Abstract
The tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) and zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate (ZDMC) related vulcanization of cis‐1,4‐polyisoprene (IR) were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and electron spin resonance (ESR). The progress of the reactions in a given compound was monitored by analyzing the vulcanizate at selected points along the DSC curing curve. Full details of the analysis procedures are given. Analysis were mainly concerned with measurement of the crosslink densities, percentage of polysulfidic crosslinks, and the types and quantities of extractable compounds by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).Keywords
