Abstract

In this study, the effects of curing system on the hardness of rubber materials at various temperature were investigated. NR and SBR were compounded with various sulfur or peroxide content, in order to obtain various crosslink densities. The changes of hardness and crosslink density were measured as a function of temperature and the relationship was examined. The thermal stresses were also measured in order to investigate the effect of entropy as a function of temperature. The hardness of NR and SBR compounds increased with increasing temperature above room temperature, and the measured thermal stress increased as temperature increased. However, the crosslink densities were not changed by temperature change.

본 연구에서는 다양한 온도에서 고무재료의 경도에 대한 가교시스템의 영향에 대해 고찰하였다. 다양한 가교밀도의 시편을 얻기 위하여, NR과 SBR에 여러 가지 함량의 황 또는 peroxide를 첨가하여 가교하였다. 가교된 고무시편의 온도변화에 따른 경도변화와 가교밀도 변화를 측정하고 상호관계를 고찰하였으며, 시편에 발생하는 온도응력을 측정하여 온도변화에 따른 엔트로피의 변화를 조사하였다. 실온 이상에서 NR과 SBR 시편은 온도가 증가함에 따라 경도가 증가하였으며, 측정된 온도응력도 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 그러나 측정조건 내에서 시편의 가교밀도 변화는 온도의 변화에 의해 거의 영향이 없었고 가교시스템에도 무관하였다.
