Abstract
Abstract The following conclusions can be drawn from our studies: (1) An optimum molecular weight (Mn=2095) exists for t-octylphenol-formaldehyde resin to give maximum autohesion to rubber compounds. A critical level of the phenolic resin is required in a given rubber compound to make the tackifying action effective. In addition, the presence of polar groups in a resin molecule is a structural requirement in order for the resin to provide tackiness to rubber compounds. (2) The autohesion of a rubber compound decreases as the loading of processing oil increases from 5 phr to 25 phr. This behavior is independent of the type of oil. (3) The autohesion of a rubber compound decreases with increasing carbon black level, surface area, and structure. (4) Autohesion maximizes at an optimum molecular weight of rubber. (5) Humidity has a pronounced effect on the autohesion of aged SBR compounds, whereas very little effect on that of aged NR compounds. (6) A dual diffusion-adsorption mechanism is operative in autohesion.
