Vulcanization of unfilled natural rubber based compounds in constant magnetic field

Research output: Indexed journal article Articlepeer-review

Abstract

The influence of a constant magnetic field with an induction of 0,20 T on the vulcanization process of unfilled natural rubber based compounds was investigated by specially designed laboratory equipment. The influence was monitored by measuring volume resistivity, mechanical properties and degree of swelling of obtained vulcanizates.

It was found that the application of a constant magnetic field leads to increasing of the volume resistivity and tensile strength and decreasing of the degree of swelling. The magnetic field shows a well-expressed accelerating action on the process of vulcanization, as well as an influence on the vulcanization net characteristics.
