Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) reacts with surface oxygen groups of carbon black. The higher the concentration of these groups, the higher the intensity and the extent of reaction and the better the reinforcing ability of the black. Oxidized furnace blacks and channel blacks, which are known to have high quantities of oxygen functional groups, are thus more reinforcing than are the conventional furnace blacks, particularly in the case of black‐filled epoxidized natural rubber. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
