Abstract
Abstract There has been a great deal of research on the effects of ground rubber (GR) on the cure characteristics of GR-filled rubber compounds. It has been known that the cure systems of the rubber matrix and GR also had an effect on the cure characteristics and physical properties of GR-filled compounds. In this study, the variation of the crosslink density and crosslink types of recured vulcanizates and fresh vulcanizates, with respect to the cure systems, were investigated by using a three-layered model. In addition, the adhesion forces between recured vulcanizates and fresh vulcanizates were measured, and the fracture surfaces were examined. Depending on the cure systems, the changes in the crosslink density and crosslink types of recured and fresh vulcanizates varied significantly and the failure modes of adhesion specimens were also different.
