Studies on the effect of 4A zeolite on the properties of intumescent flame-retardant agent filled natural rubber composites

This investigation focused on the research of 4A zeolite on the properties of intumescent flame retardant (IFR) agent filled natural rubber (NR) systems. The first part focused on the evaluation of such characteristics as cure characteristics, tensile property, abrasion loss, and cross-linking density of NR composites. Experimental results demonstrated that the addition of 4A zeolite could increase the cross-linking density of the NR systems. The incorporation of 0.3 phr of 4A zeolite with 50 phr of IF Ragent could improve the elongation value from 480 to 610%, probably 27% increase. Also, the abrasion loss was decreased from 0.95 to 0.70 cm³, nearly 26%. The second part focused on the study of flame-retardant (FR) properties of 4A zeolite filled NR systems. The properties and structure of these composites were characterized by limited oxygen index (LOI), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and cone calorimeter. It was proved that the addition of 0.3 phr of 4A zeolite into the IFR filled NR systems could lead to an increase of LOI value and thermal stability, together with a decrease of mass loss ration, rate of heat release (RHR), carbon monoxide (CO) evolution and carbon dioxide (CO₂) evolution, and so on, in a word, an improvement of FR properties.     

SBR-clay-carbon black hybrid nanocomposites for tire tread application

Styrene butadiene rubber-organoclay nanocomposites were prepared with Cloisite 15A via melt intercalation. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy indicated that the nanostructures are partially exfoliated and intercalated. The nanocomposites exhibited great improvements in tensile strength and tensile modulus. The incorporation of organoclay gave rise to considerable reduction of tan delta and increase in storage modulus in the rubbery region. It is shown that after 6 phr (parts per hundred rubber) clay loading there is not much increase in the properties. The effect of carbon black (N330) on mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical properties, heat build up, abrasion resistance in the nanocomposites having the optimized clay level (6 phr) was investigated. Optimum results were obtained with the addition of 25 phr carbon black. For comparison with the 6phr nanoclay and 25phr N330 (high abrasion furnace carbon black) filled SBR composites, 40 phr N330 filled SBR composites was used. The 6phr organoclay and 25phr N330 filled SBR nanocomposite showed better properties than 40phr carbon filled SBR compound. These results indicate that 6phr organoclay can be replaced by 15 phr carbon black from the conventional SBR-carbon black based tire tread compounds. The Dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) results revealed that the new tire tread compound gives better rolling resistance and comparable wet grip resistance and lower heat build up than that of conventional tread compound.     

Torrefied agro-industrial residue as filler in natural rubber compounds

This study explored the feasibility of using torrefied biomass as a reinforcing filler in natural rubber compounds. Carbon black was then replaced with the torrefied biomass in elastomer formulations for concentrations varying from 0% to 100% (60 parts per hundred rubber or phr total). Their influence on the curing process, dynamic properties, and mechanical properties was investigated. Results were compared with the properties of vulcanizates containing solely carbon black fillers. Time to cure (t₉₀) for compounds with torrefied biomass fillers increased, while filler-filler interactions (ΔG') decreased, compared to carbon black controls. At low strains, the tan δ values of the torrefied fillers vulcanizates were similar to the controls. Incorporation of torrefied biomass into natural rubber decreased compound tensile strength and modulus but increased elongation. Replacement with torrefied fillers resulted in a weaker filler network in the matrix. Still, results showed that moderate substitution concentrations (~20 phr) could be feasible for some natural rubber applications.     

Studies in the utilization of agricultural waste products as filler in natural rubber compounds

Natural rubber samples were filled with agricultural waste products (cocoa pod husks and rubber‐seed shell) at 50 phr, mixed on a two‐roll mill, and cured using the semiefficient vulcanization system. The physicomechanical properties, tensile strength, modulus at 100% elongation, elongation at break, hardness, abrasion resistance, flex fatigue and compression set, of the agricultural waste products‐filled natural rubber compounds were determined and compared with the values obtained for vulcanisates filled with commercial carbon black (HAF N330). The effect of blending the raw and carbonized agricultural waste products with the commercial grade N330 carbon black on the physicomechanical properties of the natural compounds was studied. It was found that the raw agricultural waste products were ineffective compared with N330 carbon black as reinforcing filler for natural rubber compound mixes and could be classified as semireinforcing fillers. Blends containing up to 40 wt % of the raw agricultural waste products and more than 60 wt % of the carbonized waste products gave natural rubber compounds with comparable physciomechanical properties with compound obtained with N330 carbon black. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Improving adhesion properties between rubber compound and brass-plated steel cord by the addition of epoxidized natural rubber to rubber compound

The adhesion between a rubber compound containing epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) and a brassplated steel cord was studied to shed light on the role of ENR for the improvement of adhesion. The addition of ENR in the rubber compound caused cure rate to decrease, and as ENR loading increased, modulus and hardness increased while tensile strength and elongation at break decreased. An improvement of adhesion was obvious with low loading of ENR at the range of 2 phr, while an adverse effect was observed with higher concentrations of 10 phr. Since the ratio of sulfur to copper at the interphase of the rubber compound/brass film adhesion sample increases with increased ENR loading up to 2 phr, the acceleration of sulfide formation by ENR could be proven. Adequate curing of rubber and the formation of high-molecular layer at the interphase by addition of small amount of ENR improve adhesion. However, the toughening of the rubber caused by the addition of larger amounts of ENR degrades the adhesion due to the poor physical properties of the rubber compound.     

