Peroxide curatives

Although these curative systems may also be used with the polyepichlorohydrin elastomers containing AGE, the polymers were developed to be cured with conventional mbber curatives, sulfur, and peroxides. These polymers containing the pendent aHyl group are readily cured with a typical sulfur cure system such as zinc oxide, and sulfur along with the activators, tetramethylthiuram mono sulfide [97-74-5] (TMTM) and... 

Some of the terpolymers containing high levels of AGE give superior sour gasoline and ozone resistance, particularly dynamic ozone resistance. Since the unsaturation is not in the polymer backbone, it can be, and apparentiy is, sacrificed under sour gasoline or ozone aging. This protection scheme is limited with the peroxide and sulfur cure systems as they involve the aHyl functionaUty of the polymer. The protection is maximized when a dinucleophilic curative, such as trithiocyanurate, is used. 

There are two approaches to forming urethane-acrylic hybrids. First, an acrylate terminated urethane oligomer can be used [147]. Alternatively, polyisocyanate and benzoyl peroxide can be combined in one side of the adhesive, and methacrylate monomers and urethane curatives (especially polyols) in the other [148].

Another vulcanizing agent for diene rubbers is m-phenylenebismaleimide. A catalytic free-radical source such as dicumyl peroxide or benzothiazyldisulfide (MBTS) is commonly used to initiate the reaction [61]. Phenolic curatives, benzoquinonedioxime, and m-phenylenebismaleimide are particularly useful where thermal stability is required. 

Curatives (sulfur, accelerators, peroxides, sulfur-donor systems, etc.)... 

Unreacted free sulfur can be determined to ISO 7269 1995 — Rubber — Determination of free sulfur. Three methods for the determination of free sulfur in vulcanized rubber are detailed two versions of the copper spiral method and the sodium sulfite method. The copper spiral methods are also applicable, subject to limitations, to unvulcanised rubber. The technique of DSC can detect non-reacted rubber curatives such as residual peroxides. 

Zinc peroxide is used as the curative for carboxylated acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (XNBR) compounds. It confers better scorch safety than does zinc oxide. It is usually added in a masterbatch form. 

Nonsulfur Vulcanizing Agents. Many high performance specialty elastomers do not contain diene moieties in their molecular structure and therefore cannot be sulfur-cured. These elastomers require cross-linking agents capable of reacting with the specific functional group(s) contained by the specific elastomer. Some common nonsulfur curatives include peroxides, difunctional resins, and metal oxides. 

Examples of organic reactions in green solvents abound. One example is described in the oxidation of cyclohexenes with 30% hydrogen peroxide (Sato et al., 1998). Cur-rendy, the industrial production of adipic acid uses nitric acid oxidation of cyclohexa-...

Curatives. The function of curatives is to cross-link the polymer chains into a network the most common ones are the sulfur type for unsaturated rubber and peroxides for saturated polymers. Chemicals called accelerators may be added to control the cure rate in the sulfur system these materials generally are complex organic chemicals containing sulfur and nitrogen... 

Cure system species, accelerators and their reaction products This class of additive can present problems as they are often thermally labile, reactive and, in some cases, have a degree of ionic character (e.g. zinc dithiocarbamate salts). In these cases LC-MS is a more appropriate technique than GC-MS. It is also easier to use LC-MS with a number of the approved food simulants as they can be injected directly into the instrument, being compatible with the mobile phase. In some cases the reaction products (e.g. aniline from diphenyl guanidine, and benzothiazole from thiazole and sulphonamide accelerators) are stable and so GC and GC-MS can be used. Peroxides are popular curatives for food use rubbers and the stable, breakdown products of these can be easily detected by GC-MS. 

The active sites of the bromoperoxidase from A. nodosum (a), the chloroperoxidase from Cur. inaequalis (b) and its peroxo form (c). In (c), amino acids proposed to play a role in the activation of peroxide are indicated. Tryptophan (Trp350/Trp338) is replaced by arginine (Arg395) in the bromoperoxidase from the red alga Cor. officinalis. The structure in (d) is based on XAS and EPR data for the reduced, inactive form of the A. nodosum enzyme. See Table 4.5 for structure parameters and references. 

Two important types of elastomeric polyolefin blends are reactor-made iPP/ EPR blends and postreactor blend iPP/EPDM. The latter is called thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs), produced by dynamic vulcanization of blends containing a thermoplastic and an elastomer. To make iPP/EPDM TPV, the two polymers PP and EPDM are mixed with curatives, such as peroxides, phenolic resins, or sulfur with accelerators, and dynamically cured in an extmder resulting in a blend consisting of micrometer-sized elastomer particles dispersed in the PP matrix (20-24). Paraffinic oils are added in the melt mixing process for viscosity control and cost. In iPP/ EPDM TPV, the crystalline iPP resin is normally the minor phase. Recently, polyolefin plastomers have been added to the class of elastomeric polyolefin blends. Polyolefin plastomers are ultralow molecular weight linear low density polyethylenes (ULMW-LLDPE). Nonelastomeric polyolefin blends are blends of polyolefins with mostly nonpolyolefin (other thermoplastic) matrices as mentioned earlier. 

TP Vs are prepared from blends of isotactic PP and EPDM with curatives, such as peroxides, phenolic resins, or sulfur, by using a process called dynamic vulcani-...

This analysis of the vulcanization problems that arise when VF2 /mVE/TFB polymers are subjected to conventional curing systems has led to development of specifically peroxide-curable polymers. Thus, the entire prlem of undesirable response to basic curatives has been tqnpassed and excellent vulcanization b tavior and vulcanizate properties, especiidly low temperature service fluid resistance, have been obtained. 

In SBR the compounding ingredients can be (1) reinforcing fillers, such as carbon black and silica, which improve tensile strength or tear strength (2) inert fillers and pigments, such as clay, talc, and calcium carbonate, which make the polymer easier to mold or extrude and also lower the cost (3) plasticizers and extenders, such as mineral oils, fatty acids, and esters (4) antioxidants, basically amines or phenols, which stop the chain propagation in oxidation and (5) curatives, such as sulfur for unsaturated polymers and peroxides for saturated polymers, which are essential to form the network of cross-links that ensure elasticity rather than flow. 

The accelerated-sulfur vulcanization of these rubbers along with the vulcanization of other rubbers, which are vulcanized by closely related technology, comprises more than 90% of all vulcanization. These rubbers include ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer rubber (EPDM), butyl rubber (HR), halobutyl rubbers, and nitrile rubber (NBR). Nevertheless, we give some consideration to vulcanization by the action of other vulcanization agents such as organic peroxides, phenolic curatives, and quinoid curatives.
