Study on the damping of EVM based blends

The mechanical and damping properties of blends of ethylene‐vinyl acetate rubber(VA content >40 wt %) (EVM)/nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and EVM/ethylene‐propylene‐diene copolymer (EPDM), both with 1.4 phr BIPB (bis (tert‐butyl peroxy isopropyl) benzene) as curing agent, were investigated by DMA. The effect of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), and dicumyl peroxide (DCP) on the damping and mechanical properties of both rubber blends were studied. The results showed that in EVM/EPDM/PVC blends, EPDM was immiscible with EVM and could not expand the damping range of EVM at low temperature. PVC was miscible with EVM and dramatically improved the damping property of EVM at high temperature while keeping good mechanical performance. In EVM/NBR/PVC blends, PVC was partially miscible with EVM/NBR blends and remarkably widened the effective damping temperature range from 41.1°C for EVM/NBR to 62.4°C, while CPVC mixed EVM/NBR blends had an expanded effective damping temperature range of 63.5°C with only one damping peak. Curing agents BIPB and DCP had a similar influence on EVM/EPDM blends. DCP, however, dramatically raised the height of tan δ peak of EVM/NBR = 80/20 and expanded its effective damping temperature range to 64.9°C. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

考察了丁腈橡胶/聚氯乙烯共混物中硫化体系、炭黑种类、增塑剂用量及组分比对材料阻尼性能的影响.结果表明,丁腈橡胶/聚氯乙烯共混物的交联密度增大,其损耗因子峰向高温方向移动,峰值升高,损耗因子不小于0.5的温度区域变窄;相比高耐磨炭黑而言,用半增强炭黑作填料可使丁腈橡胶/聚氯乙烯共混物呈现更好的阻尼性能;随着增塑剂邻苯二甲酸二辛酯用量的增加,共混物的损耗因子峰值升高,但该峰向低温方向移动;丁腈橡胶/聚氯乙烯共混物(质量比为70/30)的损耗因子不小于0.5的阻尼温域相对较宽,适用于常温,且力学性能较好.     

橡胶/树脂共混物复合阻尼材料的研究

Morphology and dynamic mechanical properties of natural rubber/nitrile rubber blends containing trans‐polyoctylene rubber as a compatibilizer

The use of trans‐polyoctylene rubber (TOR) as a compatibilizer for blends of natural rubber (NR) and acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber (NBR) was investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The NR/NBR blends containing varying proportions of TOR were prepared in an internal mixer. AFM micrographs of NR/NBR blend at 50/50 (w/w) composition showed heterogeneous phase morphology with NR as a matrix and NBR as a dispersed phase. Inclusion of TOR in the NR/NBR blend altered the phase morphology by reducing the size of the NBR phase. DMA of NR/NBR/TOR showed reduction in tan δ peak height of NBR and an increase in storage modulus E′ in the rubbery region for the NR/NBR blends. A comparison of the E′ obtained from experimental data with that from theoretical models was made to deduce the location of TOR in the blend. Based on the fittings of calculated and experimental values of E′, it was inferred that TOR was incorporated into the NR phase at lower proportion as well as at the interfacial region at higher proportion. The Cole–Cole plot illustrated the compatibilizing effect of TOR. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry     

Dynamic mechanical properties of acrylic rubber blended with phenolic resin

The dynamic mechanical properties of blends of phenolic resin (PF) and acrylic rubber (ACM) were investigated. PF had good compatibility with ACM and played an important role in the damping of the ACM/PF blends. With the increase of PF content and molecular weight, the peak of loss factor (tan δ) of blends shifted to a higher temperature and became much wider, indicating the convenience to adjust the value of tan δ peak and the temperature range. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy detected that the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the PF hydroxyl groups and the ACM carbonyl groups had made a great contribution to the improvement of damping. Compared with the organic small molecule used in our previous study, PF gifted the blends with equivalent damping performance and much better stability and a lower cost for the application of damping materials. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Filling Effect of Silica on Electrical and Mechanical Properties of EPDM/NBR Blends

Filling effect of silica on dielectric and mechanical properties of ethylene propylene diene/acrylonitrile butadiene rubber EPDM/NBR blends with different compositions was studied. To solve the problem of phase separation polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with concentration 10 phr was added. The dielectric data for the investigated systems on the frequency domain 100 Hz to 100 kHz were found to be fitted using Fröhlich function by two absorption regions. These regions ascribe the Maxwell-Wagner effect and the aggregates that are expected to be formed by the addition of different ingredients to rubber. The study led to a conclusion that the blend 75/25 EPDM/NBR possesses the most promising properties. For such reason, this blend was chosen to be loaded with silica in increasing quantities up to 90 phr and then study the various properties. This study indicates that the EPDM/NBR blend loaded with 50–60 phr of silica possess the most suitable electrical and mechanical properties.     

