Abstract
Surface modifications produced by treatments (mainly halogenation) of synthetic vulcanized styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) leading to increased adhesion properties with polyurethane adhesives have been studied. T-peel tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), advancing contact angle measurements, infra-red (IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to analyze the nature of surface modifications produced in the rubber. Although some surface heterogeneities were created, physical treatments (ultrasonic cleaning, solvent wiping, abrasion) did not noticeably increase the adhesion strength because certain abhesive substances (e.g. zinc stearate, paraffin wax) cannot be removed from the rubber surface by such treatments. Chemical treatment (chlorination) was carried out using ethyl acetate solutions of trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCI) (1,3,5-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trione). Chlorination of SBR with trichloroisocyanuric acid produced a si...
