ESR investigation of NR and IR rubber vulcanized with different cross-link agents

This study evaluates the formation of radical species in natural rubber (NR) and poly-isoprene rubber (IR) during the vulcanization process and the uniaxial deformation of the formed networks by means of Electron Spin Resonance (ESR). Vulcanization of NR and IR always shows a radical pathway, where...
