Abstract
Mixtures of group II B and IV B metal oxides in the presence of ethyle ne thiourea (ETU) have been used to cure acrylic rubber (ACM). Cure ch aracteristics and vulcanizate properties have been studied with a view to elucidate the curing mechanism with special reference to the role of metal oxides. CdO-Pbo mixtures Provide best results. The studies on FTIR spectra show that crosslinking occurs at the C-Cl cure site of t he acrylic rubber.
