通过探讨半水硫酸钙晶须(HCSW)贮存过程在空气中形貌和晶形的变化,研究了半水硫酸钙晶须的水化机理,分析了不同处理方法对其稳定性的调节。研究发现,HCSW的水化是由晶须表面的-OH基团和Ca^2+活性位点以及HCSW存在的内部通道引起的,煅烧和二元醇改性均可提高硫酸钙晶须的耐水性。结果表明,煅烧后,半水硫酸钙晶须转化为无水可溶硫酸钙晶须和无水死烧硫酸钙晶须,易于水化的内部通道消失,耐水性增强;水热合成过程二元醇的加入,可利于醇羟基吸附在HCSW的(200)、(020)和(220)表面,阻止H2O分子中羟基在晶须表面的吸附,进而提高晶须的耐水性,当添加剂为三乙二醇(TEG)且浓度为18.8 mmol·L^-1时,HSCW在空气中耐水稳定性不小于7 d。     

The improvement of thermal stability and adhesion of silicone rubber composites modified by phenolic epoxy resin

The phenolic epoxy resin (F51) was siliconized by KH550 and the product was named as FKS. A hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HTPDMS) which was modified with FKS was prepared. The siliconization reaction ensured a segment of siloxane on the side chain of F51. FT-IR and ¹H-NMR were employed to confirm the chemical structure of FKS. Morphology observations revealed that the enhancement of mechanical properties of the silicone rubber systems can be attributed to good compatibility between FKS and silicone rubber matrix. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the residual yield at 800?°C of silicone rubber composites increased significantly when compared with that of neat HTPDMS. The mechanical properties demonstrated that tensile strength and elongation at break of silicone rubber system increased distinctly after modification, especially when 30 phr siliconized F51 were added to the silicone rubber. Shear strength was improved gradually with the addition of FKS. These above observations emphasize the vital effect of FKS on the behavior of modified HTPDMS.     

Preparation and characterization of polypropylene and waste tire powder modified by allylamine blends

Waste tire powder subjected to allylamine modification in the presence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been used to prepare polypropylene based thermoplastic vulcanizates with maleic anhydride polypropylene (MA‐PP) as compatibilizer. The effect of increasing the concentration of MA‐PP on performance characteristics like tensile strength, elongation and rheological properties have been investigated. X‐ray diffraction studies of the PP/waste tire powder blend indicate the disappearance of β crystalline peaks on addition of waste tire powder in the PP, whereas it is observed in the allylamine modified rubber powder loaded PP. Differential scanning calorimetry results further supported the above fact. The improvement in mechanical properties of the PP/allylamine modified rubber powder loaded thermoplastic vulcanizates has been explained in terms of βα transformation of PP crystals during straining of the samples and uniform dispersion of allylamine coated rubber powder in the PP matrix. The melt rheological properties of the thermoplastic vulcanizates loaded with modified rubber powder are higher than its counterpart due to the higher dispersion as a result of chemical interaction between the rubber powder surface with the MA‐PP.

In vitro drug release from silicone rubber–polyacrylamide composite

Composite materials containing drugs were prepared from silicone rubber and hydrogel. Cross linked polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogel particles were incorporated into a silicone rubber to enhance the hydrophilicity and drug release capacity of silicone rubber as a matrix. Progesterone and Thymol Blue were used as a hydrophobic and hydrophilic drug model, respectively. Different amounts of polyacrylamide (PAAm) were mixed with the drugs and uncured silicone rubber at room temperature. The composite matrices were formed using a compression molding press and cured by thermal and γ-irradiation curing methods. In vitro drug release behavior of composites and their physical and mechanical properties were investigated. The results indicated that the hydrophilic character of silicone rubber was more pronounced with increasing the amount of PAAm. Also, a significant effect on the drug release profiles was observed. The γ-irradiation curing method improved mechanical properties of composites and affected the drug release profiles. It was found that the amounts of released progesterone from γ-irradiated samples increased in comparison with the thermally cross linked composite since released Thymol Blue was reduced.     

Effects of functional graphene oxide on the properties of phenyl silicone rubber composites

Graphene oxide (GO) was treated with two types of surfactants, i.e., silane coupling agent (KH550) and 4,4’-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), incorporated into phenyl silicone rubber at a low concentration (≤0.2 wt%), and cured by the room temperature vulcanized method. The effects of functional graphene oxide on the dielectric behaviour, thermal conductivity, optical transmittance and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The results showed that the particle size changed after modification and that the modified GO dispersed well in the phenyl silicone rubber. The composites with MDI modified GO exhibited better electrical insulation and lower light loss in the ultraviolet–visible region than the composites with KH550 modified GO. However, composites filled with KH550 modified GO present better thermal conductivity.     

