Abstract
In this paper the results of investigations on the mechanism of EPM pe roxide vulcanizations in the presence of various bis(allyl)esters of a romatic diacids-as coagents-are presented. These coagents are commonly used in the rubber industry to increase the crosslinking efficiency, however, until now the mechanism of this process remained unclear. In our studies it is demonstrated that when using FT-IR spectroscopy in c ombination with equilibrium swelling techniques and atomic force scann ing microscopy, the role of the coagents can be elucidated.
