Influence of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) morphology and poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile) (SAN) content on fracture behavior of ABS/SAN blends

This study attempted to correlate morphological changes and physical properties for a high rubber content acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) and its diluted blends with a poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile) (SAN) copolymer. The results showed a close relationship between rubber content and fracture toughness for the blends. The change of morphology in ABS/SAN blends explains in part some deviations in fracture behavior observed in ductile–brittle transition temperature shifts. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Toughening and Compatibilization of Acrylonitrile–Butadiene–Styrene/Poly (Ethylene Terephthalate) Blends Using an Oxazoline-Functionalized Impact Modifier

An oxazoline-functionalized core–shell impact modifier was synthesized between aminoethanol and acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene high rubber powder. According to the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy test, the nitrile groups were partially converted into oxazoline groups successfully. The oxazoline-functionalized acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene high rubber powder was used as an impact modifier for acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene/poly(ethylene terephthalate) blends. The differential scanning calorimeter and rheological tests demonstrated that poly(ethylene terephthalate) was partially miscible with acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene, because the oxazoline groups of oxazoline-functionalized acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene high rubber powder reacted with the end groups of poly(ethylene terephthalate). The results of scanning electron microscopy indicated that the morphology of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene/poly(ethylene terephthalate) blends with proper oxazoline-functionalized acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene high rubber powder content was improved significantly. The best mechanical properties were achieved, When 6 wt% oxazoline-functionalized acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene high rubber powder was added into acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene/poly(ethylene terephthalate) blends.     

Improvement of properties of silica‐filled natural rubber compounds using polychloroprene

Because silica has strong filler–filler interactions, a silica‐filled rubber compound is characterized by a poor dispersion of the filler. Properties of silica‐filled natural rubber (NR) compounds were improved using polychloroprene (chloroprene rubber [CR]). The bound rubber content of the compound increases and the filler dispersion is also improved by adding CR to the compound. Physical properties such as modulus, tensile strength, abrasion, and crack resistance are improved by adding CR. Elongation at break of the vulcanizates containing CR is longer than that of the vulcanizate without CR, although crosslink density of the former is higher than that of the latter. The improved physical properties are attributed to the good dispersion of silica by adding CR. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 83: 2609–2616, 2002     

Adhesion between poly(ethylene terephthalate) silk and chlorohydrin rubber for aerial film

The surface adhesion activation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) silk (PET silk) was accomplished through dipping in a reaction product of a water‐soluble modified epoxide resin (SJR‐2) and a precondensed resorcinol‐formaldehyde (SJR‐1), and by partial curing of the dip. Then, the adhesion activated sample was coated with a single resorcinol‐formaldehyde latex (RFL) dip prepared from SJR‐1. The effects of heat treatment conditions and formulation of impregnation solution as well as RFL prepared with water‐soluble SJR‐1 resin on the adhesion between PET silk and chlorohydrin rubber for aerial film were studied. High adhesion between PET silk and chlorohydrin rubber was obtained by using optimized RFL formulation and heat treatment condition, and the high levels of adhesion were maintained after oil impregnating test, dynamic fatigue and storage stability test. The PET silk possessed good adhesion to natural rubber (NR), chloroprene rubber (CR), hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR), acrylonitrile‐butadiene and rubber (NBR), and chlorohydrin rubber (CHR). RFL filled with diffused carbon black improved the fatigue endurance and oil resistance of adhesion. The adhesion activator is nontoxic. This method of adhesion activation and RFL preparation for adhesion treatment of poly(ethylene terephthalate) silk is a practical technique with excellent technological, economical, and safety effects. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and Evaluation of Some Investigated Natural and Acrylonitrile Rubber Vulcanizates for Physiotherapeutic Purposes

A trial was made to design and prepare rubber article that can be used to reactivate, strengthen, and reinforce the hand muscles and fingers which had suffered from trouble movement. The investigated rubber article was prepared from natural and acrylonitrile rubber formulations. These formulations were processed in the form of compounds which contain significant quantities of fillers such as Hisil, CaCO₃, and TiO₂. The rheological characteristics and physicochemical properties of the vulcanizates were determined according to standard tests. It was found that it is possible to prepare the designated rubber article for the desired purpose. The test results showed that the prepared rubber article had good chemical resistance against acid, alkali, and salt. This rubber also possessed high resistance to deterioration and deformation. The prepared article had an ability to retain its elastic property after the action of compressive forces at 70°C for 24 h. This property was confirmed by its application in commercial therapeutic hand-exercise article.

