Abstract

Understanding how branching affects the properties of synthetic rubbers like Butadiene Rubber (BR) and Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) is important for improving their performance in various applications. In this research, we used a Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA) to perform a phase angle vs. frequency test, which helps us to learn more about the rubber’s behavior under different conditions. The RPA test measures how the rubber responds to different frequencies, giving us detailed information about its mechanical properties. This method helps us to study the branching of the molecules in BR and SBR, which influences how easy they are to process and how well they perform at the product level. We found that BR and SBR behave differently due to their unique branching patterns. This study provides a way to identify the branching in these rubbers, which can help in designing better rubber compounds for specific needs.
