SMA、OMMT对PA6/ABS共混物聚集态结构及性能影响的研究

采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)等手段研究了苯乙烯-马来酸酐共聚物(SMA)、有机蒙脱土(OMMT)对尼龙6(PA6)/丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯(ABS)共混物体系聚集态结构及性能的影响.结果表明,SMA与OMMT的加入均可提高PA6/ABS共混物体系的强度及模量,但加入OMMT后共混物的韧性有所下降,而PA6/ABS/SMA共混物的韧性随SMA含量的增加呈上升趋势.SMA、OMMT对PA6/ABS共混体系都有细化ABS分散相的作用,随SMA加入量的增加,ABS分散相尺寸逐渐减小,分布趋于均匀;当OMMT加入量在4 phr以内时,对ABS分散相粒径影响不大,超过4 phr后,随着OMMT含量的增加,ABS分散相的尺寸逐渐减小.XRD与TEM的分析结果表明,对PA6/OMMT(100/5)共混物,OMMT主要以剥离形态分布,同时也存在少量OMMT聚集体;PA6/ABS/OMMT共混物中OMMT则基本以剥离形态选择分布在PA6基体相中.

氧化石墨烯增容尼龙6/聚苯乙烯共混体系的研究

氧化石墨烯(GO)亲水性的边缘和疏水性的中间片层使其具有两亲特性.利用GO的这种特性,将其加入尼龙6(PA6)/聚苯乙烯(PS)的共混体系,以提高PA6和PS的相容性.通过两步法制备了PA6/PS/GO共混物,研究了GO对PA6/PS共混材料结构形态与力学性能的影响,并对其增容机理进行了探讨.扫描电镜(SEM)结果表明,添加GO后,共混材料的分散相尺寸明显变小,分散更为均匀,少量的GO即可达到良好的增容效果.动态力学性能(DMA)测试进一步证明了GO对PA6/PS共混物具有一定的增容性.理论计算也表明PS/GO共混物和PA6具有更接近的表面自由能和较低的界面自由能.添加GO后共混物材料的拉伸性能和韧性明显提高.GO添加量为0.1 wt％时,共混材料的断裂伸长率较未添加GO的共混材料提高了170％,断裂能也提高了近240％.

酚醛树脂的增容作用对聚甲醛/丁腈橡胶共混物的韧性、结晶形态和亚微相态的影响

考察了酚醛树脂(Novolak)的增容作用对聚甲醛(POM)/丁腈橡胶(NBR)共混物的韧性、结晶形态和亚微相态的影响.实验结果表明,POM与NBR不相容,直接共混不能提高POM的韧性;添加Novolak后,当NBR质量分数为40%时共混物发生“脆-韧”转变.POM/NBR共混物中POM球晶尺寸大,易形成应力集中点,导致增韧效果不佳;Novolak可通过与POM的分子链间相互作用,改变POM分子链固有的规程和排列方式,使球晶显著减小.亚微相态显示,POM/NBR呈现“海-岛”结构相态,NBR在基体中分散性很差;添加Novolak可提高NBR在基体中的分散性;当NBR质量分数达到40%时,NBR在基体中呈现带状网络结构.网带结构能够终止受外力作用而在基体中产生的银纹和剪切屈服,增加了共混物的破裂能,从而使共混物的韧性显著提高.

通过热氧加速老化的方法研究了不同的EPDM含量和抗氧剂对聚丙烯和三元乙丙橡胶共混物(PP/EPDM)热氧稳定性的影响.通过对老化前后试样的力学性能变化分析,热失重(TG)分析和扫描电镜(SEM)分析,结果表明:在热氧加速老化的初期,PP/EPDM共混物的拉伸强度随着时间的增长呈逐渐上升的趋势;在老化中期,共混物的拉伸强度变化不大;在老化后期,共混物的拉伸强度逐渐下降.在整个老化过程中,断裂伸长率都呈逐渐下降的趋势.而随着EPDM含量的增加,相应共混物的拉伸强度和断裂伸长率的下降减缓;相应共混物的分解温度得到较大的提高;抗氧剂的加入,能进一步提高共混物的热氧稳定性.     

Dynamically vulcanized ethylene propylene diene terpolymer/nylon thermoplastic elastomers

A thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) of ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) and nylon with excellent mechanical properties was prepared by dynamic vulcanization. The effects of the curing systems, compatibilizer, nylon content and reprocessing on the mechanical properties of EPDM/nylon TPEs were investigated in detail. Experimental results indicate that maleic anhydride (MAH) grafted EPR has a better performance in compatibilizing the EPDM/nylon blends compared with other compatibilizers containing acid group. Tensile strength and elongation at break go through a maximum value at a compatibilizer resin content (on total rubber dosage) of 20%. EPDM/nylon TPE using sulfur as curative has higher tensile strength and elongation than that of TPE using phenolic resin or peroxide as curatives. Tensile strength and elongation at break increase with increasing nylon content. Scanning electron microscopy results show that rubber particles distributed at an average size of 1 μm in dynamic vulcanized EPDM/MAH-g-EPR/nylon TPE.     

Thermogravimetric and wide angle X-ray diffraction analysis of thermoplastic elastomers from nylon copolymer and EPDM rubber

Nylon copolymer (PA6, 66) and ethylene propylene diene (EPDM) blends with and without compatibilizer were prepared by melt mixing using Brabender Plasticorder. The thermal stability of nylon copolymer (PA6, 66)/ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) blends was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The morphology of the blends was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In this work, the effects of blend ratio and compatibilisation on thermal stability and crystallinity were investigated. The incorporation of EPDM rubber was found to improve the thermal stability of nylon copolymer. The kinetic parameters of the degradation process were also studied. A good correlation was observed between the thermal properties and phase morphology of the blends. By applying Coats and Redfern method, the activation energies of various blends were derived from the Thermogravimetric curves. The compatibilization of the blends using EPM-g-MA has increased the degradation temperature and decreased the weight loss. EPM-g-MA is an effective compatibilizer as it increases the decomposition temperature and thermal stability of the blends. Crystallinity of various systems has been studied using wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). The addition of EPDM decreases the crystallinity of the blend systems.     

