摘要

The NR/SBR sample was lightly crosslinked with CB and cut apart

then

healed at 80°C and 0.6 MPa. Finally

free-chain interdiffusion facilitates self-healing within an hour. The maximum self-healing performance was 40% for 25/75 phr of NR/SBR. Additionally

wet grip at 0ºC and rolling resistance at 60ºC result in optimal energy savings.

Abstract

Crosslinking natural rubber (NR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) composites with carbon black (CB) have been utilized in the tire tread industry. A sulfur-based lightly crosslinker can potentially enhance the self-healing capabilities of rubber. Moreover

the rubber composites were studied for non-covalent interactions between the benzene rings of SBR and CB. In this research

rubber samples were prepared

and their structure was investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)

and Raman spectroscopy. The red shift in Raman spectroscopy confirmed non-covalent interaction or hydrophobic interaction between SBR and CB in NR/SBR composites exposed to CB due to environmental change. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms showed that NR and SBR were incompatible. Additionally

the mechanical properties of these rubber blends were enhanced as the proportion of NR increased. The maximum self-healing performance reached 40% for the formulation containing 25 phr NR and 75 phr SBR

which also saved energy with low chain end movements. Therefore

these composites could be utilized as a semi-empirical model for studying crosslinked rubber blends

specifically in the rubber tire industry.
