Effect of electron-beam irradiation on the thermal vulcanization of a natural rubber compound
The influence of electron-beam irradiation on the thermal vulcanization curing kinetics of a natural rubber compound was investigated by means of rheometric tests [moving die rheometry (MDR)] and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Differences in the storage moduli of compounds with different r...
