Abstract: | Laminates consisting of natural rubber (NR) sandwiched between cloth fabric and polyester film were pulled apart at various rates and temperatures in a T-peel geometry. Peel energies for joints containing uncrosslinked or lightly-crosslinked NR did not obey simple time-temperature superposition. This behavior is attributed to strain-induced crystallization during peeling. However, when the rubber was highly crosslinked, strain crystallization seems to be absent, as peel energies now can be WLF shifted to form a mastercurve. |