Effect of pre-mastication on dispersion of nanoclay in presence of carbon black in an inner liner compound: Studies on physicomechanical and functional properties

The present study demonstrates the use of “pre-mastication” technique for getting higher dispersion of organoclay, Cloisite 15A, in an inner liner compound based on 70:30 bromobutyl and natural rubber blend, in presence of higher concentration of carbon black (60 phr) for the improvement of functional properties like fatigue cut growth and air permeability resistance. Studies have showed that the organoclay was almost equally distributed within the blend both in absence as well as in presence of carbon black. The vulcanization curve showed a marked increase in cure acceleration as well as a significant rise in the maximum torque value because of higher crosslinking aided by the participation of the quaternary amine present in Cloisite 15A; however, in the carbon black loaded compound, the cure acceleration was not so pronounced because of engaging interaction between amine and functional groups of carbon black. The microscopic study revealed a good dispersion of Cloisite 15A within the elastomer blend- in presence of carbon black. The anisotropic platelets of Cloisite 15A and carbon black particles jointly formed “nano units”, which occluded a portion of elastomer segments vis-a-vis partial intercalation within the clay gallery. Such a reinforcing model was instrumental in improving the physicomechanical and functional properties under static and dynamic conditions. The organoclay displayed a much-improved properties at 2 and 4 phr doses in presence of 60 phr carbon black because of formation of enough “nano units” while deterioration was observed at 6 phr dose due to clay aggregation. Based on the results obtained on functional properties it was concluded that the 4 phr of organoclay compounded in “pre-mastication” mode delivered the best improvement and thus it was recommended for future up-scaling study.

Effect of filler–filler interaction on rheological behaviour of natural rubber compounds filled with both carbon black and silica

Rubber compounds are reinforced with fillers such as carbon black and silica. In general, filled rubber compounds show smooth rheological behaviour in measurement of Mooney viscosity or Mooney scorch time. Variation in rheological behaviour was studied in terms of the filler composition using natural rubber compounds filled with both carbon black and silica (carbon black/silica = 60/20,40/40, and 20/60 phr). The compound filled with carbon black/silica of 60/20 phr showed normal rheological behaviour. However, the compounds filled with carbon black/silica of 40/40 and 20/60 phr showed abnormal rheological behaviour, in which the viscosity increased suddenly and then decreased at a certain point during the measurement. The abnormal behaviour was explained by the strong filler–filler interaction of silica. Moreover, the abnormal rheological behaviour was displayed more clearly as the storage time of compounds is increased. © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry     

Influence of carbon black in polychloroprene organoclay nanocomposite with improved mechanical,electrical and morphology characteristics

Abstract

The effect of carbon black on nanoclay filled polychloroprene (CR) composites has been investigated. The nanoclay loading is fixed at 5 part per hundred rubbers (phr), and carbon black loading varied from 5 to 20 phr in rubber compounds. The rubber nanocomposites are prepared in laboratory by mixing in two-roll mill. The addition of nanoclay enhances mechanical properties especially tear strength and decreases water absorption without change in electrical properties compared to gum rubber vulcanisates. Wide angle X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy are used to study the microstructure of CR nanocomposites. The addition of 5 parts of nanoclay to 15 phr carbon black filled samples shows synergistic effect between the fillers and suggests that the reinforcement is due to a more developed filler network formation in hybrid filler system than that in single phase filler. Significant improvement in mechanical, electrical and low water absorption properties has been obtained with these nanoclay and carbon black filled rubber nanocomposites. The paper concludes that nanocomposites containing a mixture of organoclay and carbon black in right proportion can be a substitute for rubber components used in underwater cable and device encapsulation applications.     