Binary Modification of Eucommia ulmoides Gum Toward Elastomer with Tunable Mechanical Properties and Good Compatibility

Eucommia ulmoides gum (EUG) was applied in blend rubber with a heavily limited amount because of its duality of rubber and plastic, and an efficient way of triazolinedione (TAD)‐based Alder‐ene reaction was used to improve the elastic properties of EUG. Binary modification of EUG with two TADs containing hexyl and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) groups were conducted to generate the modified EUG elastomers with tunable mechanical properties and good compatibility by varying TAD contents. When the low hexyl (1%) and POSS (0.2%) TADs incorporated, the modified EUGs displayed high tensile strength of 36.57 MPa with the elongation at break of 876%, and thus high toughness of 152.14 MJ m^?3. If high contents of hexyl (20%) and POSS (0.2%) TADs employed, the modified EUGs exhibited excellent elongation at break of 1165% and recovery rate of 60%, and especially its loss factor reached up to 0.83?0.65 at 20?70°C. Therefore, the modified EUGs containing the polar urazole and POSS groups should be a novel elastomer with good compatibility, wear resistance, and damping properties. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nanocomposites based on chloroprene rubber: Effect of chemical nature and organic modification of nanoclay on the vulcanizate properties

The effect of two chemically opposite type of nanofillers, namely montmorillonite (MMT) and layered double hydroxide (LDH), both in pristine and organically modified forms (OLDH and OMMT) on the mechanical properties and crystallization behavior of chloroprene rubber (CR) vulcanizates have been investigated. While the addition of very small amount of pristine clays shows a significant improvement of the physical properties of the CR based nanocomposites, the organic modification improves the reinforcing efficiency of MMT more than that of LDH. MMT is found to enhance the crystallization tendency of CR chains, whereas LDH has a role to resist it as observed from the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The DMA results also show that the presence small amount of nanoclay enhances the storage modulus of CR based vulcanizates, which becomes more pronounced in case of organically modified clays, especially with OMMT. Finally, we report the ‘house of cards’ structure of exfoliated platelets of montmorillonite in the CR matrix which are produced by mechanical shear mixing.

An investigation of dynamic mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of housing materials for outdoor polymeric insulators

The present paper reports the results about a study of mechanical, thermal, dynamic mechanical and electrical properties of housing (weather shed) materials for outdoor polymeric insulators. Silicone rubber, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) and alloys of silicon-EPDM are known polymers for use as housing in high voltage insulators. The result of dynamical mechanical measurement shows that the storage modulus of blends enhances with increase EPDM in formulation. It can be seen from the result of TGA measurement that initial thermal degradation of silicone rubber improves by the effect of EPDM in blends. The blends of silicone-EPDM show good breakdown voltage strength compared to silicone rubber. Surface and volume resistance of silicone rubber improve by EPDM content. The mechanical properties of EPDM such as strength, modulus and elongation at break improve by silicone.     

New Trends for Utilization of Rubber Wastes

Summary: The scrape rubber is difficult to recycle, since it is not thermoplastic material. Consequently, it must be converted into a powder. The scrape rubber powder can be reused via different ways: a- Reclamation The reclamation process was studied. This process converts the rubber powder into elastic-plastic materials. The obtained reclaims were introduced into NR formulations. The obtained data reveal that, 10–30% reclaimed rubber can replace virgin NR without scarifying the basic properties of the rubber vulcanizates. In such way we can gain cost reduction. b- Reuse as filler-extender The rubber powder was treated with some oxidizing agents and namely HNO₃ and H₂O₂ to modify its surface. The result of such treatment creates some functional groups such as carbonyl groups. The treated rubber powder was used as filler-extender in NR formulations. The treated rubber powder improves the tensile strength of the vulcanizates to some extent (62%). On the other hand, the treated powder was used in combinations with the classical reinforcing carbon black (HAF). The obtained results showed that, 20–40% of HAF can be replaced by the treated powder in NR mixes. The obtained vulcanizates have good physico-mechanical properties. In such way the production cost can be reduced. c- Utilization of sulfonated rubber powder as ion exchanger The rubber powder was sulfonated with Sulfuric and chlorosulfonic acids. The sulfonated product was evaluated as ion exchange resin to clear the industrial wastewater from heavy metals. The data showed that the Sodium salt form is more efficient ion exchanger than the acid form. d- Utilization in pavement The rubber powder is mixed with asphalt used in road pavement. The performance of asphalt concrete greatly depends on the particle size of the rubber powder used. The fine powder greatly improves the mechanical performance of the road pavement. The rubber powder was chemically modified. It was found that such modification had greatly improved the performance road pavement.     

