Studies on Xanthate/Dithiocarbamate Accelerator Combination in NR/BR Blends

Zinc butyl xanthate [Zn(bxt)2] was prepared in the laboratory . The effect of this xanthate with zinc diethyl dithiocarbamate (ZDC) on the vulcanization of natural rubber ( NR), polybutadiene rubber (BR), and NR/BR blend has been studied at different temperatures. The amounts of Zn (bxt)2 and ZDC in the compounds were optimized by varying the amount of ZDC from 0 . 75 to 1.5 phr and Zn (bxt)2 from 0 . 75 to 1 .5 phr. The cure characteristics were also studied . HAF filled NR, BR, and NR / BR blend compounds were cured at different temperatures from 60 to 150 C. The sheets were molded and properties such as tensile strength, tear strength, crosslink density and elongation at break, compression set, abrasion resistance, etc. were evaluated. The results show that the mechanical properties of 80NR/20BR blends are closer to that of NR vulcanizates, properties of 60NR/40BR blends are closer to BR vulcanizates, while the 70NR/30BR blends show an intermediate property.

Polymer-Solvent Interaction Parameter for NR/SBR and NR/BR Blends

Polymer-solvent interaction parameters for the blends of natural rubber (NR) with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and polybutadiene rubber ( BR) are calculated using the Flory-Rehner equation by equating the network density of the vulcanizates in two solvents.

Studies on the Cure Characteristics and Vulcanizate Properties of 50/50 NR/BR Blend

A carbon black filled 50/50 Natural Rubber (NR)/Polybutadiene Rubber (BR) blend is vulcanized using several conventional systems designed by varying the amounts of sulphur and accelerator . The cure characteristics and the vulcanizate properties are compared. The quality and quantity of crosslinks in each case are deciphered by chemical probes to correlate them with the vulcanizate properties.

Development of Polybutadiene (BR)-Polyethylene (LDPE) Blend Based Microcellular Soles for Low-Temperature Applications

Microcellular (MC) soles based on polybutadiene (BR) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) blends for low-temperature applications were developed. A part of BR in BR-LDPE blend was replaced by natural rubber (NR) for property improvement. The BR-NR-LDPE blend-based MC sole shows good technical properties. Sulphur curing and DCP curing were tried in BR-LDPE and NR-BR-LDPE blends. Study shows that sulphur-cured MC sheets possess better technical properties than DCPcured MC sheets. 90/10 BR-LDPE and 60/30/10 BR-NR-LDPE blend combinations are found to be suitable for low-temperature applications.

Curing studies of elastomer blends with special reference to NR/ NBR and NR/BR blends

There are a large number of commercial examples and property advantages of immiscible elastomer blends.73 Blends of natural rubber (NR) and polybutadiene (BR) have shown various advantages including heat stability, improved elasticity and abrasion resistance. Ethylene-propylene-diene-rubber (EPDM) blended with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) has shown improvements in ozone and chemical resistance with better compression set properties. Blends of EPDM and nitrile rubber (NBR) have been cited as a compromise for obtaining moderate oil and ozone resistance with improved low temperature properties. Neoprene (CR)/BR blends offer improved low temperature properties and abrasion resistance with better processing characteristics etc. However, in many of the commercial two-phase elastomer blends, segregation of the crosslinking agents, carbon black or antioxidants preferentially into one phase can result in failure to attain optimum properties. Soluble and insoluble compounding ingredients are found to be preferentially concentrated in one phase. The balance of optimum curing of both phases therefore presents a difficult problem. It has been the aim of this study to improve the performance of commercially important elastomer blends such as natural rubber (NR)/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and natural rubber/polybutadiene rubber (BR) by industrially viable procedures

New accelerator system for low temperature curing of elastomers with special reference to NR, NBR and NR/BR blends

The primary objective of this work is to develop an efficient accelerator system for low temperature vulcanization of rubbers. Although xanthates are known to act as accelerators for low temperature vulcanization, a systematic study on the mechanism of vulcanization, the mechanical properties of the vulcanizates at varying temperatures of vulcanization, cure characteristics etc are not reported. Further. xanthate based curing systems are not commonly used because of their chance for premature vulcanization during processing. The proposed study is to develop a novel accelerator system for the low temperature vulcanization of rubbers having enough processing safely. lt is also proposed to develop a method for the prevulcanisation of natural rubber latex at room temperature. As already mentioned the manufacture of rubber products at low temperature will improve its quality and appearance. Also, energy consumption can be reduced by low temperature vulcanization. in addition, low temperature vulcanization will be extremely useful in the area of repair of defective products, since subjecting finished products to high temperatures during the process of repair will adversely affect the quality of the product. Further. room temperature curing accelerator systems will find extensive applications in surface coating industries.