Effect of Ionizing Radiation on the Characteristics of EPDM/UHMW-PE Composites

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) fibers were used in a chopped form and at different concentrations as a reinforcing material in ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymers (EPDM). The effect of radiation dose and fiber concentration on the mechanical properties of the vulcanized rubber composites obtained was measured. It was found that γ-irradiation improves the interfacial adhesion between UHMW-PE fiber (Spectra 1000) and EPDM matrix which was detected by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, the Young modulus of the composites increases as the irradiation dose increases. Increasing the concentration of the fibers up to 40 phr leads to an enhancement in mechanical properties and swelling resistance of obtained composites, especially in the absence of carbon black. The absolute value of the modulus increased by a factor of at least two with the addition of carbon black. Moreover the tear strength of reinforced and filled EPDM was improved with respect to reinforced rubber. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Curing Characteristics and Tear Properties of Bentonite Filled Ethylene Propylene Diene (EPDM) Rubber Composites

The effect of bentonite clay loading on curing characteristics and tear strength of bentonite filled ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) composite were studied. Compounding was carried out on two-roll mill and vulcanization was done at 150⁰C. Torque values, scorch time and optimum cure time of the prepared rubber compound were assessed by using Mosanto Disc Rheometer (MDR 2000). Results indicated that the maximum torque of EPDM/Bt composite decreases at high bentonite loading. Increasing in values with increasing bentonite loading was recorded for minimum torque and optimum cure time of EPDM/Bt composite. The increase is related with the increase in viscosity due to the increasing of bentonite clay loading in EPDM matrix. Scorch time was found to be decreasing up to 30 phr bentonite clay. Results also show that tear strength of EPDM/Bt composite increased with increasing bentonite loading up to 90 phr. The reason is probably due to agglomeration occur causes the reduction in properties at high loading above 90 phr bentonite clay. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of tear fracture surface of EPDM/Bt composite illustrated that with increasing bentonite loading up to 90 phr bentonite clay, a better dispersion of bentonite clay is achieved as compared to lower loading, resulting in high tear strength value for EPDM/Bt composite.     

共混过程中EPDM/PP共混热塑弹性体的结构、形态和性能的变化

用SEM,TEM,DSC,WAXD和有效网链密度(v_e)测定,研究了共混时间长短和返炼对EPDM/PP共混物结构和性能的影响。两相分散随共混时间和返炼而更趋均匀。随共混时间,PP结晶度(x_c)先行降低然后升高,抗张强度正相反,v_e则降低x_e和v_e返炼后总是较一次共混降低。影响强度的因素主要是两相分散均匀和两相界面的相互渗透。

Structural characteristics of some high density polyethylene/EPDM blends

Blends of ethylene propylene diene terpolymer rubber (EPDM) with high density polyethylene were obtained by melt mixing. Mechanical properties of the composites, tensile strength, hardness, resilience, elongation at break, 100% modulus and tear strength were determined. Differential scanning calorimetry and wide angle x-ray diffraction were employed to study melting behavior and crystalline structure. The surface properties were analyzed using contact angle determinations. Also, compatibilization with PE-g-MA or dynamical vulcanization using phenolic resins was applied to obtain improved mechanical properties. It was found that the crystalline structure of HDPE was not changed during blending. The vulcanized composite presents a lower degree of crystallinity. Elongation at break and hardness were significantly increased for composites containing compatibilizing agent. The morphology of EPDM composites was studied by atomic force microscopy.

环氧化三元乙丙橡胶增韧聚对苯二甲酸丁二酯的脆韧转变

环氧化的三元乙丙橡胶(eEPDM)与聚对苯二甲酸丁二酯(PBT)共混可以使PBT共混体的缺口冲击强度获得很大的提高.当eEPDM橡胶浓度为24wt%时,PBTeEPDM共混体的缺口冲击强度是纯PBT的12倍.随着eEPDM含量的增加,在室温下PBTeEPDM共混体出现了明显的脆韧转变,其脆韧转变的临界粒子间距为0.49μm.橡胶的加入及含量的增加使PBT体系的脆韧转变温度(TBD)向低温移动,且PBTuEPDM与PBTeEPDM共混体脆韧转变温度的差随橡胶含量的增加而逐渐增大.扫描电镜照片表明,在橡胶组成相同的情况下,PBT基体中分散的eEPDM粒子明显小于未环氧化的EPDM粒子.且eEPDM橡胶的粒子间距(ID)也明显地低于uEPDM橡胶粒子的ID,这导致PBTeEPDM共混体系在室温下出现脆韧转变.     

Property correlations for composites based on ethylene propylene diene rubber reinforced with flax fibers

EPDM composites filled with short flax fibers were prepared by melt blending procedure. The effects of fiber loading on the mechanical, thermal and water uptake characteristics were studied. The physico-mechanical, morphological thermal properties and water absorption behavior were discussed using tensile testing, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetrical analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the flax fibers were well dispersed in the polymer matrix. The tensile strength and hardness of the composites were found to be improved at higher fiber loading. The water absorption pattern of EPDM/fiber composites at room temperature follows a Fickian behavior for composites with 10, 15 and 20 phr flax fiber.
