Abstract
Today the consumption of different composit materials and among them also the automotive rubber composits constantly increases. Rubber composits which are used in the automotive industry are for example air springs, belt drives, automotive hoses etc. The automotive rubber composites are composed of load bearing core (which is usually made of fibers or yarns and different webs or knittings) and rubber matrix. The rubber composites differ regarding to the purpose or use of the rubber composite and regarding to the demanding mechanical and dynamical properties. Different rubber composite products need different load bearing cores with different mechanical and physical properties. The purpose of the following work is to determine morphological, mechanical and physical properties of load bearing core. To find out what kind of changes occur in load bearing core of the rubber composite as a consequence of preparation and chemical and mechanical treatments during the production of the rubber composite. The influence of the properties of the load bearing core on rubber composite dynamical properties will be evaluated and quantified. The objective of the project is also to find out the crack initiation mechanism as a critical defect in the composite that lead to product failure. On the basis of the dependence of the rubber composite properties on the load bearing core properties establish and optimize preparation and treatment process conditions for achieving improved rubber composite dynamic properties.
