Influence of Loading Method of Silane Coupling Agent on The Mechanical Properties of Silica Particle-Filled Styrene-Butadiene Rubber and Analysis of Interfacial Layer Using Pulse NMR: Comparison of Pre-Treatment and Integral Blend Methods

Mullite (3A12O3·2SiO2) is an aluminosilicate ceramic of great technological importance. We investigated its potential as fillers in rubber. Mullites untreated or treated with 3% γ-mecapto-propyltrimethoxysilane (A-189) were added into styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) materials on a laboratory-sized two-roll mill. For comparison, commercial precipitated silica was also used. The effect of these fillers on the cure characteristics, processibility and mechanical properties of SBR at various loadings, ranging from 0 to 50 phr was investigated. The results showed that mullite was a semi-reinforcing filler for SBR materials and exhibits better overall cure properties, lower Mooney viscosity, lower tensile set, better resilience as compared to precipitated silica, while it is inferior to precipitated silica especially with regard to tensile strength, tear strength and abrasion resistance. The presence of the silane coupling agent can enhance mechanical properties of filled SBR vulcanizates to some extent.

The mechanical properties of γ-irradiated ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)/high styrene-butadiene rubber (HSBR) blends were investigated with special reference to the effects of blend ratio. Among the blends, the one with 80/20 EPDM/HSBR has been found to exhibit the highest tensile, hardness, thermal, and abrasion properties. The effect of γ-irradiation dose on the mechanical properties namely tensile strength and elongation at break was investigated. The effect of silane coupling agent on the mentioned properties of the EPDM/HSBR blend was studied. The results showed that the mechanical and the thermal properties of the γ-irradiated EPDM/HSBR blend improved with the addition of the silane coupling agent due to the increase in the cross-linking density. The inclusion of both the 30 phr fumed silica and N, N- m-phenylenedimaleimide coagent in the 80/20 EPDM/HSBR nanocomposite irradiated to 150 kGy leads to a synergistic effect. Thermogravimetric analysis was carried out to analyze the thermal stability of the nanocomposites. The mechanical properties have been interpreted in terms of the morphology of the blends as attested by scanning electron microscope.

Abstract In the current research, investigation of natural rubber (NR)/styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) reinforced with carbon black (CB)/silica (Si) and with and without silane coupling agent (Si69) was analyzed. The total hybrid filler (CB/Si) concentration in the composite was fixed at 50 phr. Cure characteristics, mechanical properties and surface morphology were examined. The addition of a silane coupling agent improves the mechanical properties of NR/SBR rubber composites reinforced with CB/Si hybrid fillers. Compared with NR/SBR composites with Si69, addition of 0/50 CB/Si resulted in 53% decrease of tensile strength and 81% increase of elongation at break, superior to that of NR/SBR composites without Si69. When Si69 was used as a binding agent, the scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the tensile fractured surface clearly shows the better dispersion of hybrid fillers in the NR/SBR matrix.
