Abstract

Changes of crosslink densities of resole-cured NR composites by thermal aging were studied. The thermal aging was performed at $50-90^{\circ}C$. The crosslink density change increased with increase of the aging temperature and then decreased. Level of the crosslink density change decreased with increase of the resole content. Increase of the crosslink density by the thermal aging was explained with the formations of new crosslinks by combination reactions of pendent groups terminated by resoles and crosslinking reactions by pendent groups having methylol or o-methylene quinone intermediate. And decrease of the crosslink density by the thermal aging was explained with the dissociations of the existing crosslinks having dimethylene ether linkages.

레졸로 가교된 NR 복합체의 열노화에 의한 가교밀도변화를 연구하였다. 노화 온도는 $50-90^{\circ}C$였다. 가교밀도 변화는 노화 온도가 올라감에 따라 증가하다 감소하였다. 가교밀도 변화 정도는 레졸 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 열노화에 의한 가교밀도의 증가는 레졸로 마감된 매달린 작용기들의 결합 반응과 메틸올이나 메틸렌 퀴논 중간체를 갖는 매달린 작용기의 가교 반응으로 설명하였다. 그리고 열노화에 의한 가교밀도의 감소는 디메틸렌 에테르 연결을 갖는 기존 레졸 가교의 분해로 설명하였다.
