Abstract
ABSTRACTNatural rubber filled with poly(sodium‐4‐styrenesulfonate) (PSS)‐decorated carbon black (CB) by employing a latex compounding technique was prepared. The result of scanning electron microscope demonstrated that CB was uniformly dispersed in the matrix. Comparing to traditional dry compounding, an improvement in physical and mechanical properties was observed in the composites attributed to the homogeneous distribution of CB in matrix and an augment of bound rubber. Owing to the changes of the physical properties of CB surface, vulcanizate filled with oxidized CB via latex way exhibited higher mechanical properties. The resulting vulcanizates displayed a diminished interaction between fillers based on the consequence of strain dependence of storage modulus. Furthermore, a splendid wet‐skid resistance was obtained in vulcanizates fabricated by latex compounding technique in comparison with vulcanizates prepared by traditional dry compounding. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
