Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Zinc salts of ethyl, isopropyl, and butyl xanthates were prepared in the
laboratory. They were purified by reprecipitation and were characterized by IR, NMR,
and thermogravimetric analysis techniques. The melting points were also determined.
The rubber compounds with different xanthate accelerators were cured at temperatures
from 30 to 150°C. The sheets were molded and properties such as tensile strength,
tear strength, crosslink density, elongation at break, and modulus at 300% elongation
were evaluated. The properties showed that all three xanthate accelerators are effective
for room temperature curing.

Abstract:
Cure characteristics and mechanical properties of short nylon fiber reinforced
acrylonitrile butadiene rubber-reclaimed rubber composites were studied. Minimum
torque, (maximum-minimum) torque and cure rate increased with fiber
concentration. Scorch time and cure time decreased by the addition of fibers.
Properties like tensile strength, tear strength, elongation at break, abrasion loss
and heat build up were studied in both orientations of fibers. Tensile and tear
properties were enhanced by the addition of fibers and were higher in the longitudinal
direction. Heat build up increased with fiber concentration and were
higher in the longitudinal direction. Abrasion resistance was improved in presence
of short fibers and was higher in the longitudinal direction. Resilience increased
on the introduction of fibers. Compression set was higher for blends.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: p-Phenylenediamine was chemically attached to low molecular weight chlorinated
paraffin wax. The polymer-bound p-phenylenediamine was characterized by
vapor-phase osmometry (VPO), proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ('H-NMR),
infrared spectroscopy (IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The efficiency and
permanence of the polymer-bound p-phenylenediamine as an antioxidant was compared
with a conventional amine-type antioxidant in natural rubber vulcanizates. The
vulcanizates showed improved aging resistance in comparison to vulcanizates containing
a conventional antioxidant. The presence of liquid polymer-bound p-phenylenediamine
also reduces the amount of the plasticizer required for compounding.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: The dipping characteristics of radiation-vulcanized natural rubber latex
and natural rubber latex compounds were investigated with a lab-model semiautomatic
dipping machine. The effect of the variation of the speed of immersion and withdrawal,
dwell time, compound viscosity, and concentration of coagulant on the thickness of the
latex deposit was investigated. The results of the study show that the deposit thickness
depends on the withdrawal speed of the former, the concentration of the coagulant,
dwell times, and the viscosity of the latex compounds
