Abstract

The mechanical and rheological properties of natural rubber composites activated with the conventional saturated ZnO/ stearic acid pair have been studied extensively (Bristow 1986; Elliot 1986; Barker 1987). The mechanical and rheological properties of natural rubber composites activated with ZnO/ unsaturated carbox')'lic acid have been reported (Bristow 1987). The effect of cure temperature on the mechanical prop­ erties of natural rubber activated wit ZnO/saturated carbOll.')'­ lic acid has also been reported (Barker 1987; Adeosun et al 1998). The them10dynamics of stretching and the thermal con­ ductivity of the systems ZnOJsaturated carbox')'lic acid have however not been given much attention as their mechanical and rheological properties . In this work, the thermal conduc­ tivities and the thermodynamic parameters of these systems have been exami ned alongside their mechanical and rheo­ logical properties.
