Abstract:
Blends of polychloroprene rubber and plasticized polyvinylchloride have been prepared
in various compositions and their properties evaluated. The properties of the
blends show that they can be used to replace polychloroprene in many applications
ABSTRACT: Linseed oil is used in the dual roles of the plasticizer and the fatty
acid component of the activator in nitrile rubber vulcanizates. The study shows
that the substitution can substantially improve the mechanical properties in
addition to other advantages such as increased cure rate, reduced leachability
and reduced compound cost.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Rubber seed oil was used as a multipurpose ingredient in natural rubber
(NR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds. The study shows that the oil,
when substituted for conventional plasticiser, imparts excellent mechanical properties
to NR and SBR vulcanizates. Further, it also improves aging resistance, reduces cure
time, increases abrasion resistance and flex resistance, and reduces blooming.
Para-phenylenediamine (PD) was chemically attached to depolymerized natural rubber by
a photochemical reaction . The rubber bound PD was characterized by TLC, 1H-NMR, IR,
and TGA. The efficiency and permanence of the bound PD were compared with conventional
antioxidants in NBR vulcanizates . The rubber bound PD was found to be less volatile and
more resistant to water and oil extraction . The vulcanizates showed improved aging resistance
in comparison to vulcanizates containing conventional antioxidants. The liquid rubber
bound antioxidant reduces the amount of plasticizer required for compounding

Abstract:
Mechanical properties and thermal degradation of natural rubber compounds
containing castor oil were studied to evaluate its suitability as plasticizer.
Naphthenic oil was used as a reference plasticizer. The cure time was marginally
lower in the case of castor oil mixes, probably due to the presence offree fatty acids
in it. The tear strength and modulus were better in the case of mixes containing
castor oil, while most of the other mechanical properties were comparable to
the mixes containing naphthenic oil. The heat build up and compression set were
higher than that of the naphthenic oil mixes. Thermal studies showed an increase
of 8 °C in the temperature of initiation of degradation and an increase of 6 °C in
the temperature at which the peak rate of degradation occurred. The peak rate
of degradation was comparable to that of the reference compound
