Crosslinking adhesion of FR with NBR or CHA was examined by hot pressing of the combined rubber containing cocrosslinking agent. Optimum formulation of the each rubber was as follows. FR: DB2Na, 2; PEG, 2; TBuPBr, 1; MgO, 10phr. NBR: DB, 2; DTDM, 2; S, 0.3; TBuPBr, 1phr. CHA: DB, 1.4; DTDM, 1.3; LiOH, 0.7; TBuPBr, 0.7phr. The resulted peel strength FR/NBR, 1.8and FR/CHA, 2.1KN/m by hot pressing at 160°C for 30min was found to increase to 4.7 and 3.5KN/m by post curing at 180°C for 1h and at 150°C for 5h, respectively. The adhesion mechanism was discussed in regard to the role of cocrosslinking agent (DB), crosslinking activator (TBuPBr), crosslinking deactivator (DTDM) and the mechanical properties of the resulted blend rubbers.
