Abstract

Four architectures of polybutadiene polymer were investigated in large amplitude oscilation shear (LAOS) and small-amplitude (SAOS) rheological shear tests. The polybutadiene samples were then subjected to mixing in a laboratory mixer and a vulcanization process. The resulting vulcanizates were subjected to Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA and mechanical tests in the form of a uniaxial tensile test, and an abrasion test
