应用动态热力学分析仪测定了动态硫化EPDM／PP共混物的动态力不宪为,Tg峰的变化,表明P的非晶部分与EPDM具有部分互溶性,同时讨论了共混物动态模量的特点,研究了不同橡塑比,硫化剂和软化剂用量对动态硫化EPDM／PP共混物动态力学性能的影响。     

DCP用量对PP／EPDM共混物性能和形态的影响

用动态硫化法制备的PP／EPDM共混型热塑性弹性体的性能明显优于直接共混型PP／EPDM热塑性弹性体,这是由于模量低的EPDM柔性长链经化学交联后,强化对PP的增韧效果,而交联后又被扯断细化的EPDM的颗粒,改变了因EPDM相互缠结所导致的熔融粘度大,加工性能差的缺陷。制备PP／EPDM热塑性弹性体的关键是动态硫化,由于PP／EPDM共混物的动态硫化是一个融物理共混、化学引发交联和剪切细化分散为一体的复杂过程,材料的性能除决定于组成、组分性能和化学交联体系外,还强烈依赖于所采用的共混工艺方式及其条件。本章采用过氧化二异丙苯（DCP）作为硫化剂,研究了过氧化物用量对动态硫化PP（K8303）／EPDM共混物性能和形态的影响。     

剪切和拉伸流场对动态硫化EPDM/PP的力学性能与结晶结构的影响

利用以拉伸流场为主的叶片挤出机(VE)和以剪切流场为主的双螺杆挤出机(TSE)分别制备了不同组分比的动态硫化三元乙丙橡胶/聚丙烯(EPDM/PP)热塑性弹性体。通过对2种流场作用下共混物的力学性能、结晶熔融行为以及晶体形貌和晶体结构的对比分析,研究了拉伸流场对动态硫化EPDM/PP结构与性能的影响。结果表明,与双螺杆挤出机相比,由于拉伸流场更好的分散混合效果,EPDM/PP热塑性弹性体中的PP相能在较低温度结晶,共混物中PP相的晶体尺寸更小,分布更均匀,EPDM相与PP相界面结合更好,共混物的力学性能得到了显著提高;拉伸流场对EPDM/PP热塑性弹性体中PP相的晶格结构无影响,但对PP的结晶度影响较大。     

PP/HDPE/EPDM三元共混物熔体的动态流变行为

用旋转流变仪测试了三元共混物PP EPS 30RA/HDPE 8916/EPDM和PP T30S/HDPE 5306/EPDM的动态流变行为,采用广义Maxwell模型对损耗模量-角频率曲线进行了拟合。结果表明,低频下,随着PP/HDPE质量比的增加,2种共混物的复数黏度逐渐增加,而储能模量值先增加后下降,最大值对应的PP/HDPE质量比为70/30。当PP EPS 30RA/HDPE 8916/EPDM三元共混物各组分质量比分别为30/70/3、50/50/3和70/30/3时,储能模量在低频下均出现第二平台,而PP T30S/HDPE 5306/EPDM共混物未出现该现象。在PP/HDPE/EPDM质量比达到50/50/3后,2种PP/HDPE/EPDM共混物的特征松弛时间逐渐变长。2种共混物的松弛模量-松弛时间曲线呈"扫把"状,模量高时松弛时间聚集,模量较低时松弛时间发散。     

DCP用量对PP／EPDM共混物力学性能及形态的影响

过氧化二异丙苯（DCP）能有效降解PP;当DCP用量为2‰（质量分数）时,PP／EPDM共混物的冲击强度较高。共混物的相形态结构表明,EPDM橡胶粒子均匀地分散在基体中。

本文详细讨论了三种硫化体系对动态硫化EPDM／PP热塑性弹性体力学性能及加工性能的影响，并介绍了动态硫化EPDM／PP硫化体系的新进展。     

动态硫化在聚丙烯改性加工中的应用

采用反应挤出法对EPDM进行动态硫化。将硫化后的EPDM与聚丙烯(PP)共混,可改善PP的韧性、低温易脆的缺陷,同时提高PP的综合性能。     

超声辐照对PP/EPDM共混物在加工过程中微相结构的影响

研究了超声辐照对聚丙烯／三元乙丙橡胶(PP／EPDM)共混物挤出过程及二次加工中微相结构的影响．结果表明随超声功率的增加EPDM相的比表面积增大，界面作用增强．超声辐照使EPDM在PP中形成的良好的分散效果在经过热压二次成型后仍大部分得以保持．动态流变分析显示超声振动使PP／EPDM共混物的内部结构变得更加均匀．Palierne乳液模型计算结果表明，超声辐照使共混物中两相的界面张力降低，这说明超声辐照使两相间形成了良好的界面结构和牢固的界面作用，有效地阻止了EPDM液滴在共混过程以及随后的热压成型加工过程中的合并．     

动态硫化三元乙丙橡胶/聚丙烯橡胶:流变、结晶和动态力学性能

运用动态硫化法制备EPDM/PP橡胶,研究了其流变行为、结晶及动态力学性能。利用扫描电镜观察了硫化EPDM/PP橡胶熔融共混后EPDM颗粒在PP基体中的分散情况。动态力学性能(DMA)和拉伸性能测试的结果显示橡塑比为40/60时,EPDM/PP橡胶的综合性能最为优异。研究了硫化EPDM/PP橡胶在黏性弹性区域的振荡剪切行为。DMA结果显示橡塑比提高导致储能模量与tanδ下降。流变行为表明,复合黏度随交联密度的增加而增加,弹性变形优于黏性流动。硫化过程使EPDM颗粒细化导致PP分子链结晶受阻。     

三螺杆动态混炼挤出EPDM/PP共混物拉伸强度的研究

在三螺杆动态混炼挤出机上,研究了不同橡塑比的(三元乙丙橡胶)EPDM/(聚丙烯)PP共混物经动态混炼和稳态混炼挤出后的拉伸性能.振动频率和振幅对共混物的拉伸强度均有很好的强化作用,并分析了振动力场对EPDM/PP共混物影响的规律和振动强化效果.     

