Degradation during Mixing of Silica-Reinforced Natural Rubber Compounds
The optimal mixing conditions for silica-filled NR compounds dictate the need to proceed at a high temperature, i.e., 150 °C, to achieve a sufficient degree of silanization. On the other hand, natural rubber is prone to degradation due to mechanical shear and thermal effects during mixing, particula...
