Promoters for enhanced adhesion of steel cord to rubber

$15.00

The objective of this investigation was to understand the properties and mechanisms of adhesion promoters by using an in-situ continuous monitoring system developed to study adhesion kinetics. Intensive study showed that the effectiveness of commercial adhesion promoters depends on oxide properties and is a function of rubber chemistry. Efforts to develop a universal adhesion promoter independent of oxide properties on brass coating of steel cord are discussed.
