Abstract
The mechanical properties, curing characteristics, and swelling behaviour of vulcanized natural rubber with a novel binary accelerator system are investigated. Results indicate that the mechanical properties were improved. Crosslinking density of vulcanized natural rubber was measured by equilibrium swelling method. As a result, the new binary accelerator was found to be able to improve both cure rate and crosslinking density. Using the numerical analysis of test interaction between binary accelerator and operational modelling of vulcanization‐factors experiments, it can be concluded that the interaction (Cystine, N‐cyclohexyl‐2‐benzothiazyl sulfenamide) was significant and the optimum value of binary accelerator was suggested, respectively, at levels 0 and +1.
