Swelling and electrical properties of rubber vulcanizates loaded with paraffin wax
The influence of the concentration of paraffin wax on the penetration rate, P, and the average diffusion coefficient, D, of kerosene in an SBR-NR composite and also on the coefficient of viscosity were investigated. All decreased with the addition of wax. Also, the effect of the concentration of paraffin wax on both the current-voltage characteristics and the temperature dependence of the de electrical conductivity were studied.
