    Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) formation on Ketjen blackR EC300J, Vulcan XC-72R® and acetylene black in sulfuric acid solution was investigated. For this purpose, an ultra-microanalysis system for H2O2 was constructed. It was clarified that H2O2 was produced through an oxygen reduction reaction on these carbon materials. When oxidized acetylene blacks were employed, both the content of alcohol-like groups and the amounts of H2O2 produced increased. It is, therefore, surmised that the alcohol-like groups on acetylene blacks mainly contribute to H2O2 formation in a similar manner as the so-called “anthraquinone process”, the practical method for H2O2 production.

    We have studied the solvent resistance characteristics of non-cross-linked and cross-linked natural rubber composites reinforced by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). All the MWCNTs were individually dispersed within the rubber matrix where a three-dimensional cellulation structure was created when the added amount of MWCNTs exceeded 16 wt%. The non-cross-linked MWCNT-filled rubber composite was not soluble, but swelled in toluene. Upon detailed studies on the dried sample, it was found that a new phase was formed due to a strong bonding between the MWCNTs and the rubber matrix resulting in the cellulation structure. We found that a continuous three-dimensional structure at the interface between the MWCNTs and the natural rubber was extremely tough, and thus contributed to the improvement in the elastic modulus and thermal stability of natural rubber composites.
