Study of the structure of rubbers with rosin-containing and nanoscale components

Abstract

In the rubber industry there are a large number of products with complex construction. In such products it is important to ensure sufficient adhesion. One of the ways to realise these requirements is the use of adhesion enhancers. Rosin and products based on it are used as adhesion enhancers. The introduction of rosin into rubber compounds reduces their viscosity, significantly increases adhesion and, due to its acidic nature, slows down sub-vulcanisation. In the presence of rosin, dispersion of powdered ingredients is improved and high elastic and dynamic properties of rubbers are maintained
