The goal of this work was to study the effect of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) modified with ionic liquid (IL) on properties of styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) composites. GnPs were decorated with IL or were modified in bulk directly during rubber mix preparation. The ionic liquid used was 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate (BMPFB). The textural properties were studied to confirm surface modification of GnPs with BMPFB. In these investigations, the impact of the concentration of GnPs and the effect of the method of GnPs’ modification with IL on elastomers properties are described. Some thermal measurements (e.g., differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry) were conducted to characterize the thermal stability or the vulcanization process of the investigated samples. Complementary experimental techniques were used to investigate the properties of the obtained elastomers, specifically tensile testing, and electrical and barrier property measurements. The deposition of IL on the GnPs’ surface positively influenced the mechanical and barrier properties of elastomers. However, samples containing graphene nanoplatelets modified from solution were characterized by less electrical conductivity. SEM analysis was additionally performed to investigate GnPs’ dispersion within SBR composites.

The Impact

This paper proposes and presents the chemical modification of linear hydroxyethers (LHE) with different molecular weights (380, 640, and 1830 g/mol) with the addition of three types of rubbers (polysulfide rubber (PSR), polychloroprene rubber (PCR), and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)). The main purpose of choosing this type of modification and the materials used was the possibility to use it in industrial settings. The modification process was conducted for a very wide range of modifier additions (rubber) per 100 g LHE. The materials obtained in the study were subjected to strength tests in order to determine the effect of the modification on functional properties. Mechanical properties of the modified materials were improved after the application of the modifier (rubber) to polyhydroxyether (up to certain modifier content). The most favorable changes in the tested materials were registered in the modification of LHE-1830 with PSR. In the case of LHE-380 and LHE-640 modified in cyclohexanol (CH) and chloroform (CF) solutions, an increase in the values of the tested properties was also obtained, but to a lesser extent than for LHE-1830. The largest changes were registered for LHE-1830 with PSR in CH solution: from 12.1 to 15.3 MPa for compressive strength tests, from 0.8 to 1.5 MPa for tensile testing, from 0.8 to 14.7 MPa for shear strength, and from 1% to 6.5% for the maximum elongation. The analysis of the available literature showed that the modification proposed by the authors has not yet been presented in any previous scientific paper.

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.

Sepiolite (Sep)–styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) nanocomposites were prepared by using nano-sized sepiolite (NS-SepS9) fibers, obtained by applying a controlled surface acid treatment, also in the presence of a silane coupling agent (NS-SilSepS9). Sep/SBR nanocomposites were used as a model to study the influence of the modified sepiolite filler on the formation of immobilized rubber at the clay-rubber interface and the role of a self-assembled nanostructure in tuning the mechanical properties. A detailed investigation at the macro and nanoscale of such self-assembled structures was performed in terms of the organization and networking of Sep fibers in the rubber matrix, the nature of both the filler–filler and filler–rubber interactions, and the impact of these features on the reduced dissipative phenomena. An integrated multi-technique approach, based on dynamic measurements, nuclear magnetic resonance analysis, and morphological investigation, assessed that the macroscopic mechanical properties of clay nanocomposites can be remarkably enhanced by self-assembled filler structures, whose formation can be favored by manipulating the chemistry at the hybrid interfaces between the clay particles and the polymers.

ABSTRACT The compatibility between solution polymerized styrene–butadiene rubber (SSBR 2466) and natural rubber (NR) is characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The single glass transition in the entire temperature range of all NR/SSBR blends and good correlation between Tg and SSBR fraction prove the excellent compatibility between SSBR 2466 and NR. With increasing SSBR content, a reduced Payne effect, more homogeneous dispersion of silica, stronger rubber–filler interaction, and more silica selectively distributed in the SSBR phase were determined via rubber-processing analysis, transmission electron microscopy, bound rubber, and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. The high vinyl content, low styrene content, and end-functionalized structure of SSBR play vital roles in promoting its compatibility with NR and a stronger rubber–silica linkage. The resulting increased tan δ at 0 °C and low tan δ at 60 °C indicates good wet-skid resistance and low rolling resistance by blending SSBR 2466, and 70/30 NR/SSBR is the best balance for producing a “green tire” tread.

The market for commercial polymer blends has grown steadily. A good blend should have strong interphases between different parts of the constituted polymers. Lack of strong interphases is a classical problem of the blend industry. Ethylene-propylene-diene monomer rubber (EPDM)/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) blends have a very good aging resistance and good compression sets. However, these rubbers are partially miscible. To improve the miscibility of EPDM and SBR in their blends, a Lewis acid, AlCl3, was used to form EPDM–g–SBR copolymer through Friedel–Crafts reactions. The existence of covalent bonds between EPDM and SBR macromolecules was studied by the cure traces of the blends, that is, ΔTorque, Fourier transform infrared spectrums, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) heat flow curves, thermogravimetric analysis curves, and scanning electron (SEM) micrographs. Subsequently, several blends with EPDM/SBR ratio of 40/60 and with various AlCl3 amounts were prepared and after curing, their mechanical properties were measured and compared. The results showed covalent bonds formed between SBR–EPDM and SBR–SBR macromolecules. An exothermic change in heat flow in the DSC curve was observed around 111.28°C, which can be attributed to the formation of carbocations in Friedel–Crafts reactions. Adding 2 phr AlCl3 had an efficient effect on EPDM–SBR and or SBR–SBR linkages. The mechanical properties of the cured blends, that is, tensile strength were lower when compared with corresponding values for prepared compound with SBR. Excellent compatibility between the two polymers and strong interphases were observed in SEM micrograph of the cured blend with 1 phr AlCl3.

The topology of nanofillers is one of the key factors affecting the gas barrier properties of rubber composites. In this research, three types of carbon-based nanofillers, including spherical carbon black (CB), fibrous carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and layered graphene (GE) were chosen to investigate the effect of the topological structures of nanofillers on the gas barrier properties of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites. Results showed that the structure and strength of the filler networks in SBR composites were closely associated with the topology of nanofillers. When filled with 35 phr CB, 8 phr CNTs, and 4 phr GE, the SBR composites had the same strength of the filler network, while the improvement in gas barrier properties were 39.2%, 12.7%, and 41.2%, respectively, compared with pure SBR composites. Among the three nanofillers, GE exhibited the most excellent enhancement with the smallest filler content, demonstrating the superiority of two-dimensional GE in improving the barrier properties of rubber composites.
