Abstract

The inorganic (mineral) fillers based on kaolinite and montmorillonite are important ingredients which affect the characteristics of polymer mixtures and their products. Apart from rubber, chemistry of sulfur vulcanization affects the vulcanization system, which consists of vulcanizing agent, activators and accelerators. To proceed the sulfur vulcanization, is an important step the interaction between the curing ingredients and the creation of active sulfurating agent, which is involved in the networking of rubber macromolecules. This article is concerned with examining the interactions between the components of the vulcanization system and modified mineral fillers on the basis of clay minerals, namely phyllosilicates structure type 1:1 (kaolinite) and structure type 2:1 (montmorillonite), without the use of a polymeric matrix. Prepared n-component systems of the type of component / components – clay (in 1:1 ratio by mass) were studied by IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and thermal methods that allow detection of changes in the course of reactions rubber components, without the presence of the rubber matrix.
