Abstract
Crosslinking efficiencies of cumyl peroxide in SBR, cis-polybutadiene, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, and polychloroprene have been measured. For the first two rubbers approximately ten crosslinks are formed per molecule of peroxide decomposed, while for the acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber an efficiency close to unity is found. With polychloroprene approximately two molecules of peroxide are used for each crosslink formed. Analysis of the low molecular weight products of the reaction shows that ease of hydrogen abstraction by cumyloxy radicals decreases in the order given above.Keywords
