Abstract

ABSTRACTThe relationships between the structure of the resorcinol‐formaldehyde‐latex (RFL) layer, static adhesion, and interfacial fatigue properties between the RFL‐coated continuous basalt fiber (CBF) cord and a rubber matrix were studied using films prepared from RFL systems with various formulas and H samples prepared with RFL‐coated CBF cord and NR/SBR matrix. Thermomechanical analysis and tensile testing of the RFL films were carried out using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The H pull‐out force and fatigue properties were tested using a universal testing machine and an MTS, respectively. The interfacial fatigue life of the RFL‐coated CBF cord/rubber samples exhibited different variation regularity from the variation of the H pull‐out force as F/R and L/RF changed. The static adhesion reflected the connection strength between the cord and the rubber matrix, whereas the characteristics and the properties of the RFL layer played a decisive role in determining the damage rate of the adhesion. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
