Rubber adhering property

Impact Properties. Chemical Nature of the Rubber. If the rubber is too compatible with the matrix, it will dissolve in the rigid material and disperse on a molecular scale. Little or no reinforcement will occur since the rubber particles become smaller than the radius of the tip of a stress-induced propagating crack. However if it is highly incompatible, good adhesion between rubber and matrix cannot be obtained. For example polybutadiene rubber adheres poorly to a styrene/acrylonitrile copolymer, but a nitrile rubber adheres well to the SAN copolymer. If grafting techniques are used however, compatibility is less of a problem since the rubber is chemically bonded to the matrix. 

The diurethane vulcanization chemistry is even more interesting in the context of bonding mechanisms since certain of its rubber formulations exhibit self-adhering properties. For this reason, it would be instructive to review the diurethane chemistry briefly. 

Tack (or building tack) A property of an elastomer or rubber compounds that causes two layers of compound that have been pressed together to adhere firmly in the areas of contact. It is very important for building tires or other laminated structures. 

Many powdered substances may be treated with methylchlorosilane vapor to change their properties. Untreated clay clumps together because the particles pick up water and adhere, but treated clay maintains its individual particles and flows like a liquid when it is shaken with air. Starch granules likewise stay free flowing after treatment. Many pigments and fillers normally are hydrophilic, but after treatment they remain powdery and are more easily wet by oils, so that it should be easier to mill them into paint vehicles or rubber or plastic masses. 

Solutions of chitosan salts are well known for their adhesive properties (53). Chitosan itself adheres well to nonconducting surfaces, such as paper, rayon, cellophane, wood, leather, rubber, and glass, but not to metal surfaces (57,58). For smooth surfaces, a stronger bond is formed by first applying a thin primer... 

Carbon-black-filled rubber compounds are usually produced on Banbury-type mixers, while conductive thermoplastics are preferably produced on twin-screw extruders. Unlike other filled compounds or polymer blends it is essential to adhere very precisely to the carbon-black concentration and the production parameters, since a very delicate balancing act is usually required to stay on the tight-rope of optimum composition and avoid falling into the pits of insufficient conductivity, inadequate mechanical properties or sharply increased viscosity.

Tack, dry, n—The property of certain adhesives, particularly nonvulcanizing rubber adhesives, to adhere on contact to themselves at some stage in the evaporation of volatile constituents, even though they seem dry to the touch. Sometimes called aggressive tack. The self-adhesion property of certain adhesives which are touch-dry (a stage in the evaporation of volatile constituents).

Unlike natural rubber, filled synthetic rubber compounds (e.g., styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM)) exhibit inherent low tack. The tack property is very important for tyre applications where multiple layers must adhere to each other. The lack of adequate tack may lead to failure of the final product. Long-chain and branched alkyl phenol-based novolac resins have been recommended as tackifier.
