Abstract

The effect of plasticizer concentration on the stress softening, tear strength and stress relaxation of black loaded bromobutyl rubber vulcanizate has been investigated. The stress softening in the rubber vulcanizate, an energy dissipative process at higher strain, may be explained primarily by changes that take place in the rubber phase of the filled vulcanizate. Increased plasticizer concentration leads to decrease in the equilibrium hysteresis. A quantitative relationship between energy density and hysteresis has been derived, which is applicable at and below the elongation at break. Increase in plasticizer concentration results in decrease in the effective diameter of the tip of the tear, which in turn decreases the tear strength. Rate of relaxation decreases with increase in the plasticizer concentration in the carbon-black-filled vulcanizate.
