Hydrogenated butadiene-nitrile rubber elastomers: research of functional properties
The subject of the study were rubbers based on partially and fully hydrogenated nitrile-butadiene rubbers (HNBR) Therban АТ 5065 VP and Therban АТ 5005 VP, taken individually and in the ratios 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50 accordingly. The purpose of the work was to study the functional properties of rubbers based on HNBR of various degrees of unsaturation using modern methods of analysis. The degree of dispersion of the filler and the thermodynamic compatibility of polymer components in rubbers based on Therban АТ 5065 VP and Therban АТ 5005 VP mixtures are appreciated. Glass transition and decomposition temperatures, elastic modulus and mechanical loss tangent of HNBR-based and their combined compositions were identified. The microrelief of the surface of rubber samples based on HNBR, taken in different ratios, was investigated.
