It is shown that NMR-linewidth measurements are useful to obtain information about the crosslink density and the average distance between the crosslinks in vulcanized rubber. Inhomogeneous structure of the rubber phase in carbon black-filled rubber is evidence and the thickness of the rubber layer on carbon black is estimated at 50 A˚.
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.
