Carbon black bridges

The degree of compaction estimated from the S-MK line represents the less effective compaction, when more material (an increased thickness) was to be compacted. The structure, resulting from the carbon black bridges, hinders an effective compaction as previously discussed. This situation may correspond to the compaction at the zone in front of the rotor tip in the internal mixer. In the above interpretation, the effect of shear on the compaction has not yet been considered. This subject will be discussed in the next section. 

Rubber has a structure intermediate between thermosets and thermoplastics, with molecular chains linked by sulphur bridges during vulcanization. In pyrolysis, the main material is tyre rubber, a compound of styrene- butadiene- and isoprene-based rubber (SBR), of carbon black, sulphur, vulcanization aids, and zinc oxide. 

Electric resistivity. The electric resistance measurement is the same as discussed below under volume resistivity, to which this measurement is temporary adapted. For flexible materials, special electrode systems are developed to clamp sample and electric wires. The measuring equipment is based on a Wheatstone bridge circuit. The conductivity of metal powder-containing epoxy was measured in special dies equipped with built-in brass electrodes inserted to the die. The material was cured in the die to assure good contact with electrodes. Special sample holders and clamping devices are used for precise determination of rubber compounds containing carbon black. ...

Carbon bridges, consisting of nothing more than a dab of water-based colloidal carbon black between two closely-set conductive areas in a molded plastic plug, are the resistors in the most sensitive electric primers and they use one of the most heat-sensitive, stable prime explosives, i.e. normal lead styphnate with some lacquer, as in the Electric Fuze Primer Mk 121. 

MWNTs can be electrically induced into aligned chains in a styrene-based SMP/carbon black (CB) composite and serve as long-distance conductive channels to bridge the CB aggregates in the SMP matrix. Compared with the samples without nanotubes [e.g., CB (15 wt%)/SMP composite] or with randomly distributed nanotubes e.g., MWNT (random, 1 wt%)/CB (15 wt%)/ SMP composite], the electrical resistivity is reduced by over 100-fold in composites with chained nanotubes [e.g., MWNT (chained, 1 wt%)/CB (15 wt%)/SMP composite]. With a DC voltage of 25 V, the MWNT (chained, 1 wt%)/CB (15 wt%)/SMP composite demonstrates much faster shape recovery than either the CB (15 wt%)/SMP composite or the MWNT (random, 1 wt%)/ CB (15 wt%)/SMP composite (Figure 2.7). ... 

The resulting mixture has a quite complicated structure (Table 37-2). Normally, the amounts of additives are given in terms of parts per hundred parts of rubber, phr. The rubber provides the elastomer with the required viscoelastic properties. Sulfur forms the cross-link bridges between molecular chains the cross-linking shifts the property spectrum from viscous towards elastic. Carbon black as filler fulfills two functions to cheapen the product as a classical filler, and to increase the mechanical strength as what is known as...
