A series of the nanocomposites based on a multicomponent polymer matrix consisting of polyurethane and poly(hydroxypropyl methacrylate) and 1,2-propanediolysobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (1,2-propanediolysobutyl-POSS), used as a functionalized nanofiller, was synthesized. The polymer matrix was formed on the principle of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs). The influence of 1,2-propanediolysobutyl-POSS amount on the thermodynamics of polymer components of the matrix interactions and on the dynamic mechanical properties of the created nanocomposites was studied. With purpose of the thermodynamic parameters interactions calculations the isothermal sorption of methylene chloride vapour by samples was investigated. The methylene chloride vapour sorption by the samples was studied using a vacuum installation and a McBain balance. By calculations of the thermodynamic parameters of PU and PHPMA interactions was shown that the free energy of PU and PHPMA mixing was positive. The introduction of 1-3 wt % of POSS lead to further phase separation in semi-IPNs. This is due to concentration of POSS particles in the PU’s nanodomains. The increasing of POSS content up to 5-10 wt % lead to compatibi-lization in semi-IPNs. These is due to concentration of POSS nanoparticles not only in the PU’s nanodomains but also in the interphase region of semi-IPN. The dynamic mechanical properties of the created nanocomposites were investigated and the degree of polymer components segregation was calculated. It was shown that there are two peaks of tan δ (PU and PHPMA) in the nanocom-posites. The introduction of 1-3 wt % of POSS lead to increasing of tan δ peak of PHPMA and to deepening of the bridge between two peaks (PU and PHPMA). At the same time the degree of polymer components of the matrix segregation became higher. This means the further phase separation in semi-IPNs. Increasing of 1,2-propanediolysobutyl-POSS amount up to 5-10% leads to the concentration of the nanofiller not only in the nanodomains of PU, but also in the interfacial layers. This leads to a change in the free energy of polymer components mixing, which becomes negative. At the same time the degree of polymer components of the matrix segregation became significantly reduced. These means that the process of compatibilization took part in the semi-IPNs.

The presented paper deals with the use of waste materials as ecological fillers into rubber matrix. Waste materials were used as partial replacement of the commercial filler – carbon black, designated as N339. These prepared rubber compounds were characterized on the basis of the rheology and vulcanization characteristics – minimum torque (ML), maximum torque (MH), optimum time of vulcanization (t(c90)), processing safety of compound (ts), rate coefficient of vulcanization (Rv). In the case of the prepared vulcanizates, physical-mechanical properties (tensile strength, tensibility and hardness) and dynamic-mechanical properties (storage modulus, loss modulus, loss angle tan δ) were investigated. Using the dependency of loss angle on temperature, the selected properties for tyre tread vulcanizates were evaluated, including traction on snow and ice, traction on the wet surface and rolling resistance.

The Matrix

The thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of random butyl acrylate- and plasticized ethyl acrylate-based vinylpyridinium ionomers have been investigated. The properties of the ionomers were found to be dependent on the glass transition temperature of the matrix material. Ionomers having a glass transition temperature lower than ca. 25 °C exhibited all the features associated with the presence of phase-separated microdomains or clusters while the materials with higher glass transition temperatures were not. It was also observed that the dispersion associated with the vinylpyridinium clusters for a butyl acrylate-based ionomer with 12 mol% of ionic units occurs at ca. 25 °C. This value is very close to that observed previously by Otocka and Eirich in their study of a butadiene-based vinylpyridinium ionomer with the same ion content.

This work reports the preparation of SiO 2 and TiO 2/poly (vinyl butyral) nanocomposites with enhanced dynamic mechanical properties. Silica and titania nanoparticles were introduced in the matrix as the neat powder and as colloidal sol using the melt mixing process. Composites reinforced with colloidal sol silica and titania showed higher mechanical properties than the ones reinforced with as-received particles. When sol TiO 2 particles are used, the highest increase of storage modulus of about 54% is obtained for 5 wt% loading, while for sol SiO 2, the storage modulus increases with the addition of nanosilica with the largest increase of about 99% for 7 wt% loading. In addition, nanocomposites were introduced within Kevlar/PVB composites. The addition of 5 wt% silica and titania colloidal sol lead to the remarkable increase of the storage modulus for about 98 and 65%, respectively. Largest contribution of nanoreinforcements in lowering the glass transition temperature is observed for 7 wt% loading of TiO 2 and SiO 2 colloidal sol.

The Impact

Three used PP-based car bumpers are characterized by many techniques (fractionation, IR, TGA, DSC, DMTA, and SEM). They show different impact and static and dynamic mechanical properties depending on their composition and morphology. It appears that block copolymer compatibilizers constituted by polyethylene-polypropylene sequences allow a better compatibility between the rubber domains and the PP matrix leading to relatively high impact resistance. Indeed if the ethylene sequences of the copolymer are large enough to crystallize, the decreased mobility of the whole system impairs the impact resistance. In addition, a higher amount of rubber in domains regular in shape and of greater dimension (1–3 μm) promotes a more homogeneous dispersion of external force inside the material, decreasing the risk of fracture. The amount of mineral fillers regulates the elastic modulus (the higher the load, the higher the modulus); however, a fairly good interfacial adhesion is required for satisfactory impact strength. All PP-based bumpers have been mechanically recycled in an internal mixer to redistribute oxidized species and to reestablish phase compatibilization. Recycling improves mechanical properties in slow speed test but fails to increase impact strength particularly in filled bumper, in which the quality of the matrix/filler interphase is hard to improve by simple remixing.

