In this paper, the influence of paraffinic oil on the physical mechanical and thermal properties of three EPDM rubbers types Buna EP T.6465, Keltan 5260Q and Keltan 6160 D have been investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength and the elongation at break of Keltan 5260Q and Keltan 6160 D with 10 phr paraffinic oil represent the improvement of 57.8% to 57.6% and 71% to 81% respectively, compared to EPDM rubbers without paraffinic oil. The mean peel force of EPDM keltan 6260D with 10 phr paraffinic oil loaded is about 36% and 32.5% higher than that of keltan 5260Q and EP.T 6465 respectively. Beside that at the suitable paraffinic oil contents, the thermal resistance of Keltan 5260 Q and 6160D seems to be a little higher than that of without processing oil and these EPDM rubbers are suitable for application to high thermal resistance rubber products.

In this paper, the influence of paraffinic oil on the physical mechanical, thermal and adhesion properties of three blends of EPDM Buna EP T.6465, Keltan 5260Q and Keltan 6160 D and CIIR have been investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength values and elongation at break of keltan 5260Q/CIIR and keltan 6160 D/CIIR with 10 wt.% paraffinic oil represent the improvement of 57.8%, 57.6% and 71% to 81% respectively, compared with one without oil. The mean peel force of EPDM keltan 6260D with 10% oil loaded is about 36% and 32.5% higher than that of EPDM keltan 5260Q and EP.T 6465 blends respectively. With suitable oil content, in this case is 10% wt., the thermal resistance of keltan 5260 Q and 6160D seems to be higher than that of without processing oil and suitable for thermal resistance rubber application.


In this proposed work, Natural Rubber (NR) and Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) are blended using Graphical method in 50:50 ratio. The blends are characterized by electrical characteristics like surface resistivity, arc resistance and mechanical properties such as comparative tracking index, elongation at break and tensile strength as per standard ASTM and IEC. Graphical method type of blending overcomes the drawback of Optimal Blend Ratio (OBR) which gives an approximate solution. The composite blended gives good electrical, mechanical characteristics with good weathering resistance.

Abstract Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) was blended with poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) by extrusion at different weight ratios (PHBH/PBAT: 100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 20:80 and 0:100). Films were then prepared from the blends and characterized in terms of their morphological, rheological, mechanical and thermal properties. The morphological and rheological results indicated that PHBH/PBAT blends are immiscible but exhibit possible molecular interaction. The crystallization temperature of PHBH in the blends decreased, indicating that the addition of PBAT inhibited the crystallization of PHBH. Blending PBAT with PHBH improved the processability compared with that of pure polymers. The mechanical properties, including tensile strength, elongation at break and tear strength, increased with increasing PBAT content. The PHBH/PBAT 20:80 blend exhibited significantly improved mechanical properties, which was due to the reinforcing and toughening effect of the finely dispersed PHBH phase.

We researched the reinforcement effect of commercial Zinc methacrylate (ZDMA) on ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), ZDMA was added to EPDM directly with hakke internal mixer. The mechanical properties, SEM, RPA and FTIR were synthetically used to study the reinforcement effect, compared with the reinforcement of CB N330. The results showed that the reinforcement effect of ZDMA on EPDM was better than that of CB N330. The tensile strength of vulcanizate with ZDMA was up to 17MPa, and the elongation at break was 493%. It could possess great resilience under the condition of high hardness. After adding ZDMA, the processing fluidity and crosslink density of EPDM were improved.

The need for the development of new biodegradable materials and modification of the properties the current ones possess has essentially increased in recent years. The aim of this study was the comparison of changes occurring in poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) due to its modification by high-energy electron beam derived from a linear electron accelerator, as well as the addition of natural fibers in the form of cut hemp fibers. Changes to the fibers structure in the obtained composites and the geometrical surface structure of sample fractures with the use of scanning electron microscopy were investigated. Moreover, the mechanical properties were examined, including tensile strength, elongation at break, flexural modulus and impact strength of the modified PCL. It was found that PCL, modified with hemp fibers and/or electron radiation, exhibited enhanced flexural modulus but the elongation at break and impact strength decreased. Depending on the electron radiation dose and the hemp fibers content, tensile strength decreased or increased. It was also found that hemp fibers caused greater changes to the mechanical properties of PCL than electron radiation. The prepared composites exhibited uniform distribution of the dispersed phase in the polymer matrix and adequate adhesion at the interface between the two components.

