PBD/PDMS共混物分散相的聚并捕获行为

借助显微-剪切装置在线研究了低速剪切场下SiO2纳米粒子含量、分散相聚丁二烯(PBD)浓度和剪切速率对PBD/聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)不相容体系中聚并捕获行为的影响.结果表明,聚并捕获所形成的液滴尺寸与形状规整度由粒子含量、分散相浓度和剪切速率等因素共同决定.在较低的SiO2纳米粒子含量或较高的分散相浓度下,PBD液滴在低剪切场下发生聚并捕获,形成尺寸较大、形状不规则的液滴.增加SiO2纳米粒子含量或减小分散相浓度,能够减小分散相的尺寸并提高分散相的规整度.增加剪切速率能有效地减小分散相的尺寸并提高分散相的规整度.

Studies on droplet size distributions during coalescence in immiscible polymer blends filled with silica nanoparticles

The effect of silica nanoparticles on the morphology of （10/90 wt%） PDMS/PBD blends during the shear induced coalescence of droplets of the minor phase at low shear rate was investigated systematically in situ by using an optical shear technique. Two blending procedures were used： silica nanoparticles were introduced to the blends by pre-blending silica particles first in PDMS dispersed phase （procedure 1） or in PBD matrix phase （procedure 2）. Bimodal or unimodal droplet size distributions were observed for the filled blends during coalescence, which depend not so much on the surface characteristics of silica but mainly on blending procedure. For pure （10/90 wt%） PDMS/PBD blend, the droplet size distribution exhibits bimodality during the early coalescence. When silica nanoparticles （hydrophobic and hydrophilic） were added to the blends with procedure l, bimodal droplet size distributions disappear and unimodal droplet size distributions can be maintained during coalescence; the shape of the different peaks is invariably Gaussian. Simultaneously, coalescence of the PDMS droplets was suppressed efficiently by the silica nanoparticles. It was proposed that with this blending procedure the nanoparticles should be mainly kinetically trapped at the interface or in the PDMS dispersed phase, which provides an efficient steric barrier against coalescence of the PDMS dispersed phase. However, bimodal droplet size distributions in the early stage of coalescence still occur when incorporating silica nanoparticles into the blends with procedure 2, and then coalescence of the PDMS droplets cannot be suppressed efficiently by the silica nanoparticles. It was proposed that with this blending protocol the nanoparticles should be mainly located in the PBD matrix phase, which leads to an inefficient steric barrier against coalescence of the PDMS dispersed phase; thus the morphology evolution in these filled blends is similar to that in pure blend and bimodal droplet size distributions can be observed during the early coalescence. These results imply that exploiting non-equilibrium processes by varying preparation protocol may provide an elegant route to regulate the temporal morphology of the filled blends during coalescence.

炭黑在异戊橡胶中的分散及其对动静态性能的影响北大核心CSCD

橡胶在使用时往往需要在生胶中加入填料颗粒以提高其力学强度,填料在橡胶中的分散状态对其使用性能有显著影响。为了明晰填料分散状态对橡胶动静态性能的影响规律,设计了不同的胶料混炼工艺,进而获得具有不同分散程度的橡胶材料,并对其分散等级、颗粒聚集体尺寸分布、胶料硫化性质、橡胶拉伸以及疲劳等性质进行了系统研究。结果表明,在所研究的密炼时间4~16 min范围内,随着密炼时间的延长,填料在基体中的分散度等级有较大程度的提高,密炼时间为16 min时填料分散等级达到了8.1级,胶料的门尼粘度下降显著,但胶料的拉伸性能变化不明显,而动态疲劳性能得以显著改善。随着开炼包辊时间的延长,填料在基体中的分散度等级呈先升高后降低的趋势,橡胶的动态疲劳性能也先升高后降低,当开炼包辊时间为20 min时,硫化胶的伸张疲劳寿命达到4×10~4次,继续延长包辊时间硫化胶的伸张疲劳寿命下降至2.3×10~4次;但是胶料整体的拉伸性能变化不明显。由此可见,通过调整混炼工艺可以改善填料在橡胶基体中的分散状态,进而提高胶料的疲劳性能。     

Formation of Network by Carbon Black，Silica and Their Mixing Fillers in Isoprene Rubber北大核心CSCD

The network formed by fillers has great influence on the mechanical properties of rubber materials. To understand the formation of network by carbon black,silica,and carbon black/silica mixing fillers in rubber and its influence on the properties of rubber,isoprene rubber/filler composites with different filler loadings are prepared and their micromorphology,rheological and tensile properties are investigated. It is found that the dispersion of fillers is better in rubber after cure than that in rubber before cure for all three rubber systems,and the filler size of silica is smaller than that of carbon black,but the aggregation is more severe in silica filled rubber system. In mixed filler system,the two fillers tend to aggregate separately, leading to the low modulus at small strain than that in single filler system. With the increase of the filler loading,the tensile strength increases first and then decreases,the elongation at break decreases,and the temperature rise in compression flexometer tests increases. Moreover,the temperature rise in mixed filler system is higher than that in single filler system at high filler loading. © 2022, Science Press (China). All rights reserved.

The effect of particle shape on the structure and rheological properties of carbon-based particle suspensions

The structure and rheological properties of carbon-based particle suspensions, i.e., carbon black(CB), multi-wall carbon nanotube(MWNT), graphene and hollow carbon sphere(HCS) suspended in polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS), are investigated. In order to study the effect of particle shape on the structure and rheological properties of suspensions, the content of surface oxygen-containing functional groups of carbon-based particles is controlled to be similar. Original spherical-like CB(fractal filler), rod-like MWNT and sheet-like graphene form large agglomerates in PDMS, while spherical HCS particles disperse relatively well in PDMS. The dispersion state of carbon-based particles affects the critical concentration of forming a rheological percolation network. Under weak shear, negative normal stress differences(ΔN) are observed in CB, MWNT and graphene suspensions, while ΔN is nearly zero for HCS suspensions. It is concluded that the vorticity alignment of CB, MWNT and graphene agglomerates under shear results in the negative ΔN. However, no obvious structural change is observed in HCS suspension under weak shear, and accordingly, the ΔN is almost zero.
