Cure behaviour <strong>of</strong> gum <strong>and</strong> filled compounds are given <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Table<br />

5.3 <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong> figure 5.1. Compared to <strong>the</strong> cure values <strong>of</strong> filled <strong>and</strong> gum<br />

compounds with 2phr <strong>and</strong> 5phr c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong>al ZnO, it is found that<br />

compounds with 5phr c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong>al ZnO show better cure values than with<br />

2phr c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong>al ZnO. Similarly <strong>the</strong> cure values <strong>of</strong> filled compounds with<br />

2phr ZnO(p) <strong>and</strong> ZnO(s) show better cure values than with 1phr ZnO(p) <strong>and</strong><br />

ZnO(s).<br />

The cure values <strong>of</strong> gum <strong>and</strong> filled compounds with 2phr ZnO(p) <strong>and</strong><br />

2phr ZnO(s) are equivalent to <strong>the</strong> compounds with 5phr c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong>al ZnO(c).<br />

This <strong>in</strong>dicates composites with very low dosage <strong>of</strong> ZnO(p) <strong>and</strong> ZnO(s) show<br />

equivalent cure characteristics as composite with higher dosage <strong>of</strong><br />

c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong>al ZnO(c).
