This article reviews the accelerators, hydrolysis and condensation reaction mechanism of bifunctional alkoxy silane, as well as the mechanism of zinc ion in NR composites.
We reviewed the accelerators, the hydrolysis and condensation reaction mechanism of bifunctional alkoxy silane, and the mechanism of zinc ion in natural rubber (NR) composites. NR composites transform into thermoset composites after vulcanization reaction with help of sulfur and accelerators. Bifunctional alkoxy silanes chemically bond between NR and inorganic silica. For alkoxy silane coupling with silica surface, hydrolysis reaction takes first and then condensation reaction with hydroxyl group in silica takes place. With help of zinc ion the reaction efficiency increases significantly. Zinc ion, a smart material that increases accelerator synergy, mechanism for improvements of interfacial adhesion between NR and silica was revisited.
