Abstract

A thick rubber block was obtained after ninety-six years ageing in air. The rubber was analysed for its formulation. Thick rubber blocks were prepared using this formulation and they were subjected to different periods of ageing and different temperatures. Puncture tests were performed on these aged samples and a characteristic time ta was obtained for different ageing temperatures. Arrhenius plots of characteristic times of samples aged up to ten years and from that of the ninety-six-year-old sample were found to be linear.
