Abstract
The influence of natural (iron-ore concentrate of magnetite containing about 70% iron) and synthetic magnetite in the presence of traditional
curing agents (ZnO and MgO) on the curing processes and properties of sulfur-modified chloroprene rubber vulcanizates was studied.
Modification of the surface of magnetite with polyfunctional compounds: glycine (NH2-CH2-COOH), cysteine (HOOC-CH(NH2)-CH2-SH) and
urotropin (C6H12N4) improves the complex of stress-strain properties of chloroprene rubber vulcanizates, in this case amino acids glycine and
cysteine are more efficient. Synthetic magnetite was obtained by chemical co-precipitation of iron salts Fe3+ and Fe2+ in a ratio of 2:1, and
has a larger specific surface area than natural (natural from 0,23 to 0,64 m2/g, and synthetic 210 m2/g according to BET method). Systems
with synthetic magnetite demonstrated higher stress-strain properties than systems with natural magnetite. Modified magnetite can be
recommended for obtaining composite materials with a set of unique properties, combined with a high level of stress-strain properties.
