This study aims to evaluate the influence of types I and II coagents on different polybutadiene isomers vulcanized with organic peroxides. In this study, dicumyl peroxide (DCP) is used in association with coagents ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and triallyl isocianurate (TAIC) in the crosslinking of high cis‐1,4‐polybutadiene and high vinyl‐1,2‐polybutadiene isomers. The results reveal that using a type I coagent, EGDMA increases the crosslink density as the amount of coagent is increased. The curing index of the samples is positively influenced by coagent type I, mainly when vinyl‐1,2‐polybutadiene is used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
