Abstract (EN)

The effect of accelerator type on vulcanization characteristics and mechanical properties of natural rubber and EPDM was investigated. Also the effect of increasing concentration of MBTS on vulcanization characteristics and mechanical properties of natural rubber was investigated.The results show that the fastest cure time is obtained with thiurams and dithiocarbamates for natural rubber. Sulphenamides, especially TBBS gives the best tensile strength. The best elongation at break is obtained with dithiocarbamates. The cures time decreases and tensile strength increases by increasing concentration of MBTS. Elongation at break first increases by increasing concentration of MBTS and then decreases.The fastest cure time and best tensile strength for EPDM is obtained with dithiocarbamates. The higher elongation at break is obtained with DPG.
