Abstract

Natural rubber (NR) is a very useful elastomer and renewable polymer with outstanding properties compared to synthetic elastomers. However, as a natural polymer, the non-rubber species (proteins, phospholipids, carbohydrate, etc.) have to be considered carefully for the understanding of the surface and interfacial properties. Especially these components can markedly affect the frictional and adhesive properties of the rubber surface. Although many methods can be used to modify the surface properties, chlorination remains one of the easiest way. The present study deals with surface modification of peroxide crosslinked NRs and synthetic cis-1,4 polysioprene as reference samples by chlorination. Surface and frictional properties of these different rubbers were analyzed by various complementary techniques The influence of critical parameters on wetting, frictional and mechanical properties were investigated and will be discussed.
