Effect of silanes as crosslinking agent with the NBR rubber

Abstract

Silane coupling agent generally use as improve the properties of white filler use in rubber compound for better dispersion. Also silane coupling agent reacts with organic filler & polymer chain as crosslink. Here in this research study the crosslink density & swelling phenomena of silane participate in vulcanization process with Nitrile rubber compound. Also show the comparisons of carbon filled and silica filled NBR rubber compound crosslink density property. Silanes increase the viscosity of compound, crosslink density with low swlling resistance.
