This work focuses on the crosslinking of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) by dicarboxylic acids via epoxy sites. The curing reaction at 180°C of the reactive functional rubbers containing 10 to 50 mol% epoxide groups was followed by rheology, and cured materials were characterized by stress-strain experiments, dynamic mechanical analysis and DSC measurements. Study of binary blends of ENR and dodecanedioic acid showed that a specific ratio of crosslinking agent gave ris to optimum mechanical properties, which depends on the epoxidation level of the rubber. The slow cure process had detrimental effects to mechanical properties and was found to be tremendously accelerated (from 3 hours to 20 minutes) in presence of 1,2-dimethylimidazole. An eq...
