A Study of Dynamic Viscoelastic Properties on Temperatures of Natural Rubber

The change of elastic modulus(E'), loss modulus(E), and loss were investigated on condition of double strain amplitude (DSA) at temperature of for carbon black filled natural rubber. E', E, and were increased as it closed to the glass transition temperature due to decrease of rubber network flexibility and carbon black agglomerate interaction. In the micro strain range, energy loss showed maximum value because of the chain slippage in rubber matrix, but the regeneration of carbon black agglomerate and rubber matrix affected decrease of energy loss over the mid-range strain. As a results of regression analysis, correlation with showed linear relationship.
