Vulcanization of Carbon Black-filled Rubber

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ESBR and RAFT ESBR were used after coagulating latex with NaCl and H2SO4. Carbon black N330 (OCI, Korea) was used as a filler when manufacturing the carbon black-filled compound. Zinc oxide (ZnO) and stearic acid (CH3(CH2)16COOH) as additives, N-(1,3-dimethybutyl)-N’-phenyl-phenylenediamine (6PPD) as an antioxidant, sulfur, N-cyclohexyl benzothiazyl sulfenamide (CBS), and diphenyl guanidine (DPG) as vulcanization agents, were purchased from Merck, Kenilworth, NJ, USA.
Tetrahydrofuran (THF, Daejung, Korea) and n-hexane (Daejung, Busan, Korea) were used in order to remove organics from the vulcanizates prior to the swelling experiments. Toluene (Daejung, Korea) was used to confirm the crosslink density. Piperidine (Daejung, Korea), propane-2-thiol (Acros Organics, Waltham, MA, USA), and n-heptane (Samchun, Seoul, Korea) were used to destroy the vulcanizates structure.

Characterization of Zinc Oxide Particles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Zinc oxide (99%) and 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) (99%) in this study were purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). The chemicals were used as received without any purification. Deionized water (18.2 MΩ) was used throughout the studies to prepare the stock solutions and working solutions of 4-CPA. The specific surface area of ZnO particles was determined by the static BET method using a Thermo Finnigan Sorptomatic 1990 series analyzer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Milan, Italy). The band gap energy of ZnO was recorded by a Perkin Elmer Lambda 35 UV-vis-NIR spectrometer (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA) equipped with an integrating sphere at room temperature. The particle size of ZnO was measured on the Nanophox facility (Sympatec, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany).

Synthesis and Characterization of Zinc Trifluoromethanesulfonate Solutions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate was prepared by slurrying zinc oxide (Merck), ZnO, in distilled water, and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (Fluka), CF3SO3H, was added dropwise until the zinc oxide was dissolved. The solution was filtered and the excess of acid and water were boiled off in an oven at ca. 450 K, and Zn(CF3SO3)2 was obtained as a white powder. It was carefully grained and stored in oven at ca. 450 K.
The methanol solutions were prepared by dissolving weighed amounts of anhydrous zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate, Zn(CF3SO3)2, and zinc iodide (Merck), ZnI2, in freshly distilled methanol. The composition of the studied solutions, and their abbreviations are summarized in Table 2.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
