Comprehensively improved mechanical properties of silane crosslinked polypropylene/ethylene propylene diene monomer elastomer blends

The properties and structure of silane crosslinked polypropylene (PP)/ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) elastomer blends had been carried out. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gel content tests were employed to evaluate the crosslinking reaction of PP/EPDM blends. Crosslinking efficiency of PP/EPDM blends was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimeter, dynamic mechanical analysis, dynamic rheology, and tensile testing. Tanδ curves of silane crosslinked PP/EPDM blends exhibited an obvious “gel point” originated from the formation of dynamic crosslinking network. The blend corresponding to the “gel point” presented comprehensively improved mechanical properties. These results demonstrated that characteristic rheological parameters showed close correlations with key mechanical properties of silane crosslinked PP/EPDM blends. Scanning electron microscopy images illustrated that crosslinking had remarkably changed the morphologies of PP/EPDM blends. The large deformation mechanism of these blends had been suggested.

Mechanical properties,morphological structure,and thermal behavior of dynamically photocrosslinked PP/EPDM blends

A dynamically photocrosslinked polypropylene (PP)/ethylene–propylene–diene (EPDM) rubber thermoplastic elastomer was prepared by simultaneously exposing the elastomer to UV light while melt‐mixing in the presence of a photoinitiator as well as a crosslinking agent. The effects of dynamic photocrosslinking and blend composition on the mechanical properties, morphological structure, and thermal behavior of PP/EPDM blends were investigated. The results showed that after photocrosslinking, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and elongation at break were improved greatly. Moreover, the notched Izod impact strength was obviously enhanced compared with corresponding uncrosslinked blend. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) morphological analysis showed that for uncrosslinked PP/EPDM blends, the cavitation of EPDM particles was the main toughening mechanism; whereas for dynamically photocrosslinked blends, shear yielding of matrix became the main energy absorption mechanism. The DSC curves showed that for each dynamically photocrosslinked PP/EPDM blend, there was a new smaller melting peak at about 152°C together with a main melting peak at about 166°C. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) indicated that the compatibility between EPDM and PP was improved by dynamic photocrosslinking. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Miscibility of blends of ethylene‐propylene‐diene terpolymer and polypropylene

The miscibility of polymers is not only an important basis for selecting a proper blending method, but it is also one of the key factors in determining the morphology and properties of the blends. The miscibility between ethylene‐propylene‐diene terpolymer (EPDM) and polypropylene (PP) was explored by means of dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that a decrease in the PP content and an increase of the crosslinking density of EPDM in the EPDM/PP blends caused the glass‐transition temperature peaks of EPDM to shift from a lower temperature to higher one, yet there was almost no variance in the glass‐transition temperature peaks of PP and the degree of crystallinity of PP decreased. It was observed that the blends prepared with different mixing equipment, such as a single‐screw extruder and an open mill, had different mechanical properties and blends prepared with the former had better mechanical properties than those prepared with the latter. The TEM micrographs revealed that the blends were composed of two phases: a bright, light PP phase and a dark EPDM phase. As the crosslinking degree of EPDM increased, the interface between the phases of EPDM and PP was less defined and the EPDM gradually dispersed in the PP phase became a continuous phase. The results indicated that EPDM and PP were both partially miscible. The mechanical properties of the blends had a lot to do with the blend morphology and the miscibility between the blend components. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dynamic properties of rubber vibration isolators and antivibration performance of ethylene–propylene–diene monomer/nylon 6 blend systems

This article examines thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) as two types of elastomers from melt-blended and dynamically vulcanized ethylene–propylene–diene monomer (EPDM) rubber materials and nylon 6 plastic materials. A series of investigations were conducted on the mechanical properties, morphology, dynamic mechanical properties, hysteresis behavior, and dynamic antivibration properties with different nylon 6 contents. The experimental results showed that the incompatibility between EPDM and nylon 6 led to the easy destruction of the TPV materials in two interfacial polymers upon the application of an external force. Thus, after a dynamic vulcanization process, the mechanical properties of the EPDM/nylon 6 blends were not as good as those of the TPE materials. In terms of morphology, nylon 6 plastics were uniformly distributed in the EPDM/nylon 6 blends during the EPDM rubber phase before vulcanization was performed. After the dynamic vulcanization, phase inversion was produced in which rubber microparticles were formed and dispersed in the nylon 6 plastic phase. The results of dynamic mechanical analysis, compression vibration hysteresis behavior, and dynamic property antivibration experiments showed that the blends provided better vibration isolation and antivibration performance after the amount of nylon 6 was increased and EPDM and nylon 6 were blended through dynamic vulcanization. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mechanical properties and structural characteristics of dynamically photocrosslinked PP/EPDM blends

The mechanical properties and crystal morphological structures of dynamically photocrosslinked polypropylene (PP)/ethylene‐propylene‐diene terpolymer (EPDM) blends have been studied by mechanical tests, wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Dynamically photocrosslinking of PP/EPDM blends can improve the mechanical propertiess considerably, especially the notched Izod impact strength at low temperature. Data obtained from mechanical tests show that the notched Izod impact strength of a dynamically photocrosslinked sample with 30% EPDM at ?20°C is about six times that of an uncrosslinked sample with the same EPDM component. The results from the WAXD, SEM, and DSC measurements reveal the enhanced mechanism of impact strength for the dynamically photocrosslinked PP/EPDM blends as follows: (i) the β‐type crystal structure of PP is formed and the interplanar distance of β‐type crystal increases slightly with an increase in the EPDM component; (ii) the droplet size of the EPDM phase in the photocrosslinked PP/EPDM blends is obviously reduced and the droplet number is increased with an increase in the EPDM component during the dynamical photocrosslinking process; (iii) the graft copolymer of PP‐g‐EPDM is formed at the interface between PP and EPDM components. All the above changes from the crystal morphological structures are favorable for increasing the compatibility and enhancing the toughness of PP/EPDM blends at low temperatures.     

Effects of blend composition and dynamic vulcanization on the morphology and dynamic viscoelastic properties of PP/EPDM blends

The morphology and dynamic viscoelastic properties of isotactic polypropylene (PP) blended with oil-free/oil-extended ethylene–propylene–diene (EPDM) rubbers were studied. Unvulcanized and dynamically vulcanized blends with the compositions PP/EPDM = 50/50 and = 30/70 were investigated. The morphology was observed by phase contrasted atomic force microscopy. The dynamic viscoelastic properties were determined with a rheometer of plate–plate configuration. It was shown that the rheological behavior was strongly affected by both the composition and the morphology of the blends. Significant improvement in the flowability of the dynamically vulcanized blends was observed when oil-extended EPDM was used instead of the oil-free version. It was demonstrated that the rheological properties are mostly controlled by the elastomer phase at low frequencies, while in the high-frequency range the influence of PP becomes dominant. The peculiarities in the rheological behavior of the thermoplastic elastomers (uncured blends, TPE) and thermoplastic dynamic vulcanizates (TPV, dynamically cured blends) containing oil-extended EPDMs were traced to a limited compatibility between the PP and EPDM components in the melt. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
