Polymeric foam with lightweight and higher impact strength has been used in many fields due to cost reduction and higher toughness. However, it is often difficult to improve their mechanical property especially tear strength. Here, a double foaming system was designed to increase the tear strength of the foamed ethylene–propylene–diene monomer, styrene–butadiene rubber, and thermoplastic rubber (EPDM/SBR/TPR) materials. The cell size of EPDM/SBR/TPR foam and cell distribution were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, which showed that the cells present a bimodal structure. Besides, the tear strength can reach up to 10 N/mm when the density is about 0.40 g/cm3, which is much superior to those of most engineering plastic foams. Meanwhile, the crystallization property of EPDM/SBR/TPR foams was also demonstrated by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry, which indicates that the double foaming system can reduce the crystallization of EPDM/SBR/TPR molecular chains. In addition, the variation of thermal conductivity values depends on the gradual decrease effect of the cell size.

ABSTRACT The compatibility between solution polymerized styrene–butadiene rubber (SSBR 2466) and natural rubber (NR) is characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The single glass transition in the entire temperature range of all NR/SSBR blends and good correlation between Tg and SSBR fraction prove the excellent compatibility between SSBR 2466 and NR. With increasing SSBR content, a reduced Payne effect, more homogeneous dispersion of silica, stronger rubber–filler interaction, and more silica selectively distributed in the SSBR phase were determined via rubber-processing analysis, transmission electron microscopy, bound rubber, and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. The high vinyl content, low styrene content, and end-functionalized structure of SSBR play vital roles in promoting its compatibility with NR and a stronger rubber–silica linkage. The resulting increased tan δ at 0 °C and low tan δ at 60 °C indicates good wet-skid resistance and low rolling resistance by blending SSBR 2466, and 70/30 NR/SSBR is the best balance for producing a “green tire” tread.

The market for commercial polymer blends has grown steadily. A good blend should have strong interphases between different parts of the constituted polymers. Lack of strong interphases is a classical problem of the blend industry. Ethylene-propylene-diene monomer rubber (EPDM)/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) blends have a very good aging resistance and good compression sets. However, these rubbers are partially miscible. To improve the miscibility of EPDM and SBR in their blends, a Lewis acid, AlCl3, was used to form EPDM–g–SBR copolymer through Friedel–Crafts reactions. The existence of covalent bonds between EPDM and SBR macromolecules was studied by the cure traces of the blends, that is, ΔTorque, Fourier transform infrared spectrums, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) heat flow curves, thermogravimetric analysis curves, and scanning electron (SEM) micrographs. Subsequently, several blends with EPDM/SBR ratio of 40/60 and with various AlCl3 amounts were prepared and after curing, their mechanical properties were measured and compared. The results showed covalent bonds formed between SBR–EPDM and SBR–SBR macromolecules. An exothermic change in heat flow in the DSC curve was observed around 111.28°C, which can be attributed to the formation of carbocations in Friedel–Crafts reactions. Adding 2 phr AlCl3 had an efficient effect on EPDM–SBR and or SBR–SBR linkages. The mechanical properties of the cured blends, that is, tensile strength were lower when compared with corresponding values for prepared compound with SBR. Excellent compatibility between the two polymers and strong interphases were observed in SEM micrograph of the cured blend with 1 phr AlCl3.

AbstractMesoporous silica is used as filler for styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR); filler-polymer interactions are compared with those exhibited when Ultrasil silica (VN3) is used. A silane coupling agent is added to improve filler dispersion and its influence on the bound-rubber formation is also investigated. The bound-rubber content is higher for the mesoporous silica and increases further for the sample containing silane. The increase is explained by chemical interactions between filler and rubber and penetration of the rubber chains into the mesopores. This is confirmed by 13C solid-state NMR, IR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis shows higher storage modulus for the rubber filled with mesoporous silica.

In this research, the effect of adding a virgin Styrene Butadiene rubber (SBR) on the morphology and properties of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) waste plastic has been investigated. The blends were prepared by melting method and characterized by means of mechanical testing, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Thermogravimatric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The obtained results indicated that virgin SBR phase dispersed efficiently, effectively in the ABS matrix and impact strength along with thermal resistance of the blends significantly improved. Thus, investigated results in this work will open promising approach for recycling ABS waste plastic.