Wear characteristics of styrene butadiene rubber/natural rubber blends with varying carbon blacks by DIN abrader and mining rock surfaces

In this study, nine rubber compounds were produced by varying the proportions of natural rubber (NR), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), and four different carbon blacks. Tensile and tear properties are enhanced by the addition of intermediate super abrasion furnace (ISAF) N231, and modulus increases for the compounds containing N234 carbon blacks. The wear behavior of the prepared rubber vulcanizates against various rocks, such as, granite, shale, schist, sandstone, coal, and concrete, at 4.4 N normal load and 0.8 m/s relative sliding speed were studied in a specially fabricated experimental setup. The DIN abrasion testing results show good abrasion resistant properties of 70 phr NR and 30 phr SBR with N231 grade ISAF type carbon black. Also, moderate abrasion resistance is found in rubber compound containing 80 phr NR and 20 phr SBR with N234 grade ISAF type of carbon black. Out of the various rock types, the schist and sandstone are observed to be highly abrasive against the prepared rubber compounds. The microscopic examination of the abraded rubber surfaces has indicated the formation of longitudinal grooves against harder rocks and transverse ridges against softer rocks. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

炭黑补强异戊橡胶和天然橡胶性能之对比研究

用填充炭黑的异戊橡胶（IR）和天然橡胶（NR）分别研究其硫化特性、力学性能、热空气老化性能和动态力学性能。结果表明,异戊橡胶比天然橡胶的硫化速度慢,焦烧时间长。随着炭黑用量的增多,IR和NR的300％定伸应力增大,拉伸强度和拉断伸长率都下降,撕裂强度出现了峰值。炭黑用量增加到40份时,IR的拉伸强度下降最缓慢,耐老化性能最好;而NR随炭黑用量增加,其拉伸强度下降加快,耐老化性能变差。0℃时IR的损耗因子大于NR的损耗因子;60℃时,IR的损耗因子小于NR的损耗因子。     

Effect of adhesive‐coated glass fiber in natural rubber (NR), acrylonitrile rubber (NBR), and ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDM) formulations. II. Effect of cyclic loading,abrasion, and accelerated aging

Treated glass fibers (RICS, 3 and 6 mm in length) were added at a concentrations of 10, 20, and 30 phr in natural rubber (NR), nitrile rubber (NBR), and ethylene–propylene–diene comonomer (EPDM) formulations, in both plain and carbon black mixes. The compounds were mixed in two‐roll mill and were evaluated for their resistance to hot‐air aging, abrasion, compression set, Goodrich heat buildup, De Mattia fatigue, and for NR mixes, adhesion in the tensile mode. The vulcanizates of the three rubbers showed resistance to hot‐air aging. Abrasion resistance was poor for NR, and it improved with carbon black addition in the presence of treated glass fiber in NBR. In carbon‐black‐added EPDM vulcanizates, the abrasion resistance and fatigue resistance were better. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 1124–1135, 2004     

Organo-montmorillonite as substitute of carbon black in natural rubber compounds

The use of octadecylamine modified montmorillonite as substitute of carbon black in natural rubber (NR) compounds is studied. Rubber with 10 parts per hundred resin (phr) of pristine (clay) and octadecylamine modified montmorillonite (organoclay) were compared with 10 and 40 phr carbon black as filler. The modified silicate is analysed by X-ray, FTIR and thermogravimetric analysis. Vulcametric curves show that the organoclay and carbon black accelerate the vulcanization reaction and, furthermore, give rise to a marked increase in the torque, indicating a higher degree of crosslinking as was also confirmed by swelling measurements and DSC. The vulcanisation rate and torque value of the organoclay compound are sensibly higher than the carbon black compound even at high contents (40 phr). Mechanical characterization shows the strong reinforcing effect of both fillers up to 350% in the strength in relation to NR. The mechanical properties of NR with 10 phr organoclay are comparable to the compound with 40 phr carbon black. Moreover, the organoclay improves the strength of the NR without hardly any reduction in the elasticity of the material.     

Effects of a quaternary ammonium salt on the properties of carbon‐black‐filled natural rubber compounds

The effects of a quaternary ammonium salt, cetyltrimethylammonium maleate (CTMAM) on the curing characteristics and mechanical properties of carbon‐black‐filled natural rubber compounds are determined. Results indicate that CTMAM increases the rate of vulcanization to a maximum at 1 phr (part per hundred parts of rubber) followed by a decrease as the concentration of CTMAM is further increased. The incorporation of CTMAM also improves mechanical properties such as tensile and tear strengths, tensile modulus, hardness and resilience, whilst elongation at break shows a decreasing trend. CTMAM also improves filler dispersion and increases the extent of crosslinking of carbon‐black‐filled natural rubber compounds. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry

Efficiency of some novel carbon black/rubber coupling agents

The effect of some new synthesized carbon black/rubber coupling agents without nitrosogroups have been investigated in comparison with one commercially available coupling agent N, N′-bis(2-methyl-2-nitropropyl)-1,6-diaminohexane (Sumifine^TM 1162). Rubber compounds based on natural rubber and carbon black N-220 were used for these experiments. Tensile properties, impact resilience, and heat buildup of vulcanized rubber are improved with all coupling agents under investigation in comparison with the unmodified compound. Any positive effect of coupling agents appears also in tear resistance, dynamic flow, and permanent set. The correlation between the efficiency and chemical structure of coupling agents is discussed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
