The development of a procedure for assessing the effective deformation properties of filled, hyperelastic polymer composites (chiefly, rubber compounds) is presented. The rigid interphase contact layer is taken into account in the model of the elastomer composite. The filled elastomer can be regarded as a three-component system consisting of: filler particles (of different size); an interphase layer, which can be regarded as part of the modified matrix; the ‘pure’ matrix. In this first part of this study, the general organisation of the investigation is described, a model of the filled elastomer composite is formulated, and the problem of identifying the properties of the hyperelastic matrix is solved on the basis of a potential taking into account the non-linear effects of change in the rigidity of the polymeric material under elongation. The possibility of using the developed procedure to describe the deformation properties of the unfilled vulcanisate of styrene butadiene rubber, i.e. the ‘pure’ matrix, is also shown. The calculated deformation curve coincides completely with the experimental curve when the developed method is used to determine the coefficients of the equations.

The work is devoted to the study of nanocomposites based on synthetic (styrene-butadiene) rubber with different fillers not previously used. The issue of using composites with alternative fillers is being investigated. The results of experimental testing and analysis of thermo-visco-elastic behav-ior of styrene-butadiene rubbers filled by various mineral particles of micro and nanosize, as well as pyrolysis products of organic food waste, are presented. The filled elastomers discussed in this work are mainly used in the tire industry to improve the performance of tires. All samples were tested on a dynamo-mechanical analyzer (DMA). Temperature and frequency dependences of the dynamic modulus and loss modulus are plotted for each of the composites. The frequency charac-teristics corresponded to the real range of rotation speeds of the car wheel, and the temperature var-ied from –50 to +50ºC. A comparative analysis of the results obtained was carried out. The struc-tural mechanisms of the filler are not investigated. It is assumed that the principles of operation of the investigated fillers at the structural level are similar to those described in many works for clas-sical fillers. Based on the test results a conclusion about the preferable operating conditions for the considered materials was made.

Because of the chemically crosslinked 3D molecular structure of rubbers, their recycling is a challenging task, especially when cost efficiency is also considered. One of the most straightforward procedures is the grinding of discarded rubber products with subsequent devulcanization. The devulcanized rubber can be used as a feedstock for fresh rubber compounds or can be blended with uncured virgin rubber and thermoplastic polymers to form thermoplastic dynamic vulcanizates (TDVs). TDVs combine the beneficial (re)processability of thermoplastics and the elastic properties of rubbers. Our current work focuses on the development of polypropylene (PP)-based TDVs with the use of a tire model rubber (MR) composed of natural rubber (NR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) in a ratio of 70/30. The research target was the partial substitution of the above fresh MR by microwave devulcanized crumb rubber (dCR). TDVs were produced by continuous extrusion, and the effects of composition (PP/MR/dCR = 40/60/0…50/35/15) and processing parameters (different screw configurations, temperature profiles, the feeding method of PP) were investigated. Results showed that the fresh rubber compound can be replaced up to 10 wt % without compromising the mechanical properties of the resulting TDV.

Organic zinc salts and complexes were applied as activators for sulfur vulcanization of styrene–butadiene elastomer (SBR) in order to reduce the content of zinc ions in rubber compounds as compared with conventionally used zinc oxide. In this article, the effects of different organic zinc activators on the curing characteristics, crosslink densities, and mechanical properties of SBR as well as the aging resistance and thermal behavior of vulcanizates are discussed. Organic zinc salts seem to be good substitutes for zinc oxide as activators for sulfur vulcanization of SBR rubber, without detrimental effects to the vulcanization time and temperature. Moreover, vulcanizates containing organic zinc salts exhibit higher tensile strength and better damping properties than vulcanizate crosslinked with zinc oxide. The application of organic zinc activators allows the amount of zinc ions in SBR compounds to be reduced by 70–90 wt % compared to vulcanizate with zinc oxide. This is very important for ecological reasons, since zinc oxide is classified as being toxic to aquatic species.

AbstractThe study was focused on the investigation of trans-polyoctylene (TOR) influence on cross-linking as well as mechanical and rheological properties of rubber compounds based on styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). SBR was compounded with different proportions of TOR in the concentration range from 0 to 30 phr. Integration of TOR into rubber leads to the prolongation of the optimum curing time and scorch time and thus the decrease of the curing rate. Higher content of TOR led to less viscous rubber due to the plasticizing effect. Cross-link density of vulcanizates was reduced, which correlates with higher elongation at break. Tensile strength and hardness of vulcanizates increased with the increasing TOR content, probably due to the increasing amount of the crystalline phase.
