Abstract
In the present work, we present an instrumented molding device allowing the production of adhesion peeling test samples under well controlled curing temperature cycles. Tests performed on a model natural rubber compound with a commercial adhesive system show that, for high cure temperatures, the quality of the rubber-to-metal bonding obtained is significantly reduced. The decrease of the peeling energy appears to be inversely proportional to the reversion undergone by the rubber during cure. Such a result points out the necessity of taking into account this phenomenon for optimization of the vulcanization bonding process.
