Exudation of plasticiser from vulcanised rubbers

Muniandy K., . and Thomas A. G., . Exudation of plasticiser from vulcanised rubbers. p. 38. ISSN 0127-7065

Abstract

A rather intriguing exudation process termed sweating is described. This process which does not appear to be due to supersaturation effects seems at first sight to contradict the thermodynamics of equilibrium swelling. Conditions and factors which affect this process in natural and synthetic rubber vulcanisates previously swollen to equilibrium in dioctylphthalate are discussed. It is suggested that the process could be due to surface tension effects caused by the presence of impurities or imperfections on the swollen rubber surface or simply contact of the swollen rubber with foreign substrates.
