Vulcanizates of blends of ethylene–propylene–diene rubber and polyamide copolymers were prepared by reactive compatibilization. A reactive route was employed for compatibilizing these blends with the addition of chlorinated polyethylene (CPE). The influence of the compatibilizers, crosslinking agents, blend compositions, and addition modes of the compatibilizers on the mechanical properties of the blends was investigated. The morphologies of the blends were determined with scanning electron microscopy. The addition of CPE was found to reduce the particle size of the dispersed phase remarkably. The stability of the blends with compatibilizers was measured by high‐temperature thermal aging. The mechanical properties were examined by stress–strain measurements and dynamic mechanical thermal measurements; the addition of polyamide copolymers caused significant improvements in the tensile properties of these blends.© 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effects of maleic anhydride modified ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDMMA) and maleic anhydride modified ethylene–vinyl acetate (EVAMA) on the compatibilization of nitrile rubber (NBR)/ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (70:30 w/w) blends vulcanized with a sulfur system were investigated. The presence of EPDMMA and EVAMA resulted in improvements of the tensile properties, whereas no substantial change was detected in the degree of crosslinking. The blend systems were also analyzed with scanning electron microscopy and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The presence of EVAMA resulted in a blend with a more homogeneous morphology. The compatibilizing effect of this functional copolymer was also detected with dynamic mechanical analysis. A shift of the glass‐transition temperature of the NBR phase toward lower values was observed. The presence of EPDMMA and EVAMA also increased the thermal stability, as indicated by an improvement in the retention of the mechanical properties after aging in an air‐circulating oven. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polyamide 6 (PA6)/maleated ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymer rubber/nano calcium carbonate ternary composites were prepared. The effect of the compounding route on the morphology, toughness, and fracture behavior of the ternary composites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, Charpy impact testing, and essential work of fracture (EWF) testing. The construction of sandbag microstructure particles in PA6 matrix was crucial to the toughness of the ternary composites. The Charpy impact strength and the specific essential work of fracture (we) of the ternary composites with a sandbag microstructure were 137.9 and 71.4% higher, respectively, than those of the ordinary ternary composites with a separated dispersion microstructure. The observation of the fracture surface after EWF testing indicated that the improvement of we was attributed to the sandbag microstructure particles; this structure was more effective for resisting the growth of cracks; meanwhile, the influence of the amount of fibrillation on the nonspecific essential work of fracture, including the nonspecific essential work of fracture before yielding and that in the necking–tearing stage, was insignificant. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nanocomposite vulcanizates based on ethylene–propylene–diene monomer rubber (EPDM) and organically modified montmorillonite with improved mechanical and barrier properties were prepared via a melt‐mixing process in the presence of maleic anhydride grafted ethylene–propylene–diene monomer rubber (EPDM‐g‐MAH) as an interfacial compatibilizer. The effects of the EPDM Mooney viscosity as the matrix and also the compatibilizer molecular weight and its maleation degree on the developed microstructure were also studied. The annealing of the vulcanized nanocomposites based on a low‐Mooney‐viscosity EPDM matrix and low‐Mooney‐viscosity EPDM‐g‐MAH enhanced the flocculation of the dispersed clay platelets; this implied that the flocculated structure for the clay nanolayers was more thermodynamically preferred in these nanocomposites. This was verified by the decrease in the oxygen permeability of the nanocomposite vulcanizates with increasing annealing time. The tendency of the clay nanosilicate layers to flocculate within the matrix of EPDM was found to be influenced by the clay volume fraction, the maleation degree, and also, the Mooney viscosity of the compatibilizer. Interfacially compatibilized nanocomposites based on high‐molecular‐weight EPDM exhibited a more disordered dispersion of the clay nanolayers, with a broadened relaxation time spectra; this was attributed to the higher shearing subjected to the mix during the melt‐blending process. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDM)/organomontmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposites were prepared with a maleic anhydride grafted EPDM oligomer as a compatibilizer via melt intercalation. X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy indicated that the silicate layers of OMMT were exfoliated and dispersed uniformly as a few monolayers in nanocomposites. The change in the crystallization behavior of the nanocomposites was examined. The nanocomposites exhibited great improvements in the tensile strength and tensile modulus. The incorporation of OMMT gave rise to a considerable reduction of tan δ and an increase in the storage modulus. Moreover, the solvent resistance of the nanocomposites increased remarkably. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 94: 440–445, 2004 相似文献

Maleated ethylene‐propylene‐diene rubber (EPDM‐g‐MA) toughened polyamide 6 (PA6)/organoclay (OMMT) nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending. The role of OMMT in the morphology of the ternary composites and the relationship between the morphology and mechanical properties were investigated by varying the blending sequence. The PA6/EPDM‐g‐MA/OMMT (80/20/4) composites prepared by four different blending sequences presented distinct morphology and mechanical properties. The addition of OMMT could obviously decrease viscosity of the matrix and weaken the interfacial interactions between PA6 and EPDM‐g‐MA when blending EPDM‐g‐MA with a premixed PA6/OMMT nacocomposite, resulting in the increase of rubber particle size. The final mechanical properties are not only determined by the location of OMMT, but also by the interfacial adhesion between PA6 and EPDM‐g‐MA. Having maximum percentage of OMMT platelets in the PA6 matrix and keeping good interfacial adhesion between PA6 and EPDM‐g‐MA are beneficial to impact strength. POLYM. ENG.

