Abstract:
Looking for a cleaner alternative to halogenation in the preparation of rubber for bonding with leather in footwear, atmospheric pressure plasma treatments were applied on styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR). Its adhesive capacity was improved and the highest bond strength standards for footwear were met. Two optimal processes were identified: (1) Plasma polymerization of (3‐aminopropyl)triethoxysilane coatings on flat SBR and (2) plasma‐activation of mechanically roughened SBR. The improvement on coated, flat SBR was mainly due to its surface chemistry having greater concentrations of polar carbon–oxygen species than the untreated SBR. For plasma‐activated, mechanically roughened SBR, combined contributions of mechanical roughening and roughening by plasma irradiation were found. Coating flat SBR at 100 mm/s showed the best balance between improved bond strength and durability.
