    This paper describes the powerful practical modification method of elastomers with unsaturated bonds exploiting kinetically stabilized nitrile N-oxides. The stable nitrile N-oxides enable the efficient 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to both internal olefin and nitrile groups incorporating into versatile elastomers such as acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), natural rubber (NR), and ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) to give the corresponding hetero aromatics-containing polymers. The reaction features i) catalyst-free procedure, ii) versatile applicability to various elastomers, iii) high yield, iv) high regio-selectivity, v) no by-product, and vi) remarkable acceleration of reaction rate under solvent-free condition. The scope and limitation of the modification reaction are discussed in detail.

    Frictional experiments of rubber against spherical hard solids were carried out. The contact states between the rubber specimens and the spherical solids were observed by using X-ray imaging method in SPring-8; Beam line 19B2; X-ray energy = 25 keV; Pixcel size of X-ray images = 10 μm. The real time observation by using the brilliant X-ray of the synchrotron was applied to characterize the contact states of opaque rubbers during friction. Under the following conditions, diameter of glass sphere as the mated surface = 3 mm and transverse velocity of the mated surface = 0.3 mm/s, the contacting geometry and frictional force were measured simultaneously, and then relationship between the contact state and the frictional force was investigated. The frictional force shows a correlation with the contact area or the shear stress of the rubber. Consequently, it was summarized that the real time observation during friction using X-ray imaging is very effective to understand the mechanism of rubber friction. The synchrotron radiation experiments were performed at BL19B2 in the SPring-8 with approval of the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) (Proposal No. 2005B0877).
