Abstract
The effect of temperature and carbon black (CB) on the mechanical characteristics of styrene-butadine rubber (SBR) and natural rubber (NR) was studied at various temperatures. The relation obtained between true stress and true strain for both types of rubber showed three regions at room temperature and two regions at high temperature. The optimum CB concentration was found to be 95 phr for the unblended samples as it increases the stiffness of the SBR rubber materials at a maximum value. It was also found that the addition of NR to SBR increases the elasticity in the plastic region. The activation energy at the fracture of SBR samples decreased from about 2.7×10−20 to 1.8×10−20 J while for the blended samples NR/SBR it increased from 8×10−20 to 10.1×10−20 J with increasing CB concentration.
