Styrene—Butadiene Rubber

  • Chapter
Developments in Rubber Technology—2

Part of the book series: The Developments Series ((POLS,volume 37))

Summary

The historical development of SBR including trends in manufacturing methods is outlined. Variables in micro- and macro-structure are analysed and the properties of the polymer are compared with those of natural rubber. The processability of SBR is considered in some detail and attention is given to recent methods of assessing mixability and other processing characteristics.

Compared with natural rubber SBR compounds are lacking in green strength. Recent developments using labile crosslinking systems to reduce this deficiency are described. The general vulcanisation behaviour of SBR is reviewed and the network structures of the vulcanisates are compared with those of natural rubber. Whilst the chapter is primarily concerned with emulsion SBRs, which constitute the bulk of the market, the relative merits and demerits of the newer solution polymers are considered.
