Structure-propery relationship of low molecular weight ‘liquid’ polymers in blends of sulfur cured SSBR-rich compounds

In recent years, many patents have been published that are claiming the use of low molecular weight ‘liquid’ polymers in tire tread applications. Herein, tire producers generally introduce improved balances of the tire performances such as wet grip, abrasion resistance and rolling resistance. To understand the influence of the low molecular weight ‘liquid’ polymers in detail, an investigation was carried out to create more clarity about the influence of the structure of these polymers on in-rubber properties and about their interaction with the base polymers and fillers. One basic formulation was selected: A silica filled compound with styrene butadiene copolymer (SSBR), polybutadiene (BR) and natural rubber (NR) that is representing a winter tire tread formulation. Different structures of the low molecular weight ‘liquid’ polymer were added to this compound and compared. Results are discussed for the curing torques and crosslink densities to evaluate the influence on the crosslinking. Payne effect and bound rubber content was measured to evaluate the filler-filler interactions and filler-polymer interactions, respectively. The mechanical properties and dynamic mechanical analysis results deliver finally indications for the expected tire performance.     

Phthalonitrile Resins Derived from Vanillin: Synthesis,Curing Behavior,and Thermal Properties

Vanillin was used as sustainable source for phthalonitrile monomer synthesis, and allyl/propargyl ether moieties were introduced to improve the processability at the minimal cost of thermal properties. The synthesis route was optimized to minimize side-reactions and simplify post-processing, and the monomers were obtained in high purity and good yields. The curing behavior, mechanism, and processability of the monomers were studied, and the thermal properties of cured polymers were evaluated. Of the two monomers, the allyl ether-containing one exhibited a wide processing window of 185 °C, and was mainly cured into phthalocyanine and linear aliphatic structures through self-catalytic curing process. Also, the glass transition temperature was higher than 500 °C. In contrast, the propargyl ether-containing monomer could only be partially cured, and heat resistance was found to be compromised. Compared with traditional petroleum-based phthalonitrile resins, the biobased monomers could be cured without the addition of catalysts, and improvement in processability was achieved at no cost of thermal performances.

Modelling the curing process in magneto-sensitive polymers: Rate-dependence and shrinkage

This paper deals with a phenomenologically motivated magneto-viscoelastic coupled finite strain framework for simulating the curing process of polymers under the application of a coupled magneto-mechanical load. Magneto-sensitive polymers are prepared by mixing micron-sized ferromagnetic particles in uncured polymers. Application of a magnetic field during the curing process causes the particles to align and form chain-like structures lending an overall anisotropy to the material. The polymer curing is a viscoelastic complex process where a transformation from fluid to solid occurs in the course of time. During curing, volume shrinkage also occurs due to the packing of polymer chains by chemical reactions. Such reactions impart a continuous change of magneto-mechanical properties that can be modelled by an appropriate constitutive relation where the temporal evolution of material parameters is considered. To model the shrinkage during curing, a magnetic-induction-dependent approach is proposed which is based on a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into a mechanical and a magnetic-induction-dependent volume shrinkage part. The proposed model obeys the relevant laws of thermodynamics. Numerical examples, based on a generalised Mooney–Rivlin energy function, are presented to demonstrate the model capacity in the case of a magneto-viscoelastically coupled load.     

梯度固化聚氨酯脲中氢键的红外光谱分析

聚氨酯脲弹性体中的氢键可以反映其内部的微相分离状态,并对材料的宏观性能有着比较重要的影响。 通过梯度固化的方法制得了微相分离程度沿厚度方向梯度渐变的聚氨酯脲弹性体。 利用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)研究了梯度聚氨酯脲弹性体中的氢键,分析了羰基、亚氨基以及醚氧键的氢键,对弹性体的微相分离程度进行了表征。 结果表明,羰基区的氢键化程度随固化温度的升高而升高,表明微相分离程度的逐渐升高。 醚氧键氢键化程度随固化温度改变有差异,亚氨基的氢键化程度在交联较低的试样中随固化温度的升高而升高,在交联程度较高的试样中则相反。 脲羰基形成的三维氢键的强度比醚氧键形成的氢键强。 氢键化醚氧键的振动吸收大约位于1 076 cm-1。
