| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, a vulcanization reaction of rubbers was investigated by both electrical measurements and terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. As a tradition model of rubbers, a parallel circuit consist of a resistance and a capacitance was proposed, however, we found that a series circuits of a few parallel circuits can be consistent with the temporal variation of electrical characteristics including impedance, resistance and reactance. As for THz measurements, it was found that the THz absorbance indicated the minimum values near the optimum cure time of T90 decided by the conventional torque-cure time curve, and also found that the THz characteristics was so unstable under the existence of filler material of carbon black. This instability probably caused by some scattering inside rubber samples or surface plasmon effects. In order to clarify this instability, further investigation is necessary.
