Studies on natural rubber-bound diphenylamine antioxidants

Diphenylamine was chemically attached to depolymerised natural rubber by photochemical reaction. The rubber-bound diphenylamine was characterised by TLC, HNMR, IR and TGA. The efficiency and permanence of the bound diphenylamine was compared with conventional amine type antioxidant in natural rubber vulcanizates. The rubber-bound diphenylamine was found to be less volatile and less extractable compared to the conventional antioxidant. The vulcanizates showed improved ageing resistance in comparison to vulcanizates containing conventional antioxidant . Also, the presence of liquid rubber-bound diphenylamine reduces the amount of plasticiser required for compounding.

Studies on Natural Rubber Bound Para -Phenylenediamine Antioxidants in NBR

Para-phenylenediamine (PD) was chemically attached to depolymerized natural rubber by a photochemical reaction . The rubber bound PD was characterized by TLC, 1H-NMR, IR, and TGA. The efficiency and permanence of the bound PD were compared with conventional antioxidants in NBR vulcanizates . The rubber bound PD was found to be less volatile and more resistant to water and oil extraction . The vulcanizates showed improved aging resistance in comparison to vulcanizates containing conventional antioxidants. The liquid rubber bound antioxidant reduces the amount of plasticizer required for compounding

Synthesis and Characterization of Chlorinated Paraffin Wax-Bound Paraphenylenediamine Antioxidant and ItsApplication in Natural Rubber

ABSTRACT: p-Phenylenediamine was chemically attached to low molecular weight chlorinated paraffin wax. The polymer-bound p-phenylenediamine was characterized by vapor-phase osmometry (VPO), proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ('H-NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The efficiency and permanence of the polymer-bound p-phenylenediamine as an antioxidant was compared with a conventional amine-type antioxidant in natural rubber vulcanizates. The vulcanizates showed improved aging resistance in comparison to vulcanizates containing a conventional antioxidant. The presence of liquid polymer-bound p-phenylenediamine also reduces the amount of the plasticizer required for compounding.
