Abstract
Natural rubber (NR), synthetic polyisoprene rubber (IR) and hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) were crosslinked by electron beam irradiation at different doses. The adhesion (at rubber/glass interfaces) and self-adhesion (at rubber/rubber interfaces) energies of uncrosslinked and weakly crosslinked rubbers were measured at contact times ranging from 0.1 s to a few hours by means of a tensile testing machine equipped with a tack-probe test. General relationships between these energies and the average molar mass between crosslinks were established in each case.
