Abstract
Copper-plated steel cord was prepared and its adhesion properties to rubber compounds, which have different loading amounts of both sulfur and accelerator, were examined in comparison with brass-plated steel cord. The lower pullout force of copper-plated steel cord to the rubber compounds was shown compared with brass-plated steel cord. The copper-plated steel cord showed higher adhesion retention to rubber compounds than brass-plated steel cord against various hostile environments. The stability against both humidity aging and thermal aging, and the cause for the high adhesion retention of the copper-plated steel cord to rubber compounds, were discussed compared with those of the brass-plated steel cord. The pullout force of copper-plated steel cord to rubber compound is inversely correlated with cure rate after various aging treatments.
