Notes:
The influence of hydrofuramide (a reaction product of furfural and ammonia) on the network structure and overall kinetics of thiuram vulcanization of natural rubber is reported. The nature of the network structure of the thiuram vulcanizates in the presence and absence of hydrofuramide was determined using triphenyl phosphine (Ph3P) as a chemical probe. The presence of hydrofuramide produces structural complexity of the vulcanizate. The overall kinetics of thiuram vulcanization follows a first-order-rate law in the presence as well as in the absence of hydrofuramide. The rate constant increases while the energy of activation decreases in the presence of hydrofuramide.
