Poly(ethylene- co-vinyl acetate- co-carbon monoxide) (EVACO)/halloysite nanotube (HNT) nanocomposite films were solution cast. Dispersion of HNTs in the matrix was analyzed by elemental mapping and the role of HNTs on crystallizability, flammability and thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties of the polymer was evaluated. The nature of interaction between the EVACO matrix and HNTs was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The highest tensile strength was observed for the composite with 1% filler loading, whereas the highest crystallinity was observed for that with 3% filler loading. The decay in the tensile properties at higher filler loading was due to agglomeration of HNTs and debonding of polymer–filler interface. The electrical volume resistivity of the composites decreased with HNT loading because of the ionic charge transfer. The direct current electrical resistivity study of the composites proves that the addition of HNT can improve the antistatic properties of the polymer.

AbstractHalloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were modified by γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-MPS) as it interacts with the aluminol and silanol groups of HNTs present at the edges and surfaces of HNTs. The polymer composites were prepared by means of the solution casting method with ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer having 45% vinyl acetate (VA) content with different weight percent of modified HNTs (m-HNTs). The modification of the HNTs by γ-MPS increases the interfacial and inter-tubular interactions and the degree of dispersion of the HNTs within the EVA matrix which manifest from increase in crosslinking density. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tensile modulus and tear strength of nanocomposites were found to increase because of m-HNT. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and the crystalline percentage decreases for EVA/m-HNT nanocomposites were due to the strong interaction between EVA matrix and filler. Also, the EVA/m-HNT nanocomposites exhibited better thermal stability due to the strong inter-tubular interaction.

Aging Performance

Abstract The heat aging performance of a series of novel poly (phenylene ether) (PPE) based thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) from styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and PPE-polystyrene (PS), was studied. This quaternary blend showed superior heat aging performance due to the high Tg thermoplastic component (PPE). At 80 °C, different compositions of the quaternary blends were exposed for 500 hours. Effects of compositions, vinyl acetate (VA) content of EVA and different molecular weights (MW) of SEBS, on the mechanical properties upon heat aging were analyzed in detail. A representative composition (based on the mechanical properties) of the quaternary blend (SEBS/EVA/PPE-PS: 45/30/25) was exposed at different temperatures, i.e. 80 °C, 120 °C, 140 °C and 170 °C, for 2000 hours. Thermal degradation profiles of change in tensile strength and percent elongation at break due to thermal degradation of the blends were monitored and “half-life” temperature was estimated. Using the Arrhenius equation, the “lifetime” of the quaternary blend was predicted (100,000 hours at ∼131 °C). Change in functionalities due to chemical degradation was also monitored using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). As a consequence of degradation, the shift in Tg was observed by temperature modulated DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimeter). Detailed microstructural studies were done to establish the structure-property correlation, for degraded as well as pristine materials. The degradation mechanism was elucidated on the basis of morphology and structure studies of the blends.

The EVA/NR/PF composites with and without IAMA were prepared using Brabender Plasticoder at 160oC with 50rpm rotor speed. The effects of potash feldspar loading and isophathalic acid-maleic anhydride (IAMA) on the tensile properties and morphology analysis of EVA/NR/PF composites were studied. The results indicated that tensile strength for EVA/NR/PF and EVA/NR/PFIAMA composites decreased but M100 increased as the filler loading increased. EVA/NR/PFIAMA composites showed higher value of tensile strength and M100.

Thermal Stability Of

Taro powder (TP) filled composites based on recycled high density polyethylene (RHDPE)/ ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) were prepared via melt blending method. Polyethylene-grafted-maleic anhydride (PE-g-MAH) was used as a compatibilizer to enhance interfacial bonding of RHDPE/EVA/TP composites. The effects of TP loading and the addition of PE-g-MAH on the tensile properties and thermal stability of RHDPE/EVA/TP composites were investigated and studied. Findings indicated that increased TP loading will reduce tensile strength and elongation at break while increasing the modulus of elasticity. The thermal stability of RHDPE/EVA/TP composites improved by increasing filler loading. With respect to both tensile properties and thermal stability, RHDPE/EVA/TP composites with PE-g-MAH performed better than the composites without the addition of compatibilizers.
