Curing and barrier properties of NBR/organo-clay nanocomposite

Organo-montmorillonite/NBR nanocomposites were prepared by a melt intercalation process. The characteristics of NBR nanocomposites were characterized by oscillating-disk rheometer, water-vapour transmission and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Changes in cure characteristics resulting from changes in clay content and the addition of silane coupling agent were investigated. The study confirmed that organo-montmorillonite/NBR nanocomposites cure characteristics, viz minimum torque, maximum torque, scorch time and curing time, change according to the change in clay content and the addition of silane coupling agent. Of the water-vapour transport properties, the clay content and silane content are the dominating factors in determining the individual water-vapour permeability of these NBR nanocomposites. TEM analysis provided clear evidence for the homogeneous dispersion of clay in the NBR matrix without regard to increases in clay content. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry     

Structure and properties of nitrile rubber (NBR)–clay nanocomposites by co‐coagulating NBR latex and clay aqueous suspension

Nitrile rubber (NBR)–clay nanocomposites were prepared by co‐coagulating the NBR latex and clay aqueous suspension. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the silicate layers of clay were dispersed in the NBR matrix at the nano level and had a planar orientation. X‐ray diffraction indicated that there were some nonexfoliated silicate layers in the NBR–clay nanocomposites. Stress–strain curves showed that the silicate layers generated evident reinforcement, modulus, and tensile strength of the NBR–clay nanocomposites, which were significantly improved with an increase in the amount of clay, and strain‐at‐break was higher than that of the gum NBR vulcanizate when the amount of clay was more than 5 phr. The NBR–clay nanocomposites exhibited an excellent gas barrier property; the reduction in gas permeability in the NBR–clay nanocomposites can be described by Nielsen's model. Compared with gum NBR vulcanizate, the oxygen index of the NBR–clay nanocomposites increased slightly. The feasibility of controlling rubber flammability via the nanocomposite approach needs to be evaluated further. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 89: 3855–3858, 2003     

Preparation and characteristics of nitrile rubber (NBR) nanocomposites based on organophilic layered clay

The effect of clay modification on organo‐montmorillonite/NBR nanocomposites has been studied. Organo‐montmorillonite/NBR nanocomposites were prepared through a melt intercalation process. NBR nanocomposites were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and a universal testing machine (UTM). XRD showed that the basal spacing in the clay increased, which means that the NBR matrix was intercalated in the clay layer galleries. On TEM images, organo‐montmorillonite (MMT) particles were clearly observed, having been exfoliated into nanoscale layers of about 10–20 nm thickness from their original 40 µm particle size. These layers were uniformly dispersed in the NBR matrix. The DMTA test showed that for these nanocomposites the plateau modulus and glass transition temperature (T_g) increased with respect to the corresponding values of pure NBR (without clay). UTM test showed that the nanocomposites had superior mechanical properties, ie strength and modulus. These improved properties are due to the nanoscale effects and strong interactions between the NBR matrix and the clay interface. Copyright © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry

Radiation induced modification of NBR and SBR montmorillonite nanocomposites

Nanocomposites of two different kinds of rubber (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber NBR and styrene butadiene rubber SBR)/organo-montmorillonite nanocomposites modified by hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide were prepared by the reactive mixing intercalation method in the presence of trimethylolpropane trimethylmethacrylate (TMPTMA). The influence of gamma irradiation on the morphology and properties of the rubber nanocomposites was investigated. Intercalated polar or unsaturated matrices (e.g., NBR and SBR)/OMMT nanocomposites can be obtained, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The clay layers could be uniformly dispersed in the rubber matrix on the nanometer level. Mechanical tests showed that the nanocomposites had good mechanical properties as compared to the neat composites. The results also showed that the irradiated NBR/OMMT nanocomposites had higher thermal stabilities than irradiated SBR/OMMT nanocomposites.     

Morphology and rheological properties of nanocomposites based on nitrile rubber and organophilic layered silicates

Organo‐montmorillonite/nitrile rubber (NBR) nanocomposites were prepared by a melt intercalation process. The characteristics of NBR nanocomposites were determined by an oscillating disk rheometer and transmission electron microscopy. The cure characteristics were investigated according to the change in clay content and clay types. This study confirmed that organo‐montmorillonite/NBR nanocomposites have various cure characteristics, namely minimum torque, maximum torque, scorch time and curing time, according to the change in clay content and clay types. In particular, as the chain length of the modifier used for the treatment of Na⁺‐MMT following vulcanization increases, scorch time and optimum curing time are reduced. This is because, as the chain length of the modifier increases, organo‐MMT is distributed more equally during the formation of the nanocomposites. As swelling increases, the chain length of the clay modifier expands and then constitutes a better barrier. Copyright © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry     

The role of rubber characteristics in preparing rubber/clay nanocomposites by melt compounding

Rubber/organic clay (OC) nanocomposites were produced by melt blending. Polar or unsaturated matrices (e.g., NBR and SBR) could easily enter into OC layers, whereas using nonpolar unsaturated rubber (EPDM), without other additives' help, intercalation structure could not be directly obtained. For the EPDM system, an intercalated structure was observed in presence of stearic acid (SA) for composites composed of SA and OC. Transmission electron microscopy observation showed that the dispersion of clay in nonpolar saturated rubber matrix was much poorer than that in polar or unsaturated matrix. The same effect of polar matrix was confirmed by comparison between IIR/OC and BIIR/OC systems. Moreover, using OC pretreated by SA (S‐OC), the dispersion of clay was obviously improved in the investigated nanocomposites, due to the intercalation of SA into OC interlayers. Especially in the nonpolar saturated EPDM system, the intercalation structure could be easily observed. Relative to the corresponding nanocomposites using OC, tensile strengths and the stresses at low strain of NBR and SBR based nanocomposites with S‐OC were significantly improved; while with EPDM nanocomposite, using S‐OC, only tensile strengths were improved but the stresses at low strain were almost the same, which should be related to the different interfacial force between OC and different rubber matrices. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
