The roles of curatives such as sulfur (S), N-cyclohexylbenzothiazole sulfenamide (CBS), and
diphenylguanidine (DPG) in the vulcanization of SBR compounds were deduced from a …

Vulcanization kinetics for a SBR compound was studied by using both curemeter and DSC
methods by a kinetic approach. A simplified but realistic model reaction scheme was used to …

Vulcanization is crucial for rubber product processing. The phenomenon of “over-cure on the
outside surface and under-cure at the inside position” often occurs for thick rubber products; …

Controlling and assuring the quality of the manufacture of high precision engineering rubber
components has led to the need to simulate fundamental industrial processes such as …

ABSTRACT A previously developed computer simulation technique was extended for the
optimization of the molding time of a thick rubber article in which a commercial finite element …

A combination of knowledge on curing process of rubber mixes with novel methods of
chemical analysis, a new unconventional approach to analysis of rubber vulcanization is …

This work focusses on the description of the reaction kinetics and thermomechanical effects
during the vulcanization process of rubber materials. Based on the concept of internal …

The paper presents a novel efficient closed form approach to determine the degree of
vulcanization of natural rubber (NR) vulcanized with sulphur in presence of different …

Curing is one of the most important steps in the tire manufacturing process. During this
process, a green tire is formed to the desired shape and the compound is converted to a …

Vulcanized blends of elastomers are employed in several goods mainly to improve physical
properties and reduce costs. One of the most used blends of this kind is that composed by …