Natural rubber composites reinforced with basic magnesium oxysulfate whiskers: Processing and ultraviolet resistance/flame retardant properties

The Magnesium sulfate whiskers (MOSw) were first modified by Stearic acid or Si69, and Natural rubber (NR)/modified-MOSw composites were prepared by blending the modified-MOSw with natural rubber latex. By adding modified-MOS_W into NR, the mechanical properties, the anti-ultraviolet aging property, flammability, and thermal stability of composites were improved obviously. The mechanical properties, crosslink density and thermal stability of composites reach the highest value at 4 wt% Si69-MOS_W. The composite with MOS_W addtion had a higher retention rate after ultraviolet irradiation and the MOS_W could improve the anti-ultraviolet aging property of rubber matrix. The modified MOS_W can effectively improve the oxygen index and the flame retardant grade of rubber composites.

Silicone‐modified graphene oxide fillers via the Piers‐Rubinsztajn reaction

While graphene or graphene oxide can make significant improvements in the properties of a wide variety of polymeric materials, their incorporation can be challenged by incompatibility with the polymeric matrix. The modification of graphene oxide with silicones or silanes using the Piers‐Rubinsztajn reaction improves dispersibility in nonpolar materials, including organic solvents and silicone pre‐elastomers. A high loading (up to 10 wt %) of modified graphene oxide in silicone elastomers could be achieved, which resulted in enhanced mechanical performance and reduced gas permeability. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Enhancement of thermal conductivity and tensile strength of liquid silicone rubber by three-dimensional alumina network

ABSTRACT

Rapidly increasing demands for higher integration density and stability of electronic devices embrace higher requirements for thermally conductive silicone rubber, which is promisingly used in ultra-thin components. In this work, alumina whiskers (AWs) and alumina flakes (AFs) are used to modify liquid silicone rubber (LSR) by fabricating binary (AFs/LSR) or ternary (AWs/AFs/LSR) composites. The thermal conductivity and mechanical strength of the binary and ternary composites were investigated. Thermal conductivity of the binary AFs/LSR composite (25AFs/LSR) was 0.1990 W m^?1 K^?1, while the thermal conductivity of the ternary AFs/AWs/LSR composite (20AFs/5AWs/LSR) was 0.2655 W m^?1 K^?1. Furthermore, the tensile strength of the ternary AWs/AFs/LSR composites increased by 180.9% as compared with the binary system, increased to 7.81 MPa from 2.78 MPa due to the introduction of 1 wt% AWs. As a reason, a significant synergistic effect of AWs and AFs in the enhancement of both thermal and mechanical properties of the LSR was proved. Furthermore, the dielectric property measurements demonstrated that the ternary composites exhibited a lower dielectric constant and dielectric loss, indicating that the AWs/AFs/LSR composites were qualified to be applied in the field of electronic devices.     

Effects of cellulose whiskers on properties of soy protein thermoplastics

Environmentally-friendly SPI/cellulose whisker composites were successfully prepared using a colloidal suspension of cellulose whiskers, to reinforce soy protein isolate (SPI) plastics. The cellulose whiskers, having an average length of 1.2 microm and diameter of 90 nm, respectively, were prepared from cotton linter pulp by hydrolyzing with sulfuric acid aqueous solution. The effects of the whisker content on the morphology and properties of the glycerol-plasticized SPI composites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, water-resistivity testing and tensile testing. The results indicated that, with the addition of 0 to 30 wt.-% of cellulose whiskers, strong interactions occurred both between the whiskers and between the filler and the SPI matrix, reinforcing the composites and preserving their biodegradability. Both the tensile strength and Young's modulus of the SPI/cellulose whisker composites increased from 5.8 to 8.1 MPa and from 44.7 to 133.2 MPa, respectively, at a relative humidity of 43%, following an increase of the whisker content from 0 to 30 wt.-%. Furthermore, the incorporation of the cellulose whiskers into the SPI matrix led to an improvement in the water resistance for the SPI-based composites.
