Abstract The focus of this research was to investigate the effect of thermal degradation upon the mechanical properties of a natural rubber compound. We examined both the quasi-static and dynamic mechanical properties of a natural rubber vulcanizate which had been subjected to isothermal, anaerobic aging. The thermal aging was conducted between the temperatures of 80 °C and 120 °C for times ranging from 3 to 24 days. The effect of thermal degradation was measured using the changes in the crosslink distribution of the vulcanizates as functions of time at temperature. A master curve relationship between the crosslink distribution of the vulcanizates due to thermal degradation and the static and dynamic mechanical properties has been developed. It was found that the both the quasi-static and dynamic mechanical properties correlated with the percentage of poly and monosulfidic crosslinks, where in general higher levels of polysulfidic crosslink gave rise to the highest mechanical properties.

This work reports on the effect of expandable graphite (EG) on the morphology, thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of flame retardant poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/EG composites. The composites were prepared by melt-mixing and their structure, morphology, melting and crystallization behaviour, as well as their dynamic mechanical properties, were investigated. It was found that graphite layers still existed in an aggregate structure with poor filler dispersion resulting in a lack of interfacial adhesion between EG and the PLA matrix. The presence of EG did not favour the crystallization of PLA, increased the glass transition temperature and showed a reduction in the crystallinity of the composites. The composites with higher filler contents showed enhanced storage and loss moduli. The glass transition temperatures from the loss modulus and damping factor curves varied inconsistently with EG content. The use of commercial EG as filler in PLA can preserve the thermal properties of injection moulding grade Cereplast PLA.

The capability of layered double hydroxide has been explored as a potential flame retardant filler and the effect of the mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical properties, and thermal stability of the composites was also studied.
