It has been reported that the cure time t(90), scorch time t(2), and their difference (t(90)-t(2)) of Polybutadiene rubber (BR)/organoclay nanocomposites were much reduced over those of BR. This effect can be attributed to the ammonium groups in the organoclay. The possible formation of a Zn complex in which sulfur and ammonium modifier participate may facilitate the formation of crosslinks. If this assumption is true, it is expected that the organoclay with higher ammonium modifier concentration will give larger torque difference and faster vulcanization rate to the BR/organoclay nanocomposites. The effect of organoclay with different modifier concentration on the vulcanization behavior and mechanical properties of BR/organoclay hybrid was investigated in this study. As expected, the order of the torque difference was BR/Cloisite 15A > BR/Cloisite 10A > BR/Cloisite 20A > BR/Cloisite 25A > BR/Cloisite 30B > BR/Cloisite Na+, and the order of vulcanization rate also showed similar trends. The organoclay with higher modifier concentration gave larger torque difference and faster vulcanization rate to the BR/organoclay nanocomposites.
