Modeling the Vulcanization Process of HCR and Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR)

Content Summary

A kinetic model of the vulcanization process of High Consistency Rubber (HCR) and Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) was developed. The exothermal vulcanization process was measured with a differential scanning calorimeter. Viscosity was measured with a cone and plate rheometer. A computer program fit coefficients to the experimental data. Values for activation energy and fitted rate coefficient were found using both nth order polynomial and autocatalytic models. A kinetic model of vulcanization will help manufacturers understand and optimize their production processes.
