Renewable conjugated acids as curatives for high-performance rubber/silica composites

.





Sulphur-cured diene-based rubbers generally suffer from insufficient anti-ageing properties, and the curing process involves the use of toxic additives. Renewable conjugated acids are demonstrated to effectively cure epoxidized natural rubber into a high-performance elastomer, without the use of any toxic accelerators or antioxidants.
