Abstract

The structural mechanical properties of natural rubber with various types of fillers and different degrees of dispersion (chalk, TiO 2, polystyrene) subjected to strain in air and in the presence of an adsorption-active medium (alcohol) are studied. It is shown that in alcohol the strain mechanism depends on the nature of the filler. The structure of crazes formed in natural rubber filled with polystyrene subjected to strain in alcohol is studied. Preliminary cyclic loading can make the action of the adsorption-active medium on filled rubber less efficient.
