Effects of multi-functional additives in rubber processing
thesis
posted on 2018-05-24, 10:38 authored by Maarof b.Z. AbidinCationic surfactants of general structure [RNH2(CH2)3NH3]2+ 2[R'COO]- can be
used in rubber processing as multifunctional additives (MFA) which act as processing
aids, accelerators and mould release agents. The effects of MFA on gum rubber,
carbon black and silica filled compounds were investigated and attempts have been
made to explain the mechanism of their action. This was done by studying mixing,
vulcanisation behaviour, rheology, and mould release. The principal MFA used was
Akzo-Nobel EN444. [Continues.]
