Enhancement of the physicomechanical properties of rubber can be achieved by the incorporation of reinforcing fillers, such as clay. Cation-exchanged zeolites (CEZes) were prepared by exchanging the native Na+ ions with single inorganic cations (magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), or strontium) and/or double cations (Zn-Mg), then they were processed as reinforcing fillers in the two type of synthetic rubber, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). Characterization of modified zeolite (Ze) was implemented using infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The aim of this article is to study the influence of Ze and CEZe loadings on the rheometrical and physicomechanical properties of both NBR and SBR composites, also the thermogravimetric analysis was examined and the results were discussed. The results showed that the composites exhibited remarkable improvements in tensile strength, elongation at break, and hardness in the presence of CEZe and also an increase in thermal stability was reported.

Abstract Ground tire rubber (GTR) was devulcanized by microwaves at the same heating rate (constant power) and different times of exposure. The devulcanized rubber (DV-R) and untreated GTR were characterized physically and thermally. Composite materials were prepared from different proportions of the GTR, which was used as a filler, and the DV-R, which was used as part of the styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) matrix, and by varying the exposure time of the microwave power. These composites were compared with a control sample that was prepared from virgin SBR. The sol content (soluble part) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses of the devulcanized samples were examined to define the efficiency of devulcanization. The cure characteristics and tensile properties of the SBR composites were researched. In this study, it was found that using DV-R as part of the rubber matrix produced much better properties than using GTR as a filler, thereby showing the significant benefits of microwave devulcanization. At the DV-R content of 50 phr, the elongation at break of the DV-R 5 min/SBR composites increased to 445.06% from 217.25% for the GTR/SBR composites, i.e., the elongation at break was enhanced by 105% by the devulcanization of GTR. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs displayed a better interface coherence between the DV-R 5 min and SBR matrix than the GTR/SBR composites.

Epoxidized palm oil (EPO) can act as processing oil has the potential of non toxic, degradable, renewable resource and as the alternative safe process oils in rubber compounding. Epoxidized palm oil is used as some of additives in rubber compounding to provide function of softener or stabiliser thus, improve properties of rubber compounding performance. Rubber that is used in this study is styrene butadiene rubber (SBR); a synthetic rubber copolymer consisting of styrene and butadiene. SBR also has good abrasion resistance and good aging stability when protected by additives. Compared to natural rubber, SBR has better processability, heat aging and abrasion resistance but inferior elongation, hot tear strength, hysteresis, resilience and tensile strength. This study is focusing on the effect of EPO without the addition of carbon black into the compound via tensile and density test. This is very important as to study the physical and mechanical interaction between SBR and EPO without the influence of other fillers. Different loading of oil were used at 25 pphr, 30 pphr. 35 pphr, 40 pphr and 45 pphr in the compounding process as processing aid. EPO35 which contain 35 pphr of EPO shows the highest value of tensile strength which is 2.2 MPa. The vulcanizate that contain 30 pphr of EPO shows the highest value for Youngs modulus which is 0.22 MPa while the elongation at break increased as the oil loading increased. The highest value for density is 0.979 g/cm3 for the vulcanizate contain 25 pphr of EPO. The results indicates that EPO is potential to replace other processing oils as renewable resource and safe to human.

Abstract Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were incorporated into an EPDM/SBR rubber/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composite by melt blending of HNTs into the EPDM/SBR blend. The mechanical properties, abrasion and swelling resistance of HNTs ranging from 2 parts per hundred rubber (phr) to 10 parts per hundred rubber (phr) were investigated in EPDM/SBR base rubber. Tensile strength, 100% modulus (modulus at 100 percent elongation), elongation at break and tear strength were evaluated at ambient temperature using electric universal tensile testing equipment in accordance with ASTM D-412. Hardness, abrasion and swelling resistance were determined using Shore-A Durometer, DIN abrader and immersion techniques, respectively. The results show that increasing HNT content increased tensile strength, tear strength, hardness (stiffness), and crosslink density. The surface morphology of tensile-fractured material was studied using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). According to FE-SEM results, the most roughness of the surface was seen at HNTs filled rubber nano-composites.

Abstract Dissolution of sulfur-cured, carbon black-loaded copolymers and their blends with cis-1,4-polybutadiene (PBD) are brought about by boiling with o-dichlorobenzene which contains a small amount of 2,2′-dibenzamidodiphenyl disulfide. The resulting slurries are subjected to a sequence of separations which include high-speed centrifugation to remove solids, and solvent precipitation followed by filtration to isolate the precipitates. The precipitates are washed with solvent to remove soluble organic materials followed by carbon disulfide washing to dissolve the polymers. Cast films of the polymers are obtained by evaporating the carbon disulfide washings onto sodium chloride discs. The infrared spectra of the cast films of these preparations are very similar to those of their respective polymers prior to loading and curing. Calculations for relative concentrations of bound styrene and PBD micro-structures permit nominal identification of the kinds of styrene-butadiene rubber and the amounts of cis-1,4-PBD used in a cured rubber formulation. Absorption bands used are near 3.35 μ for cis-1,4-PBD, 6.65 μ for bound styrene, 10.35 μ for trans-1,4-PBD; and 11.0 μ for vinyl-1,2-PBD. Efforts are being made to improve the data by using a grating infrared instrument and also to extend the calibrations to include other rubber blends.

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 Rheometric and mechanical properties, hysteresis and swelling behavior of the Styrene-Butadiene Rubber vulcanizates (SBR) filled with unmodified and novel electron beam modified surface treated dual phase fillers were investigated. Scorch time increases for these modified filler loaded vulcanizates due to introduction of quinone type oxygen on the surface. Electron beam modification of dual phase filler in the absence of trimethylol propanetriacrylate (TMPTA) or triethoxysilylpropyltetrasulphide (Si-69) significantly improves the modulus of the SBR vulcanizates, whereas the values of tensile strength and elongation at break drop. However, presence of TMPTA or silane slightly increases the modulus with significant improvement in tensile strength. This effect is more pronounced at higher loading of these modified fillers in SBR vulcanizates. These variations in modulus and tensile strength are explained by the equilibrium swelling data, Kraus plot and a new mathematical model interpreting the polymer-filler interaction. Hysteresis loss ratio of SBR vulcanizates loaded with irradiated fillers in absence and presence of TMPTA or silane increases due to highly aggregated structure of the filler.
