As filler level increases for black-filled vulcanisates of NBR at fixed sulphur and accelerator levels, D was observed to continuously decrease. D, on the other hand, was found to increase as filler level increases in white-filled vulcanisates of NBR at fixed sulphur and accelerator levels. These observations are explained in terms of degree of rubber-filled interaction ER -
