Abstract

AbstractMigration behaviors of antiozonants in carbon black‐filled rubber vulcanizates with different rubber compositions of natural rubber (NR), styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR), and butadiene rubber (BR) were studied at constant temperatures of 40–100°C and outdoors. Three single rubber‐based vulcanizates, three biblends, and three triblends were used. N‐Phenyl‐N′‐isopropyl‐p‐phenylenediamine (IPPD) and N‐phenyl‐N′‐(1,3‐dimethylbutyl)‐p‐phenylenediamine (HPPD) were employed as antiozonants. Migration rates of the antiozonants became faster with increasing the temperature. The order of the migration rates in the single rubber‐based vulcanizates was BR > NR > SBR. The migration rates in the vulcanizates containing SBR, on the whole, increased with decreasing the SBR content, while those in the vulcanizates containing BR decreased with decreasing the BR content. Difference in the migration behaviors of the antiozonants depending on the rubber composition was explained both by the intermolecular interactions of the antiozonants with the matrix and by interface formed between dissimilar rubbers in the blends. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