The main objective of this study was to synthesize and characterize the properties of ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymer (EPDM)/clay nanocomposites. Pristine clay, sodium montmorillonite (Na+–MMT), was intercalated with hexadecyl ammonium ion to form modified organoclay (16Me–MMT) and the effect of intercalation toward the change in interlayer spacing of the silicate layers was studied by X‐ray diffraction, which showed that the increase in interlayer spacing in Na+–MMT by 0.61 nm is attributed to the intercalation of hexadecyl ammonium ion within the clay layers. In the case of EPDM/16Me–MMT nanocomposites, the basal reflection peak was shifted toward a higher angle. However, gallery height remained more or less the same for different EPDM nanocomposites with organoclay content up to 8 wt %. The nanostructure of EPDM/clay composites was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, which established the coexistence of intercalated and exfoliated clay layers with an average layer thickness in the nanometer range within the EPDM matrix. The significant improvement in thermal stability and mechanical properties reflects the high‐performance nanocomposite formation. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

High‐performance thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), based on recycled high‐density polyethylene (HDPER), olefinic type ethylene–propylene–diene monomer rubber (EPDM), and ground tire rubber (GTR) treated with bitumen, were prepared by using dynamic vulcanization technology, and their structure–property relationships were investigated. It was established that special pretreatment of GTR by bitumen confers outstanding mechanical properties on the resulting TPEs. TPEs, containing GTR pretreated by bitumen, exhibit thermal behavior similar to that of the HDPER/EPDM basic blend in the temperature region up to about 340°C. Rheological measurements showed that bitumen acts as an effective plasticizer for the GTR‐containing TPEs. SEM, DSC, and DMTA results revealed improved adhesion between the particles of GTR treated by bitumen and the surrounding thermoplastic matrix, compared to that of the untreated GTR particles. It was concluded that bitumen acts as an effective devulcanizing agent in the GTR treatment stage. In the following steps of TPE production, bitumen acts simultaneously as a curing agent for the rubber components (EPDM/GTR) and as a compatibilizer for the blend components. GTR‐containing TPEs, prepared by extrusion technology, were reprocessed (by passing through the extruder six times) without any observable changes in their tensile properties, thermal stability, and melt viscosity. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This work focuses on phase morphology and properties of immiscible poly(lactic acid)/ethylene‐propylene‐diene rubber (PLA/EPDM) blends compatibilized with organic montmorillonite (OMMT). Effect of OMMT loading on phase morphology, mechanical properties, and blown film bubble stability was investigated. Transmission electron micrographs show that a large number of OMMT nanolayers locate at interfacial region between PLA and EPDM phase, as well as in EPDM phase due to higher affinity of OMMT with EPDM. Scanning electron micrographs show that EPDM domain size decreases largely with increasing OMMT loading, which is associated with reduction of interfacial energy and inhibition of coalescence by the OMMT locating at the interface, acting as an emulsifier to enwrap the discrete domains. As OMMT loading increases from 0 to 1 phr, elongation at break increases from 20.4 to 151.7% and notched impact strength is enhanced from 8.2 to 31.7 kJ?m?2. The reduced EPDM domain is the main reason for enhanced toughness of PLA/EPDM/OMMT samples according to crazing with shear yielding mechanism. However, with more than 2 phr of OMMT, the toughness decreases largely due to excessive stress concentration and OMMT aggregation. Attempts were made to produce ductile films from the PLA/EPDM/OMMT nanocomposites by using blown film extrusion. Improvement in blown film bubble stability and tensile ductility of PLA/EPDM/OMMT films also shows that OMMT is an efficient compatibilizer, as well as a processing aid for PLA/EPDM blends. