In this work, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) were used to modify asphalt, resulting in SBR- and SBS-modified asphalt, respectively. The two modified asphalts were emulsified with a nonionic emulsifier (Span 60) and cationic emulsifiers (ID, DDA) and their phase stabilization was investigated via particle size, Zeta potential, and flow behavior analysis. With increasing amount of the mixed emulsifier, the particle size decreased, leading to an increase in viscosity. The shear thinning behaviors and Zeta potential values ranging from 35-65 mV were determined and remained considerably stable. In addition, the adhesion strength and compression strength of the SBR-and SBS-modified asphalt emulsion were evaluated via surface free energy examination. The remarkable adhesion and compression strengths were estimated when 5 phr ID and 6 phr DDA were added to the emulsified asphalt modified with SBR and SBS. Therefore ID and DDA, the two cationic surfactants, played significant roles in improving the dispersion and interfacial adhesion strength, resulting in the improved adhesion and compression strength of the emulsified asphalts modified with SBR and SBS.

나일론 6/poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co--styrene) (ABS) 블렌드의 단점을 해결하기 위해 ABS의 고무상인 폴리부타디엔 대신 폴리(부틸 아크릴레이트)를 고무상으로 포함하고 있는 poly(acrylonitrile-co-styrene-co-acrylic rubber) (ASA)를 사용하여 새로운 나일론/ASA 블렌드를 실험하였다. 고충격성을 갖는 블렌드 제조를 위하여 상용화제로 무수 말레산을 25 wt% 포함한 poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (SMA)와 이를 3 wt% 이하 포함한 poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile-co-maleic anhydride) (SANMA)를 사용하여 블렌드를 제조하였다. 나일론/ASA 블렌드에서 상용화제의 함량에 따른 물성 변화는 나일론/ABS 블렌드와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 블렌드 내의 고무 함량이 20 wt% 이상일 때 안정된 물성의 고충격 블렌드가 제조되었다. 블렌드를 사출 성형 온도에서 사출 성형기 내에 체류시킨 후 제조한 시편의 충격 강도를 시험한 결과 SMA를 상용화제로 사용한 경우 충격 강도의 감소가 관찰된 반면 SANMA를 상용화제로 사용한 블렌드에서는 충격 강도의 변화가 거의 없었다.

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.

스티렌-부타디엔 고무(styrene-butadiene rubber :SBR)의 가공성과 기계적 물성을 조절하는 방안의 일환으로, 고분자량 SBR(high molecular weight SBR : HM-SBR)과 저분자량 SBR (low molecular weight SBR : LM-SBR)의 혼합물의 특성을 조사하였다. HM-SBR/LM-SBR의 LM-SBR 함량이 증가함에 따라 경화전 혼합물의 Mooney 점도와 경화에 따른 토오크 증가치는 감소하고 가황 후 혼합물들의 Shore A 경도와 반발탄성율은 감소를 보였다. 또한 LM-SBR 함량의 증가에 따라 혼합물들의 가황 후 유리전이온도는 일정하지만 고무상태에서 tan ${\delta}$는 증가를 보였다. LM-SBR 함량에 따른 가황 전 혼합물들의 Mooney 점도 감소는 LM-SBR의 가소화 효과와 분자량 분포 증가에 기인하는 것으로 해석하였다. 가황 HM-SBR/LM-SBR 혼합물의 기계적 물성 변화는 고무 혼합물의 가교밀도 감소에 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다.

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.

The influences of carbon black loading and cure type on the cure characteristics including kinetics and dynamic mechanical properties were investigated for a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). The rate constants of accelerated sulfur vulcanization reaction at three different temperatures were determined using a cure rheometer, and they were compared with those from the direct measurement of sulfur concentration. The strain softening behavior under dynamic deformation, known as the Payne effect was also discussed depending on the carbon black loading and cure type.

Chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) -bamboo charcoal/silica (CS-PVA-BC/SI) hybrid fillers with compatibilized styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites were fabricated by the interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) method. The structure and composition of the composite samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The viscoelastic behaviors of the rubber composites and their vulcanizates were explored using a rubber processing analyzer (RPA) in the rheometer, strain sweep and temperature sweep modes. The storage and loss moduli of SBR increased significantly with the incorporation of different hybrid fillers, which was attributed to the formation of an interphase between the hybrid fillers and rubber matrix, and the effective dispersion of the hybrid fillers. The mechanical properties (hardness, tensile strength, oxygen transmission rate, and swelling rate) of the composite samples were characterized in detail. From the results of the mechanical test, it was found that BC-CS-PVA0SBR had the best mechanical properties. Therefore, the BC-CS-PVA hybrid filler provided the best reinforcement effects for the SBR latex in this research.

This paper presents an experimentally investigation pertinent to the mechanical properties of rubberized mortar (RM) with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). The SBR were used with constant water-to-cement ratio of 0.485 and two different volume proportion of SBR particles were utilized as aggregates. One types of SBR particles with fineness modulus of 4.951 were utilized 0%, 10%, and 20% of aggregate volume. Effectiveness of SBR replacement ratio, curing and aging effect on the compressive strength, flexural strengths as well as load-displacement. Compressive and flexural strength of concrete were investigated at the end of 28-days and 56-days age. Obtained results demonstrated that utilization of SBR reduced the flexural strength of SBR mortar at the earlier curing age while SBR increased. Moreover, mechanical properties of mortar mentioned above were significantly affected by the water cure timing with an increasing proportion of the replacement level of SBR.

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.
