Assessment of the locus of failure of oxygen plasma-treated rubber/polyurethane adhesive joints using XPS and IRATR spectroscopy

“…The increase in the length of the oxygen plasma treatment to 3.5 min produces an increase in T-peel strength up to 1.1 kN m 1 . Previous results 6 show that the treatment of R2 rubber with oxygen plasma facilitates the oxidation of C-C bonds to C-O functionalities.…”

“…The improvement in adhesion is obtained by enhancing the chemical (organic peroxides, 1 cyclization, 2 reactive polyisocyanates, 3 halogenation 4,5 ) and thermodynamic adhesion. An earlier paper 6 demonstrated the effectiveness of the improvement of adhesion of a synthetic vulcanized styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) using oxygen plasma, which was ascribed to an increase in wettability, the creation of surface roughness and some oxidation of the surface.…”

Adesivos poliméricos à base de SBR: influência de diferentes tipos de agentes promotores de adesão

“…Desses substratos, o SBS apresenta compatibilidade com os elastômeros SBR o que favorece a colagem, sem a necessidade de qualquer tratamento superficial. O PVC foi selecionado por causa de sua crescente utilização na indústria moveleira [24,25] .…”

Improved Adhesion of RF Plasma Treated Rubbers by Isocyanate Incorporation to Polyurethane Adhesive

“…A block copolymer synthetic thermoplastic styrene‐butadiene‐styrene rubber (TR) and a vulcanized styrene‐butadiene rubber (VR) were used in this study. VR rubber contains carbon black and silica as fillers, as well as zinc oxide and stearic acid; these compounds react during vulcanization to produce zinc stearate, a compound that generally provides antiadherent properties 33. These rubbers were treated under low‐pressure RF plasma in a barrel type March Plasmod Instruments reactor at 13.56 MHz (Figure 1a), using carbon dioxide.…”
