Quiz 03 Match the type of black with its manufacturing process. (p.

58)

1. Made by partial combustion of hydrocarbons "Furnace black" 2. Produced by thermal decomposition of natural gas "Thermal black" 3. Manufactured by impingement of natural gas flames "Channel black"

ASTM D24 Committee on carbon black developed a four-character nomenclature system.Match the definition (right column) with these items (pg. 63). 1. arbitrarily assigned digits "Third and Fourth Characters" 2. designates average surface area "Second Character" 3. slow cure rate carbon blacks "S" 4. normal cure rate carbon blacks "N"

The following methods are used to characterize specific surface area and structure of carbon black. Indicate, below, which method is used for which characteristic: (p. 66-68) 1. incorporation 2. deagglomeration 3. distribution 4. dispersion

What is the reason for the following effects when elastomers are mixed with carbon blacks? (p. 69-70) Viscosity is increased: shear strain amplified Die swell is reduced: decreased polymer relaxation time and reduced elastic component

Carbon black attributes (surface area, structure and loading) affect rubber properties when properly mixed. Indicate how adding carbon black affects each property listed of the attribute SURFACE AREA. (pg. 72) Elongation
