Abstract

Even though many studies have been reported about rubber vulcanization, it is still remained difficult to find a quantitative relationship between the final states of vulcanized rubber and initial formulation or processing conditions. Dynamic differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method is known as a comparatively easy method to research for the rubber vulcanization in both experimental and analysis. In the present research, a study on the vulcanization reaction of NR/CB composites modified by isoprene(IR) and chloroprene(CR) rubbers is carried out using dynamic DSC method. Thermograms with several different heating rates were obtained and analyzed using the Kissinger method. Analysis showed that the vulcanization reaction was progressed through the first order reaction mechanism. In addition, the reaction temperature was severely influenced by the kinds or rubber modifiers, in this case, more influenced by CR than by IR. Those effects were clearly verified in the values of activation energy. Kinds of carbon blacks, however, could hardly influence on the reaction mechanism.

Dynamic DSC 방법을 이용하여 isoprene(IR) 및 chloroprene(CR) 고무로 개질된 NR/CB 고무 복합체의 가황반응을 연구하였다. 각각의 샘플에 대하여 승온속도를 달리한 열분석 곡선을 얻었고 이로부터 Kissinger의 해석 방법에 따라 가교반응 기구를 연구하였다. 실험에 사용된 고무 복합재료는 대개 $120{\sim}180^{\circ}C$ 사이의 온도영역에서 가교 반응이 일어나는 것이 확인되었으며, 승온속도가 $3^{\circ}C/min$에서 $30^{\circ}C/min$로 빨라질수록 최대반응 속도점의 온도($T_p$)는 점점 높은 쪽으로 이동하였고, 반응 발열량도 상대적으로 커지는 것으로 관찰되었다. Kissinger의 해석방법을 이용하여 실험 데이터를 분석한 결과, 실험에 사용된 샘플의 가교반응은 1차반응에 의해 진행되는 것으로 밝혀졌으며 개질제로서 사용된 고무 중에서 IR을 사용한 경우보다는 CR을 개질제로 사용한 경우에 반응온도에 상대적으로 더 민감한 것으로 판명되었다. 그러나 충전제로 사용된 카본블랙의 경우에는 종류와는 무관하게 반응기구에는 거의 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
