  • Vulcanization & Accelerators
    Vulcanization & Accelerators Vulcanization is a cross linking process in which individual molecules of rubber (polymer) are converted into a three dimensional network of interconnected (polymer) chains through chemical cross links(of sulfur). The vulcanization process was discovered in 1839 and the individuals responsible for this discovery were Charles Goodyear in USA and Thomas Hancock in England. Both discovered the use of Sulfur and White Lead as a vulcanization system for Natural Rubber. This discovery was a major technological breakthrough for the advancement of the world economy. Vulcanization of rubbers by sulfur alone is an extremely slow and inefficient process. The chemical reaction between sulfur and the Rubber Hydrocarbon occurs mainly at the C = C (double bonds) and each crosslink requires 40 to 55 sulphur atoms (in the absence of accelerator). The process takes around 6 hours at 140°C for completion, which is uneconomical by any production standards. The vulcanizates thus produced are extremely prone to oxidative degradation and do not possess adequate mechanical properties for practical rubber applications. These limitations were overcome through inventions of accelerators which subsequently became a part of rubber compounding formulations as well as subjects of further R&D. Following is the summary of events which led to the progress of ‘Accelerated Sulfur Vulcanization'.

All the synthesized compounds were tested in vitro to verify whether they exhibited anticancer activity against the human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. Among them, two most active ones, having IC50 values of 50 and 42 µM, respectively, were found to show higher anticancer activity than chlorambucil used as the reference in the in vitro tests. In addition, two other compounds, which had IC50 values of 78 and 91 µM, respectively, exhibited a similar level of activity as chlorambucil.

The title compounds were obtained by a three-step synthesis, starting from 4-dichloromethylchlorophenyl sulfone. It was nitrated and then subjected to the SNAr reaction with sodium disulfide to give proper diphenyl disulfide, which was next chlorinated by chlorine. The obtained phenylsulfenyl chloride was transformed into sulfenamide derivatives by reactions with amines.

  • Insight Into Vulcanization Mechanism of Novel Binary Accelerators for Natural Rubber*
    Chinese Journal of Polymer Science Vol. 32, No. 8, (2014), 1077−1085 Chinese Journal of Polymer Science © Chinese Chemical Society Institute of Chemistry, CAS Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014 Insight into Vulcanization Mechanism of Novel Binary Accelerators for * Natural Rubber Shu-yan Yanga, Zhi-xin Jiab**, Lan Liub, Wei-wen Fub, De-min Jiab and Yuan-fang Luob a Chemical Industrial Cleaner Production and Green Chemical R&D Center of Guang Dong Universities, Dongguan University of Technology, Dongguan 523808, China b College of Materials Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510641, China Abstract A novel TU derivative, N-phenyl-N′-(γ-triethoxysilane)-propyl thiourea (STU), is prepared and its binary accelerator system is investigated in detail. Compared to the control references, the optimum curing time of NR compounds with STU is the shortest, indicating a more nucleophilic reaction occurs. The Py-GC/MS results present that the phenyl iso- thiocyanate fragment still remains in the NR/STU compounds with or without extracting treatment, but no silane segment can be found in the vulcanizate with extracting treatment. Vibrations of C=S, NH and aromatic ring in FTIR experiments and a new methyne carbon peak, as well as the peaks of phenyl group of STU, in the solid state 13C-NMR experiments are found in the NR/STU vulcanizate with extracting treatment. Moreover, the crosslinking density of vulcanizates with STU evolves to lower level, indicating the sulfur atom of STU does not contribute to the sulfur crosslinking. Therefore, a new vulcanization kinetic mechanism of STU is propounded that the thiourea groups can graft to the rubber main chains as pendant groups by chemical bonds during the vulcanization process, which is in accordance with the experimental observations quite well.

CARUTHERS,* VENKAT VENKATASUBRAMANIAN SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING,PURDUE UNIVERSITY WEST LAFAYETTE, IN 47906-1283 KENNETH A. WALKER CHEMICAL PRODUCTS BUSINESS UNIT,CATERPILLAR,INC. P.O. BOX 400, MOSSVILLE,IL 61552-4000 ABSTRACT The chemistry of accelerated sulfur vulcanization is reviewed and a fundamental kinetic model for the vulcaniza- tion process is developed. The vulcanization of natural rubber by the benzothiazolesulfenamide class of accelerators is studied, where 2-(morpholinothio) benzothiazole (MBS) has been chosen as the representative accelerator. The reaction mechanisms that have been proposed for the different steps in vulcanization chemistry are critically evaluated with the objective of developing a holistic description of the governing chemistry, where the mechanisms are consistent for all reaction steps in the vulcanization process. A fundamental kinetic model has been developed for accelerated sulfur vul- canization, using population balance methods that explicitly acknowledge the polysulfidic nature of the crosslinks and various reactive intermediates. The kinetic model can accurately describe the complete cure response including the scorch delay, curing and the reversion for a wide range of compositions, using a single set of rate constants. In addition, the concentration profiles of all the reaction intermediates as a function of polysulfidic lengths are predicted. This detailed information obtained from the population balance model is used to critically examine various mechanisms that have been proposed to describe accelerated sulfur vulcanization.
