Sulphur vulcanizates of styrene-budadiene rubber (SBR) filled with 80 phr of silica were rubbed extensively against iron Armco or magnesium alloy (AZ 31), and chemical modification of the surface layer of metals studied. Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer (s-SIMS) spectra revealed fragments containing...
