THE IMPACT OF CURING TIME AND MOLD TEMPERATURE ON THE FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF NITRILE BUTADIENE RUBBER

To complement the present research results in the field of fatigue and fracture in elastomers, an analysis of the influence of curing time and mold temperature on the fatigue properties of a carbon black-filled industrial NBR compound was carried out. There was a significant difference in the crack growth rate with respect to the different manufacturing conditions.
