Abstract


The aim of the work was to determine the influence of liquid rubber on selected properties of rubber compound and its vulcanizates. Due to the liquid form of this rubber, it is not possible to completely replace the conventional solid rubber used in the mixture because of problems in further processing. In four experimental tests, we used different amounts of liquid rubber in the recipe together with butadiene-styrene rubber and the compounds we mixed according to the general conditions. We studied the curing characteristics of prepared mixture and we measuremend physical and mechanical properties of study vulcanizates and summarized the individual measured values for each parameter and suggested the greatest importance of the recipe for rubber practice.