Nanomodified fillers in chloroprene‐rubber‐compatibilized natural rubber/acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber blends

Because of the structural dissimilarity, natural rubber (NR) and acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR) are immiscible, and compatibilizers are used during their blending. Neoprene or chloroprene rubber (CR) has a polar chlorine part and a nonpolar hydrocarbon part. Also, it has many advantageous properties, such as oil resistance, toughness, a dynamic flex life, and adhesion capacity. Hence, it is not less scientific to use CR as a compatibilizer in the blending of NBR with NR. Because many fewer studies on the use of neoprene as a compatibilizer in NR–NBR blend preparation are available, efforts were made to prepare 20:80 NR–NBR blends with CR with the aim of studying the effect of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)‐coated nano calcium silicate along with nano N‐benzylimine aminothioformamide and stearic acid coated nano zinc oxide in the sulfur vulcanization of the blends. The optimum dosage of the compatibilizer was derived by the determination of the tensile properties, tear resistance, abrasion resistance, compressions set, and swelling values. The tensile strength, tear resistance, and abrasion resistance of the gum vulcanizates of the blend were improved by the compatibilizing action of CR up to 5 parts per hundred parts of rubber (phr). In the case of the filled vulcanizates, the tear resistance, 300% modulus, hardness, and abrasion resistance increased with increasing dosage of nano calcium silicate. The elongation at break percentage decreased as expected when there was an increase in the modulus. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the phase morphology of the blends. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012     

Dynamically vulcanized nitrile rubber/polyoxymethylene thermoplastic elastomers

A new type of oil‐resistant thermoplastic elastomer of nitrile rubber (NBR) and polyoxymethylene (POM) prepared by dynamic vulcanization were studied. The effects of the curing systems for NBR, acrylonitrile content in NBR, POM content, thermal aging, and reprocessing have on the mechanical properties of NBR/POM thermoplastic elastomers were investigated in detail. NBR/POM thermoplastic elastomers have high tensile strength and excellent oil resistance at elevated temperature. NBR/POM thermoplastic elastomers can be produced in a wide range of hardness. NBRs with higher acrylonitrile content are more suitable for preparing NBR/POM thermoplastic elastomer with high tensile strength and good oil resistance. The NBR/POM thermoplastic elastomer has significantly improved electrical insulation properties compared with NBR (Gessler, M. U.S. Pat. 3,037,954, 1962). © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Graft polymerization of some vinyl monomers onto acrylic rubber. II. Mechanical properties of graft polymers

Some mechanical properties of styrene and acrylonitrile copolymers grafted onto acrylic rubber are investigated. The impact strength of graft polymers depended upon the nature and the concentration of the catalyst, the composition and the intrinsic viscosity of the rubber, and the acrylonitrile content in the rigid matrix. The most desirable result was obtained when benzoyl peroxide as the catalyst, n-butyl acrylate–acrylonitrile copolymer of 7–10% acrylonitrile content, and about 0–5% acrylonitrile in the rigid matrix were used. Dynamic mechanical tests show the increase in efficiency of rubber modification by the grafted chains. The better weathering resistance of these graft polymers, as compared with commercial ABS plastics, was confirmed.

