17、ure, or, a temperature sweep in which the temperatureis programmed to decrease under constant strain amplitude andfrequency conditions.4.3 For an after-cure strain sweep, the instrument is typi-cally programmed to increase the strain with each subsequentstep change. This is done to minimize the infl

Typically two repeat strainsweeps may be programmed consecutively to quantify thePayne Effect,3which is the reduction in dynamic storagemodulus from strain softening of the rubber vulcanizate.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used

19、to determine the vulcanizationcharacteristics of (vulcanizable) rubber compounds under se-lected test conditions of strain and frequency which do notsignificantly affect the cured dynamic properties. In the sametest, this test method also will measure the dynamic propertiesof the vulcanizate at temp

20、eratures significantly below the curetemperature. These lower temperature measurements are nec-essary in order to more effectively relate to rubber productservice conditions.5.2 This test method may be used for quality control inrubber manufacturing processes and for research and develop-ment testin

Thistest method also may be used for evaluating cure and dynamicproperty differences resulting from the use of different com-pounding ingredients.5.3 For additional information regarding the significance ofdynamic testing of vulcanized rubber, the reader m