This work is focused on the influence of moisture content on the processing and mechanical properties of a biodegradable polyester used for applications in injection molding. The pellets of the biodegradable polyester were exposed under different relative humidity conditions at a constant temperature before being compression molded. The compression-molded specimens were again placed under the above conditions before the mechanical testing. With all these samples, it is possible to determine the effect of moisture content on the processing and mechanical properties separately, as well as the combined effect of moisture content on the mechanical properties. The results obtained showed that the amount of absorbed water—both before processing and before mechanical testing—causes an increase in elongation at break and a slight reduction of the elastic modulus and tensile strength. These changes have been associated with possible hydrolytic degradation during the compression molding process and, in particular, with the plasticizing action of the moisture absorbed by the specimens.

The effect of castor oil on the physical and mechanical properties of bacterial cellulose is described. Bacterial cellulose (BC) was impregnated with 0.5–2% (w/v) castor oil (CO) in acetone–water, providing BCCO films. Scanning electron micrographs revealed that the castor oil penetrated the pores of the bacterial cellulose, resulting in a smoother morphology and enhanced hydrophilicity. Castor oil caused a slight change in crystallinity indices and resulted in reduced tensile strength and Young's modulus but increased elongation at break. A significant reduction in tensile strength and Young's modulus was achieved in BCCO films with 2% castor oil, and there was an improvement in elongation at break and hydrophilicity. Impregnation with castor oil, a biodegradable and safe plasticiser, resulted in less rigid and more ductile composites.

Graphite reinforced bio-based epoxy composites with different particulate fractions of graphite were investigated for mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elastic modulus and elongation at break. The graphite content was varied from 5 wt.%, 10 wt.%, 15 wt.%, 20 wt.%, 25 wt.%, 30 wt.% by weight percent in the composites. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the composites mainly depend on dispersion condition of the treated graphite filler, aggregate structure and strong interfacial bonding between treated graphite in the bio-based epoxy matrix. The composites showed improved tensile strength and elastic modulus with increase treated graphite weight loading. This also revealed the composites with increasing filler content was decreasing the elongation at break.

Design and fabrication of nanofibrous scaffolds should mimic the native extracellular matrix. This study is aimed at investigating electrospinning of polycaprolactone (PCL) blended with chitosan-gelatin complex. The morphologies were observed from scanning electron microscope. As-spun blended mats had thinner fibers than pure PCL. X-ray diffraction was used to analyze the degree of crystallinity. The intensity at two peaks at 2θof 21° and 23.5° gradually decreased with the percentage of chitosan-gelatin complex increasing. Moreover, incorporation of the complex could obviously improve the hydrophilicity of as-spun blended mats. Mechanical properties of as-spun nanofibrous mats were also tested. The elongation at break of fibrous mats increased with the PCL content increasing and the ultimate tensile strength varied with different weight ratios. The as-spun mats had higher tensile strength when the weight ratio of PCL to CS-Gel was 75/25 compared to pure PCL. Both as-spun PCL scaffolds and PCL/CS-Gel scaffolds supported the proliferation of porcine iliac endothelial cells, and PCL/CS-Gel had better cell viability than pure PCL. Therefore, electrospun PCL/Chitosan-gelatin nanofibrous mats with weight ratio of 75/25 have better hydrophilicity mechanical properties, and cell proliferation and thus would be a promising candidate for tissue engineering scaffolds.

Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) at 0.5 wt% to 2 wt% proportions were added to thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) synthesized with polycarbonatediol (PCDL), 4,4’-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), and 1,3-butanediol(1,3-BDO). To formulate a new TPU-MWCNT nanocomposite, the composite was melt-blended with a twin-screw extruder. To ensure the even dispersion of MWCNTs, dispersant (ethylene acrylic ester terpolymer; Lotader AX8900) of equal weight proportion to the added MWCNTs was also added during the blending process. Studies on the mechanical and thermal properties, and melt flow experiments and phase analysis of TPU-MWCNT nanocomposites, these nanocomposites exhibit higher tensile strength and elongation at break than neat TPU. TPU-MWCNT nanocomposites with higher MWCNT content possess higher glass-transition temperature (Tg), a lower melt index, and greater hardness. Relative to neat TPU, TPU-MWCNT nanocomposites exhibit favorable mechanical properties. By adding MWCNTs, the tensile strength of the nanocomposites increased from 7.59 MPa to 21.52 MPa, and Shore A hardness increased from 65 to 81. Additionally, TPU-MWCNT nanocomposites with MWCNTs had lower resistance coefficients; the resistance coefficient decreased from 4.97 × 1011 Ω/sq to 2.53 × 104 Ω/sq after adding MWCNTs, indicating a conductive polymer material. Finally, the internal structure of the TPU-MWCNT nanocomposites was examined under transmission electron microscopy. When 1.5 wt% or 2 wt% of MWCNTs and dispersant were added to TPU, the MWCNTs were evenly dispersed, with increased electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. The new material is applicable in the electronics industry as a conductive polymer with high stiffness.
