Preliminary experiments were carried out to establish the methodologies to monitor the change during the curing process both in squalene and adhesion interface using GPC (Gel Permeation Chromatography) and TOF-SIMS (Time-of-flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry). GPC analysis of the vulcanization product of the squalene mixture confirmed the formation of the intermediates during the vulcanization reaction. TOF-SIMS analysis of the surface of the brass panel cured in the squalene model mixture showed the incorporation of squalene into the adhesion layer and the existence of the accelerator fragments on the brass surface. Depth profiles and the mass spectra of the adhesion interface demonstrated the formation of the copper sulfide layer. Highly sensitive TOF-SIMS proved to be the adequate tool to investigate the cobalt distribution in the adhesion layer enough to differentiate the depth profile of the organic and inorganic cobalt species. Based upon the methodologies developed, compounding ingredients effects were investigated. It was found that the absence of the double bond on the squalene greatly suppressed the decomposition rate of the sulfenamide accelerator and subsequently the formation of the copper sulfide in the adhesion layer also. It also greatly deterred the incorporation of the cobalt species in the adhesion interface. Removal of carbon black and cobalt salt from the formulation both retarded the initiation of the accelerator decomposition and the effect was larger without cobalt salt. Morphology of the copper sulfide dendrites formed at different curing temperature was investigated with SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). At 150°C, the copper sulfide formed on the brass was amorphous with high surface area which would give the higher mechanical interlocking force than the highly crystalline, thin plate-shaped copper sulfide formed at 170°C. Crystallographic study of the adhesion interface with grazing incidence X-ray diffraction on synchrotron x-ray source revealed the existence of the ZnO at 150°C and ZnS and Cu <sub>1.8</sub> S at 170°C. 2002-06-21 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1016563887 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1016563887 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