Natural rubber/ethylene propylene diene blends for high insulation iron crossarms

This research studied the composition and behavior of natural rubber (NR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) blends at various carbon black concentrations (0–30 phr) in terms of electrical resistivity, dielectric breakdown voltage testing, and physical properties. The blends having electrical properties suitable for application in high‐insulation iron crossarms were selected for investigation of compatibility and increased physical properties. The effect of the homogenizing agent concentration on improvement of compatibility of blends was studied by scanning electron microscopy, pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and rheology techniques. We also examined mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tear strength, elongation at break, and hardness. The NR/EPDM blends filled with a fixed concentration of silica were investigated for ozone resistance. A carbon black content as high as 10 phr is still suitable for the insulation coating material, which can withstand electrical voltage at 10 kVac. Addition of the homogenizing agent at 5 phr can improve the mechanical compatibility of blends, as evidenced by the positive deviation of shear viscosity of the rubber blend, that is, the calculated shear viscosity being higher than that of experimental data. Moreover, the pulsed NMR results indicated that the spin‐spin relaxation (T₂) of all three components of the rubber blend was compressed upon the addition of the homogenizing agent. The ratio of NR/EPDM in the blend to best resist the ozone gas is 80/20 with the addition of silica of 30 phr into the blend. Also, the NR/EPDM filled with silica had a decreased change in thermal and mechanical properties of blends after thermal aging. The synergistic effect of silica content and high NR content (80) in 20 phr EPDM could improve antioxidation by ozone in the absence of a normal antioxidant for natural rubber. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dynamic mechanical properties of semi‐interpenetrating polymer network‐based on nitrile rubber and poly(methyl methacrylate‐co‐butyl acrylate)

In this article, semi‐interpenetrating polymer network (Semi‐IPNs) based on nitrile rubber (NBR) and poly(methyl methacrylate‐co‐butyl acrylate) (P(MMA‐BA)) were synthesized. The structure and damping properties of the prepared Semi‐IPNs blends were characterized and by fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG), and tensile mechanical properties. The results showed that interpenetrating network based on P(MMA‐BA) and NBR was successfully obtained, which showed the improved thermal stability compared to NBR/P(MMA‐BA)‐based two‐roll mill blends. Furthermore, Semi‐IPNs showed significantly better the dynamic mechanical properties than that of the two‐roll mill system. With the increasing feed ratio of BA and MMA during the preparation of Semi‐IPNs, the loss peak position for P(MMA‐BA) in NBR/PMMA IPNs shifted to a lower temperature from 20°C to ?17°C, and when NBR in Semi‐IPNs was accounted for 40 wt %, the dynamic mechanical thermal analysis showed that much more advanced damping material with wider temperature range (?30°C < T < 80°C) as tan δ > 0.45 can be achieved. Therefore, it was expected as a promising way to obtain the excellent damping materials with good oil‐resisted properties according the Semi‐IPNs system. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

Study of carbon black distribution in BR/NBR blends based on damping properties: Influences of carbon black particle size,filler, and rubber polarity

Effects of filler and rubber polarity on the distribution of filler in butadiene/nitrile rubber (BR/NBR) blends were investigated, using the dynamic mechanical thermal analysis technique. As 30-phr filler is added, the reduction in heights of damping peaks (tan δ_max), attributed to the dilution effect, was observed. It was also found that the BR phase in the blends, compared to the NBR phase, is more preferential for small- and large-particle size carbon blacks to reside, probably because of the lower viscosity and lower polarity of the BR phase. The addition of silica instead of carbon black leads to an increase in filler migration to the NBR in the 20/80 BR/NBR blend, which is attributed to the strong silica–NBR interaction. In addition, an increase in NBR polarity promotes carbon black migration to the BR phase. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 81: 3198–3203, 2001

Acrylic rubber‐fluorocarbon rubber miscible blends: Effect of curatives and fillers on cure,mechanical, aging,and swelling properties

The cure characteristics and mechanical properties of gum and filled acrylic rubber (ACM), fluorocarbon rubber (FKM), and their blends of varying compositions were studied both under unaged and aged conditions. The rheometric study showed that optimum cure properties were obtained using a mixed curing system of blocked diamine, hexamethylenediamine carbamate (Diak #1), and ammonium benzoate. From varying the curing agents, the optimum levels of Diak #1 and ammonium benzoate were found to be 1.5 and 2.5 phr, respectively. The addition of different fillers and their loading influenced the cure properties, with increased torque and reduced scorch safety. The gum and filled 50:50 (w/w) ACM‐FKM showed overall performance in strength properties. Postcuring improved the strength of all the systems, especially the systems with a higher proportion of FKM. None of the properties changed significantly during aging of the blends. FKM and the blends containing a higher proportion of FKM were affected least by aging. Swelling of the blends was reduced by the addition of fillers. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis showed a single tan δ peak corresponding to a single phase transition for both cured and filled blends. The storage modulus of the blend increased from the gum blend to the filled blend, indicating the presence of polymer‐filler interaction. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mechanical and sorption properties of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate)(EVA) compatibilized acrylonitrile butadiene rubber/natural rubber blend systems

Poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) has been used as a compatibilizer for heterogeneous natural rubber/acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NR/NBR) blends. NR/NBR (50/50) blends were compatibilized with varying amounts, from 0 to 10 parts per hundred rubber (phr), of EVA. The compatibility of the blend components in presence of EVA has been evaluated in terms of mechanical and sorption characteristics. The mechanical properties were found to be improved by the addition of EVA upto 6 phr. The solvent resistance of the compatibilized samples has been observed to be higher compared to the uncompatibilized blends; attributed to the increased interfacial adhesion between the blend components. DSC studies showed a shift of glass transition temperatures of the blend components towards higher temperatures indicating increased rigidity of the matrix in presence of EVA.
