Notes:
The spontaneous adhesion of vulcanized filled elastomers to steel has been studied using a rolling cylinder test. Owing to the relatively high degree of crosslinking, heavy cylinders are required to ensure good contact with the hard rubber track. This in turn invokes compression within the bulk of the rubber. A consequence is that hysteresis losses are associated not only with the adhesion phenomenon but also with the compression deformation of the system. Theoretical and experimental analyses have led to the conclusion that the two effects may be treated as additive. Both hysteresis losses can be related to the WLF superposition principle.