EPDM动态硫化增韧PP的性能和形态研究

采用羟甲基叔丁基酚醛树脂及２,５－二甲基－２,５－二叔丁基过氧基己烷／硫黄作交联剂,研究了三元乙丙橡胶动态硫化对增韧聚丙烯性能的影响。实验证实,随酚醛树脂用量增加共混物的抗冲韧性显著提高,但流动性明显下降。过氧化物既能有效硫化橡胶,又能使聚丙和解,从而得到高韧性和高流动性的共混物。扫描电镜分析表明,交联剂用量增加,共混物中橡胶相粒径显著减小,这归因于橡胶相的交联和在橡界面形成接枝或嵌段共聚物。     

Fracture toughness investigation of the dynamically vulcanized EPDM/PP/ionomer ternary blends using the J-integral via the locus method

The fracture mechanics investigation of the dynamically vulcanized EPDM and PP/ionomer ternary blends was performed in terms of the J-integral by measuring fracture energy via the locus method. The ternary blends consisting of EPDM, PP and ionomer were prepared in a laboratory internal mixer by blending and vulcanizing simultaneously. Vulcanization was performed with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and the composition of EPDM and PP was fixed at 50/50 by weight. Two kinds of poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMA) ionomers were used. The J-integral values at crack initiation, J _c, of the dynamically vulcanized EPDM and PP/EMA ionomer ternary blends were affected by the cation types (Na⁺ or Zn²⁺) and contents (5–20 wt%) of the added EMA ionomers. The ternary blend containing 20 wt% zinc-neutralized EMA ionomer and 1.0 p.h.r. DCP showed the highest J _c values of the blends. The results have been discussed with regard to the fracture topology observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Effect of crosslinking on morphology and phase inversion of EPDM/PP blends

This study investigates the effect of cross-linking on morphology and phase inversion of EPDM/PP blends. Several EPDM/PP blends without and with cross-linking agent were prepared in a Haake batch mixer under constant conditions. The morphology was studied by electronic microscopy (SEM and TEM), and cross-linking was followed by EPDM gel content and swelling. The results showed that the position of the phase inversion region is essentially governed by composition, being independent of the viscosity ratio of the EPDM/PP blend. The TPVs’ morphology of the EPDM/PP blend, with 70 and 50 wt% of PP, consists of EPDM cross-linked particles dispersed in the PP matrix. For EPDM-rich composition (30 wt% of PP), the TPVs’ morphology appears to be co-continuous. Even though dynamic vulcanisation of the rubber phase always improves the dispersion of the EPDM phase, complete phase inversion (from fully dispersed PP in the EPDM matrix to EPDM fully dispersed in the PP matrix) was achieved only with low viscosity EPDM.     

Effect of dynamic crosslinking on crystallization and thermal degradation of polypropylene in polypropylene (PP)/ethylene-propylene DIENE (EPDM) rubber blends

Blends of isotactic polypropylene and ethylene propylene diene (EPDM) rubber were dynamically vulcanized using the dimethylol phenolic resin/stannous chloride crosslinking system. The EPDM blends are thermally more stable than polypropylene (PP). Dynamic curing rendered the vulcanizate thermally more stable than unvulcanized blends. The variations in degree of crosslinking and degree of crystallinity are the main factors for observed increase in thermal stability of vulcanized blends. Degree of crosslinking increases the interfacial adhesion between the PP and EPDM phases. Dimethylol phenolic resin used as a compatibilizer also enhanced the thermal stability of the PP/EPDM blends. Crystallization of PP in the blends of PP/EPDM was also studied through modulated differential scanning calorimetry. Other detailed analyses of endotherm peaks obtained after first and second melts in terms of heat of enthalpy, degree of undercooling, and degree of crystallinity were also evaluated. Kinetic parameters were also determined.     

Effect of high density polyethylene addition and testing temperature on the mechanical and morphological properties of polypropylene/ethylene-propylene diene terpolymer binary blends

High density polyethylene (HDPE) was added to the polypropylene (PP)/ethylene-propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) binary blend, and the effect of testing temperatures on the modulus of elasticity, impact behavior and corresponding fracture morphology was analyzed. Modulus of elasticity generally decreased as the EPDM content increased regardless of the testing temperatures. However, it was found that the modulus of elasticity of PP/EPDM/HDPE ternary blend increased compared to PP/EPDM binary blend when tested at –30 and –60 °C. Notched Izod impact strength changed depending on the testing temperatures, however, there was not much difference between binary and ternary blends up to 20 wt% EPDM. However, at more than 30 wt% EPDM content, ternary blends showed higher impact strength compared to binary blends. Especially, at –30 °C, brittle-ductile transition was observed between 20 and 30 wt% EPDM. Subsurface morphology was also analyzed, and the relationship between the impact strength and the stress whitening zone was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy observation of impact fractured surfaces was conducted, and overall morphology was analyzed with respect to HDPE addition and testing temperature change.