Soluciones isotónicas versus hipotónicas como líquidos de mantenimiento en niños en estado crítico

El desarrollo de hiponatremia aguda en los pacientes hospitalizados se ha asociado con el uso de líquidos de mantenimiento hipotónicos.3,5-7,11-13,15-21 El propósito de este estudio es determinar si el uso de soluciones hipotónicas (60 meq/l Na) como líquidos de mantenimiento en niños críticos inducen más hiponatremia aguda que soluciones isotónicas (lactato ringer). Método: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de cohorte, que incluyó los niños que ingresaron a la UCIP de la Fundación Cardioinfantil desde septiembre de 2009 a diciembre de 2011 con edades entre 6 meses y 10 años, quienes requirieron líquidos endovenosos de mantenimiento con 60 meq/l de sodio o lactato Ringer. Resultados: En total se estudiaron 117 pacientes de los cuales 71 niños recibieron 60 meq/L de Na y 46 recibieron lactato Ringer, las características demográficas y clínicas fueron similares en ambos grupos. De los pacientes que recibieron 60 meq/L de sodio se encontró hiponatremia en un 28,1% ( n= 20) vs 17.4% ( n=8) de los que recibieron 130 meq /l sodio, sin observar diferencias significativas ( RR 1,863 IC95% 0,779- 4,680 p=0.1302) . Conclusiones: En niños críticos que requieren líquidos de mantenimiento no se encontraron diferencias en la frecuencia de aparición de hiponatremia sintomática inducidas por el tipo de solución utilizada. El lactato de Ringer y la Dextrosa con 60 mq/lit de sodio fueron seguros y efectivos para sostener el estado de hidratación.

Autoclinimetría aplicada colectivamente en pacientes Latinoamericanos con Artritis Reumatoide

Para aplicar esquemas terapéuticos como la terapia de control estrecho en pacientes con Artritis Reumatoide (AR), Es necesario contar con mediciones objetivas de la actividad de la enfermedad. Para esto se han creado las herramientas de clinimetría. Las hay desarrollados con mediciones hechas por el médico, como elDAS28, el SDAI y el CDAI ó realizadas mediante cuestionario auto administrados, como los RAPID, producto del cuestionario R808-NP2-Spanish, ó el esquema SAI para auto conteo articular. Existen dudas respecto a la validez del cuestionario R808-NP2-Spanish, en pacientes de origen hispánico. Objetivo: Estipular el grado de asociación existente, entre las medidas de actividad de la Artritis reumatoide (AR), producidas mediante las herramientas de clinimetria auto-administradas, (cuestionario R808 - Np2- Spanish y esquema SAI), con las mediciones de clinimetria producidas mediante las mediciones realizadas por el personal médico entrenado y marcadores inflamatorios(DAS28 PCR, CDAI, SDAI), cuando dichas herramientas se aplican de forma colectiva a un grupo de pacientes latinoamericanos con AR. Métodos y Resultados: Este fue un estudio de corte trasversal en el que se analizaron 130 pacientes con AR, mediante los RAPID, el DAS28PCR el CDAI y el SDAI. Se encontraron variabilidades compartidaentre los RAPID y el CDAI y SDAI mayor al 50% (p<0,0001) y un kappa de 0,76; 0,74 y 0,61 entre DAS28 PCR 4V y los RAPID 3, 4 y 5 (p<0,000); un kappa de 0,54; 0,57 y 0,69 entre el CDAI y los RAPID 3, 4 y 5 (p<0,000) y un kappa de 0,49; 0,50 y 0,63 entre el SDAI y los RAPID 3, 4 y 5 (p<0,000). Conclusión: El origen hispanoamericano no parece afectar la validez de los RAPID ni de los auto-conteos articulares por el esquema SAI.
