A morphological study was conducted on ternary systems containing epoxy, PMMA-grafted natural rubber, and organic chemically modified montmorillonite (Cloisite 30B). Optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) analysis were used. The following four materials were prepared at room temperature: cured unmodified epoxy, cured toughened epoxy, cured unmodified epoxy/Cloisite 30B nanocomposites, and cured toughened epoxy/Cloisite 30B nanocomposites. Mixing process was performed by mechanical stirring. Poly(etheramine) was used as the curing agent. The detailed TEM images revealed co-continuous and dispersed spherical rubber in the epoxy-rubber blend, suggesting a new proposed mechanism of phase separation. High-magnification TEM analysis showed good interactions between rubber and Cloisite 30B in the ternary system. Also, it was found that rubber particles could enhance the separation of silicates layers. Both XRD and TEM analyses confirmed that the intercalation of Cloisite 30B was achieved. No distinct exfoliated silicates were observed by TEM. Aggregates of layered silicates (tactoids) were observed by SEM and EDX, in addition to TEM at low magnification. EDX analysis confirmed the presence of organic and inorganic elements in the binary and ternary epoxy systems containing Cloisite 30B.

Fresh field natural rubber was coagulated by acetic acid, soaked in water at room temperature (WRT) or 70°C (W70) for 1 hr, and then dried in an oven at 40°C. Non-soaked natural rubber samples (NoW) served as a control. Two grades of natural rubber, namely air-dry sheet (ADS) and ribbed smoked sheet No.3 (RSS3) derived from the same latex, were also investigated. All dry rubber samples were characterized with Lovibond colorimeter according to ASTM D3157, as well as with a HunterLab spectrophotometer. Furthermore, all the dry rubber samples were dissolved in a chloroform:methanol mixture (4:1 v:v). The rubber was then precipitated out of the solution with methanol, and the remaining solution was quantitatively analyzed for total phenolic content (TPC). The plasticity retention index (PRI) was determined for all the dried rubber samples according to ASTM D3194. It was found that WRT, W70 and ADS were similar in lightness L*, while RSS3 had the lowest L*. W70 had the lowest redness a*, which increased in the order WRT, NoW, RSS3 and ADS. W70 also had the lowest yellowness b*, which increased in the order RSS3, NoW and WRT and ADS. Moreover, TPC was the lowest for the W70 sample, increasing in the order ADS, WRT, NoW and RSS3. The PRI was highest for W70, and decreased in the order WRT, RSS3, NoW and ADS. All of the PRI values observed were comparatively high relative to blocked standard Thai rubber 20 (STR20).

Abstract When the recipe is basically the same, different polymers differ in dynamic rate and damping. Ethylene—propylene terpolymer, SBR, neoprene, and butyl gave higher dynamic rate and higher damping than natural rubber, polyisoprene, and the blend of polyisoprene and cis 1,4-polybutadiene. The lowest dynamic rate and lowest damping is obtained with polyisoprene. At room temperature, polymers having the highest damping also have the largest ratio of dynamic to static rate. One cannot predict the effect of temperature on dynamic rate by measuring static rate at these temperatures. Increase in temperature lowers dynamic rate, decrease in temperature increases it. This effect was least with a blend of polyisoprene and cis 1,4-polybutadiene, closely followed by polyisoprene, and natural rubber. The largest change was with butyl. Dynamic rate increases with time after cure. After 26 hr, dynamic rate is a function of the logarithm of time. This effect is least with polyisoprene. Natural rubber, SBR, EPT, neoprene and a blend of polyisoprene with cis 1,4-polybutadiene all follow Equation (1). Butyl has, by far, the greatest change in dynamic rate with time. Reducing the deflection from 0.012 in. to 0.004 in. linearly increased the dynamic rate. Times of vibration between 2 minutes and 60 minutes at room temperature had no effect on dynamic rate.
