Notes:
Uncured, filled rubbers show remarkable nonlinear viscoelasticity as well as cured, filledrubbers. The nonlinearity may come from change in entanglement and filler network structures. Manypeople use dynamic modulus to characterize rubber materials. However, dynamic modulus cannot bedefined at large strain. Hence we must study a viscoelastic function to be defined at large strain. Inaddition, we need other information to separate the effects of the change in entanglement and fillernetwork structures on nonlinear viscoelasticity. In this work, we have measured simultaneouslyrelaxation modulus G(γ,t) and electrical resistivity ρ(γ,t) for carbon black (CB)-filled, uncuredstyrene-butadiene copolymers (SBRs) at wide range of strains. Electrical resistivity at equilibrium,ρ(0,t), showed step-like change at the CB loading between 20 and 35 phr, indicating threshold forfiller network formation should exist in the range of values in CB loading. Both G(γ,t) and ρ(γ,t) forthe samples having CB loading to be higher than the threshold showed nonlinearity at the strain largerthan shear strain γ=0.1, indicating rupture in filler network at large strain
