Styrene butadiene rubber/reclaimed rubber blends

Cure characteristics and mechanical properties of styrene butadiene rubber reclaimed rubber blends were studied. The blends showed improved processability, as indicated by the minimum torque values. Cure characteristics like minimum torque, (maximum-minimum) torque, cure time and cure rate decreased in the presence of reclaimed rubber. Tensile strength, tear strength, elongation at break were higher for blends. Resilience decreased with reclaim content. Compression set and abrasion loss were higher in the blends.     

Morphology of plastic/rubber blends

Blends of polypropylene (PP) and ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) and blends of polystyrene (PS) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) were prepared in a laboratory-scale internal mixer at various blend compositions and rotor rates. Blend morphology was studied by means of electron microscopy. For each blend pair under the given processing conditions, the phase inversion process occurred progressively with respect to the variation in blend composition; it is within this composition range of phase inversion that dual-phase continuity was observed. In addition, Characteristic torque values of blends were found to deviate negatively from a linear additivity rule; the composition range of maximum deviation from linear additivity corresponded approximately to the composition range where dual-phase continuity was observed. Sperling's predictive scheme was found to yield acceptable (although not completely satisfactory) estimates for compositions of dual-phase continuity in the present systems. It was also observed that partial cross-linking of SBR during the mechanical blending process, as suggested by the appearance of a cure peak in the torque curve and supported by infrared spectroscopic evidence, resulted in morphological features drastically different from those of the uncured blends.

Characterization and properties of LDPE/(ground tire rubber)/crosslinked butyl rubber blends

In recent years, interest in used rubber recycling, mainly focusing on the utilization of end‐of‐life tires, has heightened. This interest, is owing to the activities related to environmental protection and economic factors, which both stimulate companies to reuse the high‐quality rubber present in ground rubber scrap. In this study, the application of crosslinked butyl rubber in thermoplastic compositions of low‐density polyethylene and ground tire rubber (GTR) is presented. The static and dynamic mechanical properties and morphology of obtained products were studied. The addition of crosslinked butyl rubber to the investigated blends increased the compatibility between the low‐density polyethylene and the GTR particles. It was found that the mechanical properties of thermoplastic compositions containing higher amounts of elastomers (i.e., GTR and crosslinked butyl elastomer) displayed the same behavior, whereas the samples with GTR had worse respective parameters. Depending on their composition, the obtained new polymer blends can be applied to automotive parts, be adapted to pavement surfaces, and become parts of antivibration systems. J. VINYL ADDIT.

Distribution of carbon black in natural rubber/acrylic rubber blends

Distributions of carbon black in 30/70% (w/w) natural rubber (NR)/acrylic rubber (ACM) blends were investigated as a function of the carbon black content and type using a dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) technique. Two different types of carbon black (N220 and N330) were used, and 10–50 phr carbon black was compounded to the rubber blends. From the DMTA thermograms of various blends, the weight fractions of carbon black in the NR and ACM phases were calculated. Carbon black was unevenly distributed in the rubber blend. It preferred to migrate into the NR phase, regardless of the amount of carbon black that was used. By increasing the carbon black content, the weight fraction of carbon black in the NR phase decreased whereas that in the ACM phase increased. A change in the type of carbon black from N220 to N330 significantly decreased the weight fraction of carbon black in the NR phase, but it was not sufficiently strong to affect the tensile properties and hardness of the rubber blend. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

官能化高乙烯基聚丁二烯橡胶与丁腈橡胶共混胶的性能

Microhardness studies of PMMA/natural rubber blends

The microhardness, H, of PMMA/natural rubber blends, prepared following the solution method has been investigated by means of the microindentation technique. Hardness changes are correlated with the variation of the glass transition temperature. The influence of temperature and degree of deformation on H were additionally examined. The inclusion of rubber particles in the PMMA matrix is shown to soften the blends. The variation of the micromechanical property at the phase boundary of polymer/rubber particle has been studied. Results reveal that H drastically drops at the interphase. In the case of the drawn materials, the indentation anisotropy (ΔH) is shown to gradually increase with the draw ratio, where ΔH is found to be higher for the PMMA/rubber blend than for the original PMMA. This result is explained by the higher orientation of the PMMA molecules near the periphery of stretched rubber particles. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 205–210, 2004     

Mechanical properties of polyketone terpolymer/rubber blends

Blends of aliphatic polyketone terpolymer and a core-shell rubber (CSR) were melt processed with varying CSR concentration of 0-40 wt%. The obtained morphology was of finely dispersed CSR particles in the polyketone matrix. The thermal properties of the matrix polymer remained unaffected by the addition of the CSR phase. The crystallinity remained constant at 35 wt% and the melting temperature was not changed. The tensile modulus and yield stress were decreased by the addition of the rubber phase to the aliphatic polyketone polymer. The deformation was strongly delocalised with increasing CSR content. The temperature development during fracture was also strongly reduced with increasing rubber concentration. The CSR phase was found to toughen the aliphatic polyketone matrix very effectively, the brittle to ductile transition temperature was lowered from 90 to −40 °C with the highest rubber concentration (40 wt%). Cavitation experiments revealed that the macroscopic cavitation strain remained constant with increasing rubber content. A study of the deformation zone below the fracture surface showed that voids were produced by cavitation of the rubber phase. The voids were strongly deformed by the plastic deformation of the matrix polymer. At high strain rates a relaxation layer was found below the fracture surface, where the voids were no longer present. This relaxation zone was found to be due to the adiabatic temperature rise of the material during fracture at high strain rates.

Reactive extrusion of PP/natural rubber blends

Reactive extrusion of polypropylene (PP)/natural rubber (NR) (90/10) blends was conducted in the presence of a peroxide [1,3-bis(t-butylperoxy)benzene] and coagent (trimethylolpropanetriacrylate, TMPTA). Effects of peroxide and coagent content were studied in terms of melt index (MI), melt viscosity, morphology, thermal, and mechanical properties. At a constant content of the coagent, melt viscosity increased at a low and decreased at a high content of the peroxide. On the other hand, melt viscosity increased monotonically with the coagent concentration at constant peroxide content. The increase and decrease of viscosity were interpreted in terms of crosslinking and chain scission of PP, which governed the rubber domain size and mechanical properties of the reactive blends. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Mechanical properties of polypropylene/crosslinked rubber blends

Mechanical properties of rubber-modified polymers are not single-valued functions of rubber/matrix type and rubber content, but also vary with processing conditions. The variations in mechanical properties with processing conditions arise mainly from changes in rubber-phase dispersion. In our past work, by lightly crosslinking the rubbers to increase their melt tenacity and strength, we have succeeded in producing fine and consistent dispersions despite diverse processing conditions. In this study, mechanical properties of polypropylene/lightly crosslinked rubber blends are compared with those of polypropylene/uncrosslinked rubber blends. The results indicate that, like dispersion, mechanical properties of polypropylene/crosslinked rubber blends also appear to be consistent and independent of process variables. The influences on mechanical behavior of degree of crosslinking, rubber content, and rubber/matrix type are also discussed.
