An important property affecting the integrity of a tyre is the adhesion between rubber and reinforcements such as metal cords. Standard tests used to evaluate rubber-metal adhesion fail to predict the intrinsic interfacial behaviour. A novel test protocol, referred to as the Rubber Cord Adhesion Inflation Test (RCAIT), has therefore been developed. In this work, RCAIT is used to compare the performance of four different adhesive systems (two rubber types and two cord coatings). In addition, the effect of fluid injection rate on crack propagation pressure is evaluated and is correlated to the sensitivity of the tensile behaviour of the rubber to strain rate. Some improvements in the RCAIT analysis are also proposed here. A thick rubber tube inflation model is proposed in conjunction with the Ogden model for hyperelastic behaviour that can be applied to other elastomeric models as well. In conclusion, the relationship between crack propagation speed and Critical Strain Energy Release Rate (SERR) is discussed.

“…Cords-reinforced rubber composites are applied in the fields of high-pressure hoses, conveyor belts, transmission belts as well as tires. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] At present, the reinforced fibers for producing tire cords are usually nylon, polyester, and steel fibers. [8][9][10] However, these fibers possess many disadvantages including inferior dimensional stability (nylon fibers), low strength (polyester fibers), and poor corrosion resistance (steel fibers).…”

High-strength-high-modulus polyimide (PI) cords reinforced natural rubber (NR) composites are prepared, and the PI cords are treated with resorcinolformaldehyde-latex (RFL) adhesive to enhance the interfacial adhesion with NR matrix. The influence of RFL adhesive variables, such as the ratio of R/F and RF/L, on the adhesion between PI cords and NR is investigated. Furthermore, sorbitol glycidyl ether (SGE) and caprolactam blocked methylene diisocyanate (CBI) are adhered to the surface of the PI cords through a dipcoating procedure to introduce epoxy and NCO groups and graft with more RFL adhesive. The H pull-out force of SGE/CBI-RFL treated PI cords/NR composites reaches as high as 193.9 N, which is 580% higher than that of untreated PI ones. Additionally, the SGE/CBI-RFL treated PI cords/NR composites exhibit superior adhesion, aging, and fatigue resistance together with better mechanical properties as compared with SGE/CBI-RFL treated poly(paraphenylene terephtalamide) (PPTA) cords/NR composites.
