Abstract
Abstract The methods of solid-state 13C NMR and physical testing were used to examine carbon black filled natural rubber samples. The rubber samples were vulcanized under varying parameters of sulfur loading, cure times, and cure temperature. At constant cure time and cure temperature, the two testing methods correlate well over a wide range of sulfur concentrations. Varying cure time and cure temperature produced large changes in the mechanical testing results but small change in the 13C NMR analysis of the sulfur vulcanizates.
