Relationships of tensile strength with crosslink density for the high-carbon black-filled EPDM compounds with various softeners

Equilibrium swelling and rheological tests were adopted to systematically investigate the effects of softener type and dosage on the crosslink densities. The results turned out that the chemical crosslink density could be distinguished from the physical crosslink density by comparing the results of equilibrium swelling and rheological tests. The liquid butadiene (LB) as a softener leads to the greatest reduction in crosslink density, followed by polyethylene wax (PW) and paraffinic oil (PO). The tensile strength decreases with increasing PO content while shows peak values with increase of LB and PW contents. The dependencies of chemical crosslink density on the aging time under 150°C are quite different for the three softeners, which can be expected from the double crosslinking networks consisting of small softener and large main crosslinking networks. Further investigation has been performed to correlate the tensile strength with chemical crosslink density of ethylene propylene diene monomer elastomer vulcanizates. Three different linear relationships can be obtained for the softeners independent of the aging time. It can now be expected from this study that the role of some new softeners in rubber compounds is not only confined to plasticization but also forms crosslinking networks in the peroxide-cured rubbers.

Fully solution-processed and multilayer blue organic light-emitting diodes based on efficient small molecule emissive layer and intergrated interlayer optimization

Efficient and fully solution-processed blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on fluorescent small-molecule and methanol/water soluble conjugated polymer as electron-injection material are reported. The emitting layer is 3,6-bis(9,9,9′,9′-tetrakis (6-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)hexyl)-9H,9′H-[2,2′-bifluoren]-7-yl)dib-nzo[b, d]thiophene 5, 5-dioxide (OCSoC) with a blue-fluorescent small-molecule, and a methanol/water soluble polymer poly[(9,9-bis(30-(N,N-dimethylamino)propyl)-2,7-fluorene)-alt-2,7-(9,9-dioctyl-fluorene)] (PFN) acted as electron-injection layer (EIL). All the organic layers are spin-coated from solution. The multilayer device structure with emitting layer/electron-injection layer is achieved by solution-processed method without the dissolution problem between layers. The performances of the devices show that the maximum luminous efficiency of the multilayer device is increased about 43%, compared to the single-layer device. PFN acting as the EIL material plays a key role in the improvement of the device performance when used in solution-processed small-molecule OLEDs.

Systematic investigation on the effect of crosslinking agent type and dosage on the performance of TPU/MVQ based thermoplastic vulcanizates

Dynamic vulcanized thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/methyl vinyl silicone rubber (MVQ) thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) were prepared in torque rheometer. The influence of the type and amount of peroxide crosslinking agent on the mechanical properties, thermal stability, micromorphology and melt flowability was systematically investigated. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the TPVs vulcanized by 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di (tert-butyl peroxy) hexane (DBPH) first increased and then decreased with increasing the peroxide amount, while for dicumyl peroxide (DCP) vulcanizing system the mechanical properties slowly increased. Besides, the comprehensive mechanical properties vulcanized by DBPH were better than those of DCP group. The results of the thermogravimetric analysis showed that the TPVs vulcanized by DBPH had better heat stability, corresponding to the excellent thermo-oxidative aging performance and the 38% increase in tensile strength after aging. In addition, the MVQ rubber particles showed better dispersing performance for DBPH vulcanizing system. The melt flow rate of the TPVs showed a linear relationship with increasing DBPH dosage and became worse after the amount of crosslinking agent exceeded 1.5 phr. By comprehensive comparison, the TPVs have better performance when use peroxide DBPH as the crosslinking agent and the dosage is 1.5 phr.

偶联剂用量对白炭黑Z1115MP补强SSBR/BR性能的影响

研究了硅烷偶联剂3-辛酰基硫-1-丙基三乙氧基硅烷(NXT)、γ-巯丙基-乙氧基双(丙烷基-六丙氧基)硅氧烷(Si747)及3,3-双(三乙氧基硅烷基丙基)-四硫化物(Si69)改性白炭黑Z1115MP填充SSBR/BR的静态性能、动态性能及微观结构的影响。结果表明,偶联剂的加入使硫化胶的力学性能略有改善,但是当偶联剂用量超过其最佳用量时白炭黑表面会形成多层物理吸附的界面薄弱层,导致硫化胶的力学性能降低。3种偶联剂改性体系硫化胶的Payne效应随着偶联剂用量的增加急剧下降,当偶联剂用量达到1.2份后变化不大,但是硅烷偶联剂的结构对硫化胶的动态性能及白炭黑Z1115MP在硫化胶中的分散性影响不大。
