crosslinking and other aging behaviors during the using process by heat
oxygen
thermal oxygen
light
irradiation and mechanical stress. Different kinds of rubbers have different aging mechanisms because of their various use environment and requirements. In this paper
the chemical mechanism
research methods
prediction methods and models of rubber aging were introduced. The research progress of aging behavior of different kinds of rubber and rubber/rubber blends in recent years was reviewed. The review of rubber aging behavior and mechanism is helpful to understand rubber aging systematically
and provide suggests for improving the aging resistance and preparing more excellent aging resistant rubber materials.
