Abstract

Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, Ahead of Print.
The effect of a polymeric plasticizer on crosslinking behavior and performance of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR, SKN-40) was evaluated under thermal, radiation, and thermoradiation vulcanization. Under thermoradiation curing (250 kGy +150°C) at low sulfur ...
