A new concept is introduced in this study, suggesting the role played by the ZnO crystal in sulfur crosslinking polymers, particularly, rubber blends of EPDM-CTS. The study is conducted in a polymer blend of ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) and cyclic tetrasulfide (CTS). CTS is a reactive low molecular weight polymer, which can act as a sulfur donor. It is proposed that the sulfur crosslinking occurs at the surface of the ZnO crystals. A reaction site is created on the surface of the ZnO crystal by the reaction with stearic acid, which creates a “template” or active site on the surface as a catalytic site for the CTS reaction to take place. Various experiments are performed to substantiate the newly proposed role the crystalline Z...
