3.6.5. Abrasion resistance
Abrasion resistance of NBR rubber cured by peroxide/coagent
and radiation/coagent (150 kGy) is shown in Fig. 10. It can be noticed that the abrasion resistance of radiation/coagent cured
NBR composites is relatively higher than that of those cured by
peroxide/coagent system and this behavior may be attributed to
the increase in crosslinks induced by radiation.