Coordination cross‐linking gadolinium salt/acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber composite: Its preparation,characterization, and functional properties

A novel rubber composite of acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber (NBR) filled with gadolinium salt (GS) particles was prepared for the first time and vulcanized via coordination reactions. The resulting materials exhibit good mechanical properties. Structural analyses indicate that the composite is a kind of elastomers based on coordination cross‐linking interactions between the nitrile groups (–CN) of NBR and gadolinium ions. The mechanical properties of vulcanized GS/NBR rubber are altered when the cross‐link density is changed in the composites. These materials show good irradiation resistance because of the introduction of GS. POLYM. COMPOS., 34:1013–1019, 2013. © 2013 Society of Plastics Engineers     

Use of rice bran oil and epoxidized rice bran oil in carbon black–filled natural rubber–polychloroprene blends

In the present study we report the results obtained on the use of rice bran oil (RBO), a naturally occurring nontoxic oil, and its epoxidized variety (epoxidized RBO, or ERBO) in the compounding and vulcanization of different natural rubber–chloroprene rubber (NR–CR) blends. The processability, cure characteristics, and physical properties of the blends prepared with these oils were compared with those of control mixes prepared with aromatic oil. The optimum cure time and scorch time values of the different blends prepared with these oils were found to be lower than those of the respective control blends prepared with aromatic oil. Evaluation of physical properties of the different experimental blends showed that replacement of aromatic oil with these oils did not adversely affect their physical properties. Because RBO contains a good amount of free fatty acids it was tried as a coactivator in addition to its role as a processing aid. The level of these oils required for the blend preparation was optimized in a Brabender plasticorder. Physical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, tear strength, swelling index, and abrasion loss, for example, were evaluated for both experimental and control mixes. Comparison of cure characteristics and physical properties of the blends prepared with aromatic oil and with these oils showed that these oils could be used in place of aromatic oil in the above blends. It is also to be noted that aromatic oil is of petroleum origin and is reported to be carcinogenic. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 90: 4084–4092, 2003     

Magnetic composites prepared by incorporation of strontium ferrite into polar and non‐polar rubber matrices

Strontium ferrite was incorporated into different rubber matrices to prepare rubber magnetic composites. Three types of elastomers, butadiene rubber BR as non‐polar elastomer, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber NBR and blend acrylonitrile butadiene rubber–polyvinyl chloride NBR/PVC as polar elastomers were chosen as rubber matrices. Surface modified strontium ferrite as magnetic filler was applied in concentration scale ranging from 0 to 100 phr. Besides the rubber and the filler, the rubber compounds contained only the ingredients of sulfur curing system. The results revealed that thermo‐physical and magnetic properties of composites increased with doping content of ferrite. Moreover, the improvement of mechanical properties in dependence on strontium ferrite content was also recorded. It can be stated that the improvement of composite properties is in close correlation with the increase of polarity of the rubber matrix. POLYM.

Ethylene vinyl acetate as compatibilizer on cure characteristics and mechanical properties of (natural rubber)/(Recycled acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber) blends

Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) has been used as a compatibilizer for (natural rubber)/(recycled acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber) (NR/NBRr) blends, vulcanized by sulfur. EVA offers excellent heat, ozone, and weather resistance, whereas the vinyl acetate groups provide oil resistance to the blend. It exhibits good tear resistance and may be crosslinked. However, EVA exhibits poor low‐temperature flexibility. NBR gloves have excellent resistance to punctures, tears, and many types of chemicals, while NR has good physical and mechanical properties. NR/NBRr blends were prepared with various compositions with the EVA content fixed. Tensile properties, hardness, and swelling behavior tests were performed to determine the compatibility of NR/NBRr blends in the presence of EVA. Results indicated that incorporation of EVA into NR/NBRr blends improved tensile strength, modulus, and elongation at break compared with NR/NBRr blends without EVA. The improvement in hardness and reduction in resilience on compatibilization are due to an increase in crosslink density, which gives NR/NBRr blends better swelling resistance. Scanning electron microscopy of the fracture surfaces indicates that, with the addition of EVA in NR/NBRr blends, better adhesion between NR and NBRr was obtained, thus improving the compatibility of NR/NBRr blends.