AbstractThree different sets of styrene-based ionomer homoblends containing ca. 5 mol% of ionic repeat units, i.e. poly(styrene-co-sodium itaconate) [P(S-co-ITANa)]/ poly(styrene-co-sodium methacrylate) [P(S-co-MANa)] ionomer blends, sodium sulfonated polystyrene [P(S-co-SSNa)]/P(S-co-MANa) ionomer blends, and P(S-co-ITANa)/P(S-co-SSNa) ionomer blends, were prepared and their dynamic mechanical properties were investigated. It was observed that with increasing itaconate content in the blend of P(S-co-ITANa)/P(S-co-MANa) ionomers the multiplet of the P(S-co-MANa) ionomer disrupted initially very rapidly, and ionic modulus of the blend increased drastically. In the case of P(S-co-ITANa)/P(S-co-SSNa) ionomer blends, again, the ionic modulus increased significantly with increasing itaconate content. In these two ionomer blend systems, the itaconate, having two ionic groups per ionic repeat unit, influenced the properties of the blends more noticeably than the other two ionic units, containing only one ionic group per ionic repeat unit. In the blend system of P(S-co-SSNa)/P(S-co-MANa), as expected, the cluster loss tangent peak shifted to higher temperature, ionic modulus decreased, but the ionic plateau extended more with increasing the ratio of the P(S-co-SSNa) content. However, it should be mentioned that when the ion contents of the methacrylate and sulfonate ionomers increased to over 6 mol%, at which the cluster phase of the P(S-co-MANa) ionomers is known to become dominant, compared to the matrix phase, the three loss tangent peaks were observed, which implies that methacrylate-rich and sulfonaterich phases exist together. This might be due to the fact that a copolymerization effect becomes stronger; that is, with increasing ion content the role of ionic units in random copolymer ionomers becomes more important, compared to the role of host non-ionic units. As a concluding remark, the properties of these three ionomer blend systems depend on the degree of clustering, type of ionic groups, and the number of ionic groups per repeat unit.

Thermal Conductivities

In order to improve the thermal conductivities of composites, AlN are used as thermal conductive fillers of EPDM rubber. The contact angle and surface free energy of AlN and modified AlN are studied. The influence filler amount and the surface treatment of AlN which coated by phenol formaldehyde resin (PF), on the thermal conductivities and mechanical properties of composites material are also investigated. The results show that the surface free energy of modified AlN is lower than unmodified, so the modified AlN are easier dispersion in the matrix. Through the TGA analysis, it can give a quantitative analysis of the surface coating thickness. With the increase of the filler, the thermal conductivities of composites are all on the rise, while the mechanical properties decreased in different degree. The modified AlN have active impacts on the thermal conductivities and harmful to mechanical properties of the filled EPDM rubber.

Ldpe Composites

In this work, the effect of aging duration time and copper (II) oxide loading level on the physico-mechanical properties of copper (II) oxide added LDPE composites have been investigated. The addition of copper (II) oxide particles in LDPE matrix has significantly decreased the tensile strength of LDPE composites. The occurrence of copper (II) oxide particles in LDPE matrix could reduce the matrix continuities of copper (II) oxide added LDPE composites by the agglomeration of copper (II) oxide particles. This could further cause the applied straining stress unable to be effectively transferred throughout the whole polymer matrix. The increasing of aging time duration up to 8 days has slightly reduced the tensile strength of all copper (II) oxide added LDPE composites. The increasing of copper (II) oxide loading level has significantly decreased the elongation at break of LDPE composites. This is due to poor interfacial adhesion between copper (II) oxide particles and LDPE matrix could further restrict the mobility of LDPE chains under straining stress and thus decrease the elongation at break.

Static Mechanical Properties

The relatively poor mechanical properties of corn fibre (CF) and its green composites have hindered its applications. In this work, sisal fibre (SF) was hybridised with CF to reinforce polylactide (PLA) composites (CF/SF/PLA). The static mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact strengths and dynamic mechanical properties such as storage modulus (E’), damping behaviour (tan δ), glass transition temperature (Tg) of the hybrid composites were determined and, for the first time, hybrid effects on both static and dynamic mechanical properties were evaluated. It is found that the tensile, flexural, impact strengths, and E’ and tan δ peak height, as well as the hybrid effects change with hybrid ratio (SF:CF). It is demonstrated that a hybrid composite with desirable static and dynamic mechanical properties can be produced by optimising the fibre:hybrid ratio.

Graphite Composites

Polyamide 6/polyurethane/graphite composites have been prepared by anionic polymerization process. The effect of graphite concentration on mechanical properties of the composites was investigated. The test results show that with increment of graphite content, tensile strength of the composites increases firstly, and then decreases, while notch impact strength decreases. The change of mechanical properties of the composites is attributed to the dispersion of graphite, the interfacial properties between the matrix and graphite and the nucleation effect of graphite. In addition, the relationships between loss factor(Tan δ), storage module(E’) and temperature were investigated using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis(DMTA), and the morphological characteristic of the composites were studied using Scanning Electronic Microscope (SEM).
