Development of ionically crosslinked network in metal oxide based carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene copolymer with self-healing characteristics

Ionic clusters produced during the crosslinking of elastomers with zinc oxide influence the overall mechanical performance of ionic elastomers such as carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR). The composition of these ionic aggregates is investigated for the first time in this work by maintaining time as variable and other factors constant.... Show more
