Background

Elastomer materials are indispensable in the manufacture of ultra-dynamically stressed, temperature- and media-stable components – e.g., tires, drive components, engine mounts, couplings, vibration dampers, hoses, seals, etc., all of which enhance safety and comfort, specifically in the automotive sector. It is particularly important from an economic standpoint to maintain the material’s physicochemical properties – and thus their functional reliability – for the longest possible period of time (service life). The service life of elastomer components is determined and limited largely by aging processes. Over the course of time, mechanical dynamic load (fatigue), oxidation processes, temperature, exposure to UV light (photooxidation), and aggressive media lead to irreversible changes in the physical and chemical properties of an elastomer material, often resulting in premature functional failure of the component concerned [1, 2]. In the mixing...
