Effect analysis of mixing process variables on viscoelastic properties of NR tread compounds

摘要

Statistical methods have considerable utility in rubber research and development.Such methods are a cost-effective way to help a user to formulate questions in a way as to make a research program more productive.The use of statistical methods is particularly fruitful in cases where simultaneous balancing of different parameters like cost,property level and processing behavior seems to be difficult without making undue compromises.Statistical methods are also useful in making sound decisions in light of extreme variability in the data with conflicting requirements.Research in rubber compounding for tire application is one such example.