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ethylene–propylene–diene monomer/polytetrafluorethylene (EPDM/PTFE) composites based on EPDM and electron beam irradiated PTFE powders (MS‐II, MS‐III, and MS‐V, with mean diameter 5 μm, 1 μm, and 0.1 μm, respectively) were prepared by a mechanical compounding technique. The curing characteristics, morphologies, mechanical properties, and abrasion behaviors of these composites were investigated. The curing measurements indicated that the addition of lower loading of MS‐III or MS‐V enhanced the lubrication of EPDM compounds and delayed the curing process. The morphological structure of the composites demonstrated that the MS‐III and MS‐V were uniformly dispersed in EPDM matrix and the efficient polymer–filler interfacial interactions were constructed. In comparison with EPDM/MS‐II and EPDM/MS‐III, EPDM/MS‐V exhibited outstanding tensile strength, tear strength, elongation at break, and abrasion resistance due to the nanometer particle dimension and good dispersion of MS‐V as well as the stronger interfacial interactions between MS‐V and the EPDM matrix. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Maleated glycidyl 3‐pentadecenyl phenyl ether (M‐GPPE) was synthesized from glycidyl 3‐pentadecenyl phenyl ether (GPPE), a renewable derivative from cardanol, with maleic anhydride (MAH) by grafting copolymerization. The resulting M‐GPPE was used as a functionalized plasticizer for a styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR)/carbon black (CB)/silica composite. The effects of M‐GPPE on the development of the filler network, the extent of silica dispersion, the curing characteristics, and the mechanical performance of the composites were studied. Meanwhile, a comparative study was performed between M‐GPPE and aromatic oil, a traditional plasticizer used in SBR filler formulations. Gel permeation chromatography and IR and 1H‐NMR analysis results confirmed the occurrence of the grafting reaction between GPPE and MAH and the potential structure of M‐GPPE. The thermostability of GPPE was improved by grafting copolymerization with MAH, as shown by thermogravimetric analysis results. The presence of M‐GPPE resulted in a shorter curing time and better aging properties in the SBR composite compared with GPPE. The mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical analysis, and transmission electron microscopy analysis showed that the maleate of GPPE could enhance the compatibility between SBR and silica, improve the dispersion of silica in SBR, and partially replace the aromatic oil in the SBR/CB/silica composite formulation. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDM)/clay nanocomposites with crosslinking bonding at the interface were fabricated through the intercalation method involving double‐bond functional groups. For comparison, an organoclay modified with an intercalation agent without double bonds was also prepared. X‐ray diffraction indicated that the EPDM intercalated into the galleries of the nanoclay due to crosslinking with the organic intercalation reagent containing double bonds. According to the dielectric relaxation spectra, the segmental relaxation of EPDM was greatly confined, due to the strong filler/polymer interfacial interaction. And a new relaxation appeared at higher temperature and lower frequency than segmental relaxation when the content of clay with double bonds reached 10 phr; the new relaxation is attributed to interfacial relaxation. Whereas the new relaxation did not appear by adding ordinary organoclay, the dynamic mechanical analysis loss peak of EPDM, corresponding to the glass transition, moved to a higher temperature due to covulcanization. The presence of crosslinking in the EPDM/clay nanocomposites can play a significant role in improving their mechanical properties. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

The effects of blend ratio, crosslinking systems, and fillers on the viscoelastic response of ethylene–propylene–diene monomer (EPDM)/styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) blends were studied as functions of frequency, temperature, and cure systems. The storage modulus decreased with increasing SBR content. The loss modulus and loss tangent results showed that the EPDM/SBR blend vulcanizate containing 80 wt % EPDM had the highest compatibility. Among the different cure systems studied, the dicumyl peroxide cured blends exhibited the highest storage modulus. The reinforcing fillers were found to reduce the loss tangent peak height. The blend containing 40 wt % EPDM showed partial miscibility. The dispersed EPDM phase suppressed the glass‐transition temperature of the matrix phase. The dynamic mechanical response of rubbery region was dominated by SBR in the EPDM–SBR blend. The morphology of the blend was studied by means of scanning electron microscopy. The blend containing 80 wt % EPDM had small domains of SBR particles dispersed uniformly throughout the EPDM matrix, which helped to toughen the matrix and prevent crack propagation; this led to enhanced blend compatibility. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mercapto‐modified ethylene‐vinyl acetate (EVASH) has been employed as a reactive compatibilizing agent for nitrile‐butadiene rubber (NBR)/ethylene‐propylene‐diene monomer (EPDM) blends vulcanized with a sulfur/2,2′‐dithiobisbenzothiazole (MBTS) single accelerator system and a (sulfur/MBTS/tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) binary accelerator system. The addition of 5.0 phr EVASH resulted in a significant improvement in the tensile properties of blends vulcanized with the sulfur/MBTS system. In addition to better mechanical performance, these functionalized copolymers gave rise to a more homogeneous morphology and, in some cases, better aging resistance. The compatibilization was not efficient in blends vulcanized with the S/MBTS/TMTD binary system, probably because of the faster vulcanization process occurring in this system. The good performance of these EVASH samples as compatibilizing agents for NBR/EPDM blends is attributed to the higher polarity of these components that is associated with their lower viscosity. Dynamic mechanical analysis also suggested a good interaction between the phases in the presence of EVASH. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 1404–1412, 2004 相似文献

A novel composite was prepared by the addition of a dough‐modeling compound (DMC) reinforcement and an ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymer (EPDM)/acrylic rubber (ACM) matrix. We studied the DMC/EPDM/ACM mass ratio and vulcanizing process by testing the tensile strength, Shore A hardness, elongation at break, and wear and thermal properties. The results show that the mechanical properties, thermal properties, and wear resistance of the composites were good when the DMC/EPDM/ACM mass ratio was 70/25/75 and the cure conditions were 180°C under 10 MPa for 25 min. The crosslinking structure of the composites was studied by IR, and this further proved the interaction between DMC, ACM, and EPDM. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008 相似文献

Ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDM)/montmorillonite (MMT) composites were prepared through a melt process, and three kinds of surfactants with different ammonium cations were used to modify MMT and affect the morphology of the composites. The morphology of the composites depended on the alkyl ammonium salt length, that is, the hydrophobicity of the organic surfactants. Organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT), modified by octadecyltrimethyl ammonium salt and distearyldimethyl ammonium salt, was intercalated and partially exfoliated in the EPDM matrix, whereas OMMT modified by hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride exhibited a morphology in which OMMT existed as a common filler. Ethylene–propylene–diene rubber grafted with maleic anhydride (MAH‐g‐EPDM) was used as a compatibilizer and greatly affected the dispersion of OMMT. When OMMTs were modified by octadecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride and distearydimethyl ammonium chloride, the EPDM/OMMT/MAH‐g‐EPDM composites (100/15/5) had an exfoliated structure, and they showed good mechanical properties and high dynamic moduli. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effects of the incorporation of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on the physical and mechanical properties of thermoplastic elastomers based on blends of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDM) are described. A marked decrease of the half‐time of PP–EPDM crystallization and a sensible increase of the overall crystallization rate were observed in the presence of SWNTs. These results confirmed the expected nucleant effect of nanotubes on the crystallization of polypropylene. This effect was not linearly dependent on the SWNTs' content, showing a saturation of the nucleant effect at high nanotube concentrations. Dynamic mechanical analysis results showed a significant and controversial change of the mechanical behavior of the PP–EPDM/SWNT composites depending on the nanotube content. In particular, the storage modulus increased at the lowest incorporation of SWNTs, whereas a further increase of nanotubes led to a reduction of the storage modulus with respect to the pristine polymer matrix. Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were successfully applied to demonstrate that in the composite films, the changes in the crystallization kinetics and mechanical properties could be explained in terms of the changes of the distance between nanotubes in bundles after a different intercalation of the polymer matrix. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Rubber toughening of polyamide 6 (PA6)/layered‐silicate nanocomposites was investigated. Different systems were prepared via melt blending according to different formulations. Wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses showed that the nanocomposites had an appreciable degree of exfoliation. A linear elastic fracture mechanics approach was applied to characterize the material fracture behavior in dry conditions, whereas, because of the considerable ductility exhibited by the samples in the wet state, an elastic–plastic approach based on the essential work of fracture methodology was employed. In the absence of rubber, the presence of silicate layers makes the material fracture resistance decrease relative to neat polymer, depending on the degree of humidity. The results showed that the toughening action of rubber strongly depends on the degree of humidity of the material, at least for the rubber contents considered in this study (lower than 10 wt %). In particular, in slightly wet conditions, it was found that the addition of small amounts of rubber increased the fracture resistance of PA6/layered‐silicate nanocomposites without appreciably impairing the material stiffness. Thus, the results indicated that, for the given humidity conditions, a good balance between stiffness and toughness was obtainable by employing a suitable ratio of rubber to layered‐silicate content. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Summary: Polymer‐layered silicate nanocomposites (PLSN), based on polyamide 6 (PA6) and montmorillonite (MMT) modified with an octadecylammonium salt, were produced via melt compounding in a co‐rotating twin‐screw extruder. Wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) and TEM revealed a PLSN containing 3.3% by weight (wt.‐%) of MMT to exhibit a mixed exfoliated/intercalated morphology, consisting mainly of individual silicate lamellae together with some intercalated stacks, resulting in a mean value of 1.8 lamellae per particle. In contrast, a PLSN containing a higher level of 7.2 wt.‐% MMT exhibited a more ordered intercalated structure, consisting mainly of a distribution of lamellae stacks with a mean value of 3.8 lamellae per particle. The dispersion of MMT in the PLSN generated very large polymer–filler interfacial areas, resulting in significant increase in the volume of constrained PA6 chain segments. Consequently, significant changes in the ratio of α/γ crystallites and in the thermal behaviour of the matrix PA6 were observed during WAXD, DSC and dynamic‐mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) studies of the PLSN. In particular, damping data from DMTA showed relaxations between Tg and Tm resulting from amorphous polymer chain segments constrained at the polymer–filler interface, indicating the formation of a continuous phase of constrained polymer. In contrast, a PA6 microcomposite formed using unmodified MMT generated much lower polymer–filler interfacial area, with most of the MMT residing within large, poorly wetted aggregates. Consequently, changes to the thermal behaviour of the matrix PA6 were much less significant than those induced in the PLSN.

Attempts have been made to investigate the effects of ethylene–propylene–diene monomer (EPDM) rubber structural parameters on the developed microstructure, mechanical properties, rheology, and oxygen gas permeability of EPDM/organically modified montmorillonite (O‐MMT) nanocomposite samples prepared via melt mixing. Maleic anhydride grafted EPDM (EPDM‐g‐MAH) has been employed as an interfacial compatibilizer. The influence of the EPDM melt viscosity and chain linearity on the extent of exfoliation of the clay nanolayers has been evaluated through the calculation of the nanolayer aspect ratio (length/thickness) with the Halpin–Tsai model. The results are consistent with the X‐ray diffraction patterns of the samples. The flocculation of the clay nanolayers has been found to be more probable when O‐MMT is mixed with highly branched, low‐molecular‐weight EPDM. More exfoliation occurs when EPDM rubber with a high molecular weight but low branching is used. This has been confirmed by more nonlinear melt rheology behavior and broadening of the retardation time spectra. Maleated EPDM has been shown to be effective in enhancing the molecular intercalation of the clay nanolayers and the prevention of flocculation in both low‐molecular‐weight and high‐molecular‐weight EPDM matrices. Dynamic melt rheology measurements have revealed nonterminal behavior within the low‐frequency range by interfacially compatibilized molten samples with an EPDM‐g‐MAH/clay ratio of 3, regardless of the matrix molecular weight and chain linearity. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
