S. Borros et N. Agullo, Some contributions to the understanding of the accelerating system during natural rubber vulcanization - I. Behavior of sulfenamide, KAUT GUM KU, 53(3), 2000, pp. 131-136
A method based on the modeling approach has been developed for the study of
Natural Rubber vulcanization using two different accelerating systems, Squ
alene has been chosen as the model compound, The main reaction paths follow
ed by sulfenamide (N-cyclohexylamine-2-benzothiazole, CBS) during the first
stages of the process have been studied, In all cases, the active role of
ZnO and the olefinic chain has been established.
