Abstract
The adhesion between rubber compound and brass-plated steel cord of rubber-brass composites with different cure levels was investigated in relation to the formation and growth of their adhesion interphase examined with AES spectroscopy. The optimum-cured adhesion sample showed a maximum pullout force, but the pullout forces of samples under-cured and over-cured were low. The adhesion property of under-cured adhesion samples enhanced with humidity aging due to further curing of rubber and supplementary growth of the adhesion interphase. Cure level exhibiting good adhesion was discussed based on the composition and structure of the adhesion interphase and the crosslinking density of the rubber layer attached to the interphase.
