Silica-Reinforced Deproteinized Natural Rubber | IntechOpen
Reinforcement effect of silica-silane system in deproteinized natural rubber (DPNR) is reported. The influence of mixing temperature and sulfur ranks in silane bis-triethoxysilylpropyl-polysulfide is compared between silica-DPNR and silica-natural rubber (NR). Dispersion morphology of silica and rubber-to-filler interaction in DPNR is visualized by atomic force microscopy and TEM network ...
