Research of Structure and Properties of Rubber Mixtures with Adhesion Additives on the Basis of Carbamide

Abstract

The effect of new adhesion promoters on the bond strength of rubber compounds with rubber cord based on synthetic isoprene rubber SKI-3, as well as on the structure of their vulcanizates, is investigated. The synthesized additives were taken as adhesion promoters: 2,4-diphenylcarbamidotoluene (DPKT); 2-isocyanatophenylcarbamidotoluene (IPCT) and the industrial promoter is Manobond 680C. Tests were conducted to determine the adhesion strength to the metal cord and the density of the cross-linking of the obtained rubber compounds by the dosage of additives. It is determined that the maximum value of adhesion had mixture containing 1.2 parts by weight of 2-isocyanato-phenylcarbamidotoluene and Manobond 680C. It was found that the introduction of additives DPCT and IPCT leads to the formation of additional cross-links in the vulcanizates. Rubbers containing additives in an amount of 0.4-1.2 parts by weight have the highest density of crosslinking. The studies made it possible to hypothesize the relationship between the particle size and the electrokinetic potential of blocked urea-based isocyanates with the strength of brass-metal cord-rubber bonding. The results obtained indicate that the greater the electrokinetic potential of the synthesized additives and the lower the average particle size, the better the additive is distributed in the rubber compound and affects the formation of the adhesive layer at the brass-metal cord-rubber interface.
