TL;DR: In this paper, continuous flow elastomer composites are produced by continuous flow methods and apparatus in which fluid streams of particulate filler and elastomers are fed to the mixing zone of a coagulum reactor to form a mixture in semi-confined flow continuously from the mixing zones through a co-agulum zone to a discharge end of the reactor.
Abstract: Elastomer composites are produced by novel continuous flow methods and apparatus in which fluid streams of particulate filler and elastomer latex are fed to the mixing zone of a coagulum reactor to form a mixture in semi-confined flow continuously from the mixing zone through a coagulum zone to a discharge end of the reactor. The particulate filler fluid is fed under high pressure to the mixing zone, such as to form a jet stream to entrain elastomer latex fluid sufficiently energetically to substantially completely coagulate the elastomer with the particulate filler prior to the discharge end. Highly efficient and effective elastomer coagulation is achieved without the need for a coagulation step involving exposure to acid or salt solution or the like. Novel elastomer composites are produced. Such novel elastomer composites may be cured or uncured, and combine material properties, such as choice of filler, elastomer, level of filler loading, and macro-dispersion, not previously achieved.

TL;DR: In this article, a wet/dry mixing method and apparatus for elastomer composite blends is presented, where the mixture of elastomers and filler is fed to the mixing zone of a coagulum reactor to form a mixture in semi-confined flow.
Abstract: Elastomer composite blends are produced by novel wet/dry mixing methods and apparatus.

The particulate filler fluid is fed under high pressure to the mixing zone, such as to form a jet stream to entrain elastomer latex fluid sufficiently energetically to substantially completely coagulate the elastomer with the particulate filler prior to the discharge end.

Such elastomer composites may be cured or uncured, and combine material properties, such as choice of filler, elastomer, level of filler loading, and macro-dispersion, not previously achieved. The coagulum produced by such wet mixing step, with or without intermediate processing steps, is then mixed with additional elastomer in a dry mixing step or stage to form elastomer composite blends. The additional elastomer to the coagulum may be the same as or different from the elastomer(s) used in the wet mixing step.

TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of elastomer and filler is fed to the mixing zone of a coagulum reactor to form a mixture that flows continuously from a mixing zone to a discharge end of the reactor.
Abstract: Elastomeric compositions are produced by novel continuous flow methods and apparatus in which fluid streams of particulate filler and elastomer latex are fed to the mixing zone of a coagulum reactor to form a mixture flowing continuously from the mixing zone through a coagulum zone to a discharge end of the reactor. The particulate filler fluid is fed under high pressure to the mixing zone, such as to form a jet stream to entrain elastomer latex fluid sufficiently energetically to substantially completely coagulate the elastomer with the particulate filler prior to the discharge end. Semi-confined flow of the mixture in the coagulum zone is achieved preferably with progressively increasing cross-sectional dimension of the coagulum zone from the mixing zone to the discharge end. Highly efficient and effective elastomer coagulation can be achieved without the need for a coagulation step involving exposure to acid or salt solution or the like. In addition to elastomeric compositions comparable to those achievable using traditional acid or salt coagulation techniques, novel elastomeric compositions can be prepared employing previously unworkable fillers, such as carbon black of exceptionally high surface area and low structure, etc., and/or having heretofore unachievable performance properties, filler dispersion levels, elastomer molecular weight distribution or a combination of any of these.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of surface chemistry of silica particles on the secondary structure of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) was investigated, and the relationship between the size of secondary structure and tensile properties of silicas-filled SBR vulcanizates was also investigated.
Abstract: Silica particles were treated by silane coupling agents to study the effects of surface chemistry of silica particles on the secondary structure formed by silica particles in styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR). The relation between the size of secondary structure and tensile properties of silica-filled SBR vulcanizates was also investigated. The water molecules adsorbed on the silica surface enhanced both the reactivity of the coupling agents with silanol groups on the silica surface and the condensation reaction between coupling agents. The averaged size of one agglomerate in the filled vulcanizate (Sagg) decreased with the increase of the hydrophobic character of silica particles, which were obtained by the introduction of coupling agents with alkyl groups. The initial slope of stress–strain curves for silica-filled vulcanizates decreased with the decrease of Sagg. Further, a clear Payne effect was observed in all silica-filled vulcanizates, with this tendency more prominent in the larger Sagg. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
