Abstract
The variation of the monomeric friction coefficient of styrene butadiene copolymer (SBR) and natural rubber (NR) with various degrees of cure was analyzed. Samples with different levels of cure were prepared. Loss tangent measurements of the samples were performed by means of a damped torsion pendulum between 173 K and 373 K. Data were analyzed in the frame of the Kloczkowsky, Mark and Frisch model (KMF) and the monomeric friction coefficients and the relaxation strength were obtained for each condition.
