Abstract

We investigated the effects of processing geometry of silica-filled isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR) compounds on its mechanical properties and silica dispersion, using a two roll mill and an internal mixer (banbury mixer). The compound processed with the two roll mill showed the longer induction time ($t_2$), higher maximum torque ($T_{max}$), and better silica dispersion than the compound processed with the internal mixer; however, showed slightly the lower cure index ($t_{90}$). The mechanical properties (hardness, 300% modulus, tensile strength, elongation) of the compound processed with two roll mill were higher than compound done with the internal mixer.

가공기기의 기하학적 구조(geometry)가 실리카 분산에 대해 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해서 롤밀(two roll mill)과 밀폐식 혼합기(internal mixer)를 사용하여 실리카가 충전된 부틸고무 가황물을 제조하여 가황특성, 인장특성 및 실리카 분산을 비교하였다. 가공 시, 롤밀을 사용하여 제조한 배합물은 밀폐식 혼합기를 사용하여 제조한 배합물보다 경화 속도($t_{90}$)는 약간 느렸으나, 긴 유도시간($ts_2$), 높은 최대 토크 값($T_{max}$)을 보였다. 또한 롤밀을 사용하여 제조한 배합물은 실리카 입자의 분산 및 기계적 물성의 특성에 있어서 밀폐식 혼합기를 사용했을시 보다 상대적으로 우수함을 보였다.
