Popis: In this study, the effect of additives (oils, lubricants) included in the formulations of different block styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) rubbers on the effectiveness of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation treatment to improve adhesion to polyurethane adhesive was analyzed. The modifications on the UV-treated rubber surfaces for different lengths of treatment have been characterized by contact-angle measurements (ethylene glycol, 25°C), Attenuated Total Reflectance-Infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The adhesion properties have been evaluated from T-peel strengths of treated rubber/polyurethane adhesive/leather joints. The UV-radiation treatment on all rubber surfaces produced an increase in wettability, carbon–oxygen polar moieties, and ablation. The oxidation degree produced on the rubber surface treated with UV radiation was less when oils and lubricants were included in the formulation, likely due to competition of the oxidation p...
