Curing characteristics and mechanical and morphological properties of styrene butadiene rubber/virgin acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (SBR/vNBR) and styrene butadiene rubber/recycled acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (SBR/rNBR) were investigated. Results indicated that the curing characteristics, such as scorch time, t2, and cure time, t90, of SBR/vNBR and SBR/rNBR blends decreased with increasing vNBR and rNBR content. At similar blend ratios, particularly up to 15 phr, SBR/rNBR blends exhibited higher t2 and t90 compared with SBR/vNBR blends. Minimum torque (ML) and maximum torque (MH) of SBR/vNBR blends significantly increased with increasing vNBR content. For SBR/rNBR blends, ML increased with increasing rNBR content, but MH exhibited the opposite trend. Tensile strength, elongation at break (Eb), resilience, and fatigue decreased with increasing virgin and recycled NBR content in both blends. Up to 15 phr, the tensile strength, Eb and fatigue life (Kc) of SBR/rNBR blends were higher than in SBR/vNBR blends. The M100 (stress at 100% elongation), hardness, and cross-linking density of both blends also showed an increasing trend with increasing vNBR and rNBR content. The scanning electron microscopy study indicates that rNBR exhibited a weak rNBR-SBR matrix interaction particularly when more than 15 phr of rNBR was used, thus decreasing the mechanical properties of SBR/rNBR blends. 相似文献
In this paper, double-network structure nanocomposite with improved mechanical and thermal properties were prepared using high-impact polystyrene as a matrix phase, clay and graphene oxide as effective reinforcing fillers through a facile solution intercalation method. The structure and morphology of nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and the synergetic effects of clay and graphene oxide on the final properties were investigated using tensile, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analysis. Mechanical analysis showed that the combination of graphene oxide and clay exerted a favorable synergistic effect on the tensile modulus and the yield strength of the ternary composite that are greatly improved as compared with neat high-impact polystyrene, high-impact polystyrene/graphene oxide, and high-impact polystyrene/clay binary composites due to the double-network structure formation between the nanofillers as confirmed by the direct morphological observations using transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The viscoelastic behavior showed that storage modulus of ternary composite significantly improvement over than that of the pure matrix, high-impact polystyrene/graphene oxide and high-impact polystyrene/clay while network structure made. TGA and DMTA measurements also demonstrated that thermal stability of high-impact polystyrene matrix modified by graphene oxide and clay slightly enhanced during the creation of dual network structure of graphene oxide and clay. Our data suggest a potential application for the combination of graphene oxide and clay in graphene-based composite materials. 相似文献
Abstract The effect of treatment of coupling agent [Bis (3-triethoxy-silyl-propyl) tetrasulphide] on mechanical properties of composites made from styrene butadiene rubber and clay is reported in this paper. The coupling agent in the form of solution (1.0%) was used for treatment of the filler. The treatment resulted in enhancement of mechanical properties of composites when compared with composites containing untreated clay. The properties under consideration were tensile strength, modulus at 100% and 400%, Young's modulus, hardness, etc. Good reinforcement was observed due to treatment of 1% coupling agent. Tensile strength was improved by 11%, modulus at 400% was found to improve by 237%, elongation at break was improved by 250%, while Young's modulus also was improved by 298% for treated clay composites, respectively, at 0.41 volume fraction when compared with untreated clay composites. 相似文献
Summary: Three rubber‐based nanocomposites, natural rubber (NR), styrene‐butadiene rubber (SBR), and ethylene‐propylene‐diene rubber (EPDM) matrixes, were prepared with octadecylamine modified fluorohectorite (OC) by melt blending. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that the SBR/OC and EPDM/OC nanocomposites exhibited a well‐ordered intercalated structure and a disordered intercalated structure, respectively. In the case of the NR/OC nanocomposite, it exhibited an intermediate intercalated and even exfoliated structure. These results were in good agreement with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations. Furthermore, in the NR/OC and SBR/OC systems, the mixing process played a predominant role in the formation of nanometer‐scale dispersion structure, whereas the intercalated structure of EPDM/OC formed mainly during the vulcanization process. The tensile strength of SBR/OC and EPDM/OC nanocomposites loading 10 phr OC was 4–5 times higher than the value obtained for the corresponding pure rubber vulcanizate, which could be ascribed to the slippage of the rubber molecules and the orientation of the intercalated OC. For the strain‐induced crystallization NR, the exfoliated OC efficiently improved the modulus of the NR/OC nanocomposite relative to the pure NR. However, its hindrance on NR crystallization during the tensile process may be the main reason for the decrease in tensile strength of NR/OC.
