Abstract
Element spectroscopic imaging (ESI) has been applied in transmission e lectron microscopy to investigate the distribution of different second ary accelerators in filled natural and styrene-butadiene rubber system s. Distinct differences between ZnO/stearic acid and zinc stearate wer e observed: A zinc specific imaging was not possible in the zinc stear ate containing samples indicating its molecular distribution, whereas the element spectroscopic image of the ZnO/stearic acid containing sam ple showed the zinc oxide particles as charged in the compounding. Mor phological differences between unvulcanized and vulcanized samples wer e only observed for the zinc stearate samples.
