Abstract:
Cure characteristics and mechanical properties of acrylonitrile
butadiene rubber/reclaimed rubber blends were studied. Minimum torque,
(ma)dmum -minimum) torque, scorch time, cure time and cure rate decreased in
presence of reclaimed rul3ber. Tensile strength, elongation at break and
compression set increased'with increase in reclaim content. Resilience and
abrasion resistance decreased with reclaim loading. Heat build up was higher for
the blends. The ageing resistance of the blends was inferior to that of the gum
compound.

Abstract:
Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) matrix was reinforced with
different levels of short nylon fiber loading. Cure characteristics and mechanical
properties of composites in longitudinal and transverse directions have been
studied. Cure time was reduced while processability, as indicated by the
minimum torque, was marginally reduced with increase in fiber loading. Tensile
and tear properties improved with fiber concentration and the values were
higher in longitudinal direction of fiber orientation. Abrasion resistance,
resilience and compression set were increased in presence of fibers. Elongation
at break values showed a drastic drop on introduction of fibers. Heat build up
was higher for composites.
