Abstract

Abstract A carbon black filled 50/50 natural rubber (NR)/styrene‐butadiene rubber (SBR) blend is vulcanized using several conventional curing systems designed by varying the amounts of sulphur and accelerator. The cure characteristics and the properties of the vulcanizates are compared. The quantity and quality of crosslinks in each case are evaluated by chemical probes to correlate them with the vulcanizate properties.
