The stress- strain behavior of carbon-black filled natural rubbers cured by exposure to 2-Mev electrons was examined in relation to that of normal vulcanizates. A simple empirical power law relating modulus to elongation has facilitated handling of the experimental data. Antioxidants and other norma1 ingredients of the rubber mix confer improved ageing resistance but also increase the radiation dose required for a given modulus. Comparing radiation and sulfur cure, the former gives products adequate in modulus and ageing resistance but inferior in ultimate elongation for a given modulus and in tensile product. Special formulation may lead to improved products. (auth)
