Study on oxidation of polymers treated by high LET radiation

The oxidation of medical silicone rubber and segmented polyether urethane which were bombarded with 11.2 MeV Si⁺ or F⁺ at the dose of 5 × 10¹⁴ ions/cm² was studied. In XPS measurements, it was found that the oxygen concentration on the surface of the implanted polymeric membranes had been increasing in three months at least. ESR measurement showed that some free radicals existed in these membranes and their quantities decreased with time. Chemical analysis proved that peroxides were generated in the γ irradiated membranes. The reason for the increasing of oxygen concentration was that free radicals combined with oxygen in the air and produced peroxides on the membrane surface. Moreover, in order to demonstrate the radiation mechanism, low LET (γ rays) radiation of such polymeric membranes was carried out for comparison     

A comparison between the SBR vulcanizates reinforced by magnesium methacrylate added directly or prepared in situ

The styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) cured by dicumyl peroxide was reinforced by magnesium methacrylate [Mg(MAA)₂], which was added into SBR directly or prepared in situ in SBR through the neutralization of magnesium oxide (MgO) and methacrylic acid (MAA). The experimental results show that the SBR vulcanizates reinforced by Mg(MAA)₂ prepared in situ have better mechanical properties than those reinforced by Mg(MAA)₂ added directly. The SBR vulcanizates with Mg(MAA)₂ prepared in situ are semi-transparent, but those with Mg(MAA)₂ added directly are opaque. The Fourier transform infrared analysis shows that the polymerization conversion of Mg(MAA)₂ in the SBR vulcanizates with Mg(MAA)₂ prepared in situ is much higher than that in the SBR vulcanizates with Mg(MAA)₂ added directly. The scan probe microscopy photographs show that the particles in the SBR vulcanizates with Mg(MAA)₂ prepared in situ are much finer and disperse more evenly than that in the SBR vulcanizates with Mg(MAA)₂ added directly.

Instantaneous strain recovery elasticity and endothermic heat change in nylon-6 monofilaments and silicone rubbers

The instantaneous elastic moduli for a nylon-6 monofilament were derived on strain recoveries right after creep, stress relaxation, and rapid elongation,E _c ,E _s andE _e , respectively. It was found that during strain recoveryE _s (>E _e ) andE _e increase monotonically with increasing load,m ₁, on the sample. The extrapolated value of E_s atm ₁=0 g is almost equal to Young's modulus, 4.06 GPa. The value ofE _c also increased with increasingm ₁, and atm ₁=600 g (1.93 t cm^–2) reached about 14 GPa. The endothermic heat change right after creep, stress relaxation or rapid elongation,Q, was negligibly small. For comparison,E _s ,E _c andQ were also investigated for silicone rubber. It was found thatE _s (53.8 M Pa at the draw ratioD=1.2) decreased abruptly atD=1.3. In the range ofD=1.4–1.9,E _s was only 22.6 MPa. In the case of stress relaxation,Q increased with increasingD from 4 J mol^–1 (atD=1.2) to 56 J mol^–1 (atD=1.9). FurthermoreE _c (5.58 MPa atm ₁=133.8 g (429.4 kg cm^–2)) increased gradually with increasing m₁ and attained 16.6 MPa atm ₁=548.4 g (1.76 t cm^–2). In the case of creep,Q was in the range of 0–11.5 J mol^–1 and larger when larger loads,m ₂ were removed during the later stages of creep.Dedicated to Professor Bernhard Wunderlich on the occasion of his 65th birthdayThe author wishes to thank Mr. Keizi Igarashi and Mr. Tetsuya Yasui for helping in the experiments.

Thermal behaviour of styrene butadiene rubber/poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) blends

The thermal behaviour of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)/poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) blends was studied by using thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effects of blend ratio, cross-linking systems and compatibilization on the thermal stability and phase transition of the blends were analyzed. It was found that the mass loss of the blends at any temperature was lower than that of the components, highlighting the advantage of blending SBR and EVA. The addition of compatibilizer was also found to improve the thermal stability. DSC studies indicated the thermodynamic immiscibility of SBR/EVA system even in the presence of the compatibilizer. This is evident from the presence of two different glass transition temperatures, corresponding to SBR and EVA phases in both compatibilized and uncompatibilized blends.
