Notes:
A new technique has been established for improving the degree of mixing of the filler in an elastomer matrix. This technique includes a unique heating and colling mixing procedure in conjunction with surface modification of the carbon black and proper choices of polymers. The heating cycle is for decreasing the microvoid concentration and for enhancing polymer-filler adhesion. The cooling cycle is for improving the degree of mixing of the filler. Experimental data obtained from several polychloroprene systems strongly substantiate the new mixing technique. The results clearly show that a good degree of mixing obtained using the foregoing mixing technique can indeed enhance the mechanical and permeability properties of filled elastomers.
