Abstract

Recovery behaviors of unfilled NR, BR, and SBR vulcanizates after aging with a circular deformation were compared to prevent the influence of reinforcing agent. Samples were aged at room temperature, 50, 70, and $90^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. Recovery increased by increasing the measurement time. Instantaneous recoveries less than 1.0 sec were obtained using the recovery variations with the measurement time. For aging at room temperature, difference in the recoveries of the rubber samples was not significant because the aging time was too short. However, for accelerated thermal aging at 50, 70, and $90^{\circ}C$, difference in the recoveries of the rubber samples was significant. Degree of recovery of BR specimen was higher than those of the others, while that of SBR was lowest. However, for accelerated thermal aging at $90^{\circ}C$, recovery of the NR sample was higher than that of the BR one. The initial recovery decreased by increasing the aging temperature and the decrement of SBR was larger than the others. The experimental results were explained with the resilience properties of rubbers and the crosslink density changes by thermal aging.

충전제의 영향을 막기 위해 비보강 NR, BR, SBR 고무 가황물을 원형 변형시켜 노화시킨 후 회복 거동을 비교하였다. 시료는 상온, 50, 70, $90^{\circ}C$에서 10일간 노화시켰다. 측정 시간이 증가함에 따라 회복률은 증가하였다. 노화 후 측정 시간에 따른 회복률의 변화로부터 1.0 초 미만의 순간회복률을 구하였다. 상온 노화에서는 노화 기간이 짧아 고무 간의 회복률 차이가 거의 나타나지 않았다. 하지만 50, 70, $90^{\circ}C$에서의 가속 노화 실험 결과에서는 각 고무 간의 회복률 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. BR의 회복률이 가장 우수하였고, SBR의 회복률이 가장 적었다. 그러나 $90^{\circ}C$ 가속 노화 에서는 NR의 회복률이 BR보다 높게 나타났다. 노화 온도가 높아 질수록 초기 회복률이 감소하였으며, 그 감소 폭은 SBR이 가장 크게 나타났다. 실험 결과는 고무의 반발 특성과 노화에 의한 가교밀도 변화로 설명하였다.
