Compounds were prepared by mill mix<strong>in</strong>g <strong>on</strong> a laboratory size (16 x<br />
33 cm) two-roll mill at a fricti<strong>on</strong> ratio <strong>of</strong> 1:1.25 as per ASTM D 3184-89. After<br />
mix<strong>in</strong>g all <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>gredients, <strong>the</strong> stock was passed six times through tight nip<br />
gap <strong>and</strong> f<strong>in</strong>ally sheeted out a fixed nip gap. The samples were kept for 24 hrs<br />
for maturati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
Test<strong>in</strong>g<br />
The cure characteristics <strong>of</strong> all mixes were determ<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>on</strong> a Rubber<br />
Process Analyzer, RPA 2000, Alpha technologies, USA, as per ASTM D 2084-<br />
01. Subsequently, <strong>the</strong> rubber compounds were vulcanized up to <strong>the</strong>
