Progress in vulcanization and application researches of brominated isobutylene-p-methyl styrene rubber

Abstract

The typical curing system and vulca-nization reaction mechanism of brominated isobutylene-p-methylstyrene rubber (BIMS) were systematically summarized in this paper, and application formulation technology and application performance of BIMS in the field of tread, side wall and innerliner of tire, tire curing bladder and medical plug were introduced in detail with 26 references. The properties of BIMS were compared with those of ordinary butyl rubber and halogenated butyl rubber. Finally, the future development direction of BIMS was prospected.
