Abstract:For the actual storage and serving, a phenomenon of hardening and cracking always occurs in the natural rubber (NR), which sharply reduces the mechanical performance and hinders the further application of NR. Recently, some type of constant-viscosity agent has played a key role to be used for the treatment of NR, especially for the effect of ozone aging resistance. In this study, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) was introduced into NR, and the constant viscosity and ozone aging resistance of NR with different con… 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.
