Adhesion Properties of Rubbers Modified by Surface Active Substances

Abstract The introduction of anionic surface active substances into butadiene-styrene rubbers doubles or trebles the work of delamination (A) for fabric-rubber bonds. The increase of A is due to a rise in mechanical loss through a higher rate of relaxation of a polymer adsorbed by a filler (τH). A linear dependence between A and logτH is found.
