T. Nitschke et B. Benzler, THERMAL-ANALYSIS FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE AN D QUALITY-CONTROL OF RUBBER, Kautschuk und Gummi, Kunststoffe, 50(6), 1997, pp. 492-495
Two methods of the thermal analysis, the thermogravimetry and the dyna
mic difference calorimetry, can be used for quality control and qualit
y assurance of rubber products, They do not need much time, The monito
ring of the composition is possible and the investigation of the compl
ete vulcanization also, There are important application parameters as
for example the glass transition temperature, Optimization of the form
ulation and the vulcanization parameters (time, temperature) are possi
ble by this methods.
