Abstract:
The purpose of this research project is to model the rheological behaviour of elastomers and elastomer compounds. Two elastomers (natural rubber, SMR 20 and chlorosulphonated polyethylene, Hypalon 40) and three different grades of carbon black at three different levels of loading were chosen for this study. Mixing was carried out with a Farrel Bridge BR Banbury mixer, followed by subsequent milling on a two-roll mill. Rheological measurements were made with parallel plate, cone and plate and Negretti biconical rotor TMS rheometers . . The effect of temperature on viscosity was investigated by

Abstract:
To modify the rheological behaviour of rubber compounds, in order to improve their processing behaviour, lubricants based on fatty acid derivatives are added at the mixing stage. This research has been directed towards identifying the modes of action of commercially available lubricants in a number of elastomers and elastomer compounds, with the objective of providing a rational basis for the further development of lubricants. The primary tool for rheological measurement was an advanced biconical rotor rheometer (Negretti TMS Rheometer); and a capillary rheometer was used to provide an indepen

Abstract:
A comprehensive experimental and analytical study is done on tribological behaviour of elastomers. According to the results, ascending rate of wear and friction changes with variation of operating variables and mechanical properties. New approaches are described for a better understanding of wear and friction process. Furthermore, to predict the wear rate a non-linear equation is developed by quantifying contribution of operating variables and mechanical properties. This study provides enhanced insight into elastomers wear in practice.

In the past, the use of a fracture mechanics approach to describe crack growth in elastomers has been shown to work well for specimens of simple test geometry, simply loaded. This has been the case because elastic strain energy density (e.s.e.d.) functions could reliably be used to calculate both the magnitude of elastic stored energy available to drive a crack and the magnitude of the rate of release of such energy as the crack grows. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the applicability of such a methodology to situations of more complex loading. To this end two novel test-piece geomet
