Tailoring the Curing Kinetics of NBR-Based Rubber Compounds for Additive Manufacturing of Rod Seals

Figure 4

Mechanical properties of S2 samples after vulcanization at ambient pressure in an oven heated to 160°C (Batch 1). The data are based on the median values of test series of n = 5 each. (a) Stress/strain curves after different vulcanization durations; (b) maximum tensile strength values depending on the vulcanization time.
