VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional vulcanization aids are used, then the rubber composition can be vulcanized, but the vulcanizing rate is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevulcanizing rateVSAvoidvulcanization performance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical structure parameters of the vulcanization aid by introducing specific cyclic groups (W1) containing carbonyl or thio groups conjugated with nitrogen atoms. This structural modification transforms conventional vulcanization aids into compounds with enhanced vulcanizing rates while maintaining reliable vulcanization performance.

Inventive Principle:
