Abstract:This paper discusses at length the metal oxide and sulfurfree crosslinking of rubber compounds for carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR) using resols based on p-alkyl phenols (resol crosslinking). It demonstrates that, with the best grade and dosage of resol and the right Krynac X nitrile rubber grade, such a compound can be adjusted to match the overall property profile resulting from traditional crosslinking with zinc oxide/sulfur with even better processing characteristics. Significant improvements can be achi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
