Abstract

The effects of cure system polymer molecular weight and restriction of swelling on the NMR spectra of swollen rubber vulcanisates have been investigated using a recently published technique. Within a single polymer type cis-polyisoprene or cis-potybutadiene the accelerated-sulphur cure systems produce vulcanisates having the same relationship between the volume fraction of rubber in the equilibrium swollen state (Vr) and a measure of line width H. Swelling to less than equilibrium uptake results in a higher H but the increase is a relatively weak function of degree of swelling and this permits confident use of the technique in the analysis of crosslink distribution in polymer blends.
