Evaluation of the polymer-solvent interaction parameter χ for the system cured styrene butadiene rubber and toluene
One of the most popular cured rubbers used in industrial applications is styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and frequently its network structure is studied by means of swelling techniques in solvent. Normally, toluene is used as solvent in this test. In order to estimate the crosslink density from the e...

One of the most popular cured rubbers used in industrial applications is styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and frequently its network structure is studied by means of swelling techniques in solvent.

This work covers the swelling behavior of cured SBR in toluene. The rubber was vulcanized with different amounts sulfur and accelerator at 433 K in order to obtain several network structures and crosslink densities. Network characterisations of the compounds were made by swelling measurements in the frame of the Flory-Rehner relationship using the molecular weight of the network chain between chemical crosslinks obtained previously by mechanical tests.
