摘要

The loop tack, peel strength and shear strength of cross-linked epoxidized natural rubber (ENR-50)/acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) blend adhesives were studied in the presence of coumarone-indene resin. Benzoyl peroxide was used as the cross-linking agent with dosage ranging from 1 to 5 parts per hundred rubber by weight (phr). Toluene was used as the solvent throughout the investigation. A SHEEN hand coater was used to coat the adhesive on a polyethylene terephthalate substrate at 60 and 120 mu m coating thickness. The adhesive was cured at 80 degrees C for 30 min prior to testing on a Lloyd adhesion tester operating at various testing rates from 10 to 60 cm min(-1). Results show that loop tack and peel strength of the ENR-50/NBR adhesives pass through a maximum value at 4 phr of benzoyl peroxide dosage. This observation is attributed to the increase in cohesive strength which culminates at 4 phr benzoyl peroxide loading. However, shear strength increases steadily with dosage of benzoyl peroxide due to the continuous increase in the cohesive strength as cross-linking of the rubber blend proceeds. In all cases, the adhesion properties increase with increasing coating thickness and testing rates.
