Abstract
This paper deals with the peroxide curing of NR. At high temperature a nd high DCP loading, changes in the crosslinking mechanism were observ ed. The results confirm that the crosslink efficiency might be >1. Und er these conditions both mechanisms, abstraction of an allylic hydroge n and addition to the double bond can take place. H-1 NMR, fracture an alysis and tensile stress data reveal that the compound with 3phr DCP crosslinked at 160 degrees C presents a non-uniform distribution of th e crosslinks in the network.
