The principle of rubber roller reinforcement effect
Adding a large amount of substances to the production materials of rubber rollers to improve their mechanical properties such as tensile strength, wear resistance, tear strength, and tensile stress, enhance their usability, and extend the service life of products, is called rubber reinforcement. These substances are called reinforcing agents. Common reinforcing agents include carbon black, white carbon black, silicates, active calcium carbonate, zinc oxide, and some organic compounds.
Carbon black is the main reinforcing agent in the production industry of rubber rollers. When the carbon black reinforced vulcanized rubber is subjected to external forces, the adsorbed rubber segments will slide and elongate on the surface of the carbon black particles, thus producing a reinforcing effect.
1. Due to the high hysteresis loss caused by sliding grinding, a portion of the energy is consumed and converted into heat energy for dissipation, thereby protecting the rubber from damage.
2. The result of molecular chain sliding is to make the rubber roller chain highly oriented, resulting in uniform stress distribution and bearing large stress or modulus.
3. When the molecular chain slides, a large amount of physical adsorption plays a buffering role by absorbing external forces.
The above effects greatly improve the strength of rubber rollers and resist cracking.
