Comparing Strength Properties of Natural and Synthetic Rubber Mixtures
Sustainable Construction and Design 2011 COMPARING STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC RUBBER MIXTURES T. Renner, L. Pék Institute for Mechanical Engineering Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, !"#$%&'$(#%*#+(",'+$-.%/122P.%45#67,- www.geti.gek.szie.hu Abstract: During in our research work we examine the condition of developing elastomer – metal connection at manufacturing machine – and car industry hybrid parts. As a first step we have carried out comparison tests relating to the strength properties of synthetic – and natural rubber mixtures. During tests we have compared four mixtures used often in the practice (NR, NBR, EPDM, CR) in three characteric hardnesses (43 Sh 0, 57Sh 0, 72Sh 0). In addition to hardness we have measured the elongation at rupture and the density, too. As a continuation of our tests we researched what connection is between the surface roughness of metal plate and the elastomer – metal bonding formed. Keywords: rubber mixtures, latex, hybrid parts, strength properties 1 INTRODUCTION: CHARACTERIZING THE MIXTURES EXAMINED The natural rubber is the most often used type of mixture of the rubber industry nowadays which is produced from the milk-like fluid (from latex) of certain tropical trees. The latex is a colloid state dispersion, the rubber is precipipated (killed) by acetic – or formic acid from it then is washed, pressed, dried or smoked [2]. After these the quality classification takes place then it is packed in to bales and according to the so called „green book” it is put into commercial circulation. This handbook was accepted by the International Federation of Rubber Producting Nations in 1960 which is a standard publication in classifying rubbers up to present days. -

M.S, Department of Chemistry, Wright State University, 2014. The Curing and Degradation Kinetics of Sulfur Cured EPDM Rubber. Ethylene‐propylene‐diene (EPDM) rubbers containing varying amounts of diene were cured with sulfur using either a moving die rheometer (MDR) or a rubber process analyzer (RPA). The effect of removing curatives and how the curing reaction changed was explored. Kinetic data was extracted from the rheology plots and reaction rate constants were determined by two separate ways: manually choosing points of interest or by a computer model. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page 1.

The mechanical properties, abrasion and swelling resistance of HNTs ranging from 2 parts per hundred rubber (phr) to 10 parts per hundred rubber (phr) were investigated in EPDM/SBR base rubber. Tensile strength, 100% modulus (modulus at 100 percent elongation), elongation at break and tear strength were evaluated at ambient temperature using electric universal tensile testing equipment in accordance with ASTM D-412. Hardness, abrasion and swelling resistance were determined using Shore-A Durometer, DIN abrader and immersion techniques, respectively. The results show that increasing HNT content increased tensile strength, tear strength, hardness (stiffness), and crosslink density. The surface morphology of tensile- fractured material was studied using eld-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). According to FE-SEM results, the most roughness of the surface was seen at HNTs lled rubber nano-composites. 1.

I have been following the controversy over tire crumb rubber for several years and have reviewed a number of the published studies on this matter. I congratulate the governmental agencies for taking up this important matter to establish whether ground up tires used on artificial grass fields in the form of crumb rubber is a suitable for children to play on. After reviewing a number of studies I must conclude that, thus far, the studies are totally inadequate to establish the safety of tire crumb rubber for artificial grass playing fields. Background: A recent study at Yale University was done on shredded tires and tire crumb rubber by Gaboury Benoit, Professor of Environmental Chemistry, Professor of Environmental Engineering, Co- Director of the Hixon Center for Urban Ecology, Director of the Center for Coastal and Watershed Systems. Crumb rubber from tires is a very heterogeneous material coming from tires that have many different chemical compositions so it is legitimate to include shredded tires that are used on https://www.fdms.gov/fdms/getcontent?objectId=0900006481f6e980&format=xml&show..
