보강제 총 함량은 80.0 phr 이다. Bound rubber 함량은 실리카 함랑비가 증가할수록 증가하였고 점도 역시 증가하였는데, 특히 실리카 함량이 60.0 phr 이상일 때는 점도의 증가폭이 두드러지게 높아졌다. 가황시간은 실리카 함량이 증가할수록 느려졌고 가황 속도도 느려졌다. 실리카 함량비가 증가할수록 델타 토크가 증가함에도 불구하고 모둘러스는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. $60^{\circ}C$에서의 tan ${\delta}$ 값은 실리카 함량이 증가할수록 감소하였다.

There is an increasing demand for the rolling resistance reduction in truck bus radial (TBR) tires in the tire industry. In TBR tires, natural rubber is used as a base polymer to prevent wear and satisfy required physical properties (cut and chip). A binary filler system (silica and carbon black) is used to balance the durability of the tire and rolling resistance performance. In this study, natural rubber (NR) compounds applied with a binary filler system were manufactured at different cure temperatures for vulcanizate structure analysis. The vulcanizate structures were categorized into carbon black bound rubber, silica silane rubber network, and chemical crosslink density by sulfur. Regardless of the cure temperature, the cross-link density per unit content of carbon black had a greater effect on the properties than silica due to affinity with NR. The relationship analysis between the mechanical, viscoelastic properties with vulcanizate structure could be a guideline for manufacturing practical TBR compounds.

In this study, the capacitance and dielectric loss tangent of the silicone rubber which is combined with filler (30 phr~50 phr) have been measured on the range of 100 Hz~100 kHz and $30{\sim}170^{\circ}C$. It was found that when the frequency is 0.1 kHz~100 kHz and the silicone rubber is combined with 30 phr to 50 phr of filler, the capacitance of silicone rubber has increased by about 28.6 pF to 33 pF in 30 phr of filler, about 20 pF to 46.1 pF in 40 phr of filler and about 36.4 pF to 44 pF in 50 phr of filler. It seems that the volume of dielectric loss has gradually increased due to the temperature rise and the rotating of dipole in electric field through the electric dipole generated by the Si-O group which is induced by adding of filler, or the carbonyl group which is caused by oxidation. It seems that the dielectric dispersion in 0.1 kHz is caused by molecular motion of Siloxane group in main chain, and the dielectric dispersion in 10 kHz is caused by molecular motion of Methyl group in side chain.

To make filler loaded conducting rubber which has excellent electronical and physical properties, CR and NBR were mixed with barium ferrite(BaO.6Fe2O3). From the result of this study, vulcanization characteristics shows that curve is upgraded as the filler concentration increases and CR has higher torque than NBR. In physical properties, elongation being higher, modulus comes to decrease. Tear strength gradually decrease after showing the maximum point when is in the 100phr in CR. Resilience is not good to cause the increase in filler concentration. In electrical properties, conductivity becomes low when filler concentration increase. The increase of voltage makes a conductivity grown, but the rate change is weak. The influence of temperature hardly changes on increasing temperature. The morphology and the dispersion of a conductivity filler in vulcanizates through SEM were good. The more filler concentration increases, the shorter the particle interval is.
