This article is devoted to the problem of working out of damping polymer materials which are effective in the wide temperature and frequency range. In the modern world, work is being carried out to create damping polymer composite materials (DPM) from which it is possible to manufacture protective elements and parts of engineering structures of reduced vibration excitability. Existing DPM have a narrow temperature range, within which effective vibration absorption is observed, moreover, most of them go through a vulcanization stage, which increases the cost of the final product, has a harmful effect on environment and allows limited recycling of waste. One of the ways to solve this problem is to replace traditional rubber vibration-absorbing materials with thermo-elastoplasts (TEP). The most promising polymer for TEP is ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), which has high damping properties, oil resistance and relative incombustibility. In this regard, experimental studies were conducted to establish the patterns of influence of the type and concentration of structure-forming components (plasticizers, fillers, modifiers) on the dynamic mechanical properties of TEP based on EVA in order to develop a new DPM effective in a wide temperature range. The leading method to investigate this problem is a method of dynamic mechanical analysis which allows to get information about changes of mechanical characteristics under mechanical load and controlled temperature and frequency. With the help of detected patterns it was possible to determine type of plasticizer which significantly decreases glass temperature of EVA. The percentage ratio of EVA/plasticizer system is stated, and the type of plasticizer at which the maximum of mechanical losses takes over greater values is accordingly detected. It is revealed, that to work out DPM on EVA basis, which are effective in wide temperature range it is more preferable to add not less than 40 % on volume basis inert fillers, such as talc or mica with addition of 5-10 % of carbon as the hardening additive. The kind of resin improving damping properties and raising rigidity of composites on EVA basis is defined. On the basis of the research, a material was developed which has the following properties: the maximum value of tan δ is at least 0.45 at a temperature of plus 5�C (oscillation frequency 10 Hz); width of the temperature interval within which tan δ is not less than 0.3 from minus 40 to plus 50�С (oscillation frequency 10 Hz); conditional tensile strength of not less than 10 kg/cm2, cold resistance up to minus 50�C.

The recycling of plastics is currently one of the most significant industrial challenges. Due to the enormous amounts of plastic wastes generated by various industry branches, it is essential to look for potential methods for their utilization. In the presented work, we investigated the recycling potential of wastes originated from the agricultural films recycling line. Their structure and properties were analyzed, and they were modified with 2.5 wt % of commercially available compatibilizers. The mechanical and thermal performance of modified wastes were evaluated by tensile tests, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that incorporation of such a small amount of modifiers may overcome the drawbacks caused by the presence of impurities. The incorporation of maleic anhydride-grafted compounds enhanced the tensile strength of wastes by 13–25%. The use of more ductile compatibilizers—ethylene-vinyl acetate and paraffin increased the elongation at break by 55–64%. The presence of compatibilizers also reduced the stiffness of materials resulting from the presence of solid particles. It was particularly emphasized for styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, which caused up to a 20% drop of Young’s modulus. Such effects may facilitate the further applications of analyzed wastes, e.g., in polymer film production. Thermal performance was only slightly affected by compatibilization. It caused a slight reduction in polyethylene melting temperatures (up to 2.8 °C) and crystallinity degree (up to 16%). For more contaminated materials, the addition of compatibilizers caused a minor reduction in the decomposition onset (up to 6 °C). At the same time, for the waste after three washing cycles, thermal stability was improved. Moreover, depending on the desired properties and application, materials do not have to go through the whole recycling line, simplifying the process, reducing energy and water consumption. The presented results indicate that it is possible to efficiently use the materials, which do not have to undergo the whole recycling process. Despite the presence of impurities, they could be applied in the manufacturing of products which do not require exceptional mechanical performance.

this work is devoted to the problem of developing vibration-damping polymer materials with high damping properties in a wide temperature range. The study of the effect of modifying additives on the strength, damping, adhesive and cohesive properties of a butyl rubber composite is the aim of this work. The task is to identify the actual temperature, frequency, dynamic and mechanical characteristics of a composite material based on butyl rubber depending on the type and concentration of resins. The key methods for studying this problem is the dynamic mechanical analysis method, aimed at obtaining information about changes in the dynamic properties of polymer materials (bond strength with metal when peeling samples of composites, determining the flow resistance of samples, determining the migration of plasticizer). Due to the established experimental dependences, it was found that the addition of resins (3% by weight) in the composition based on butyl rubber leads to an increase in the damping properties of composite materials, and an increase to (4.25% by weight) leads to their decrease. It was established that the obtained filled mixtures with a high damping peak and good adhesive and strength properties are mixtures with the addition of alkyl phenol-formaldehyde resins.

This research is devoted to the actual problem of the development of damping polymer materials which are effective in a wide range of temperatures and having satisfactory strength characteristics. There are many works devoted to the study of dynamic mechanical properties of filled composites, but most do not take into account the influence of plasticizer on the strength properties of the polymer, as they change its characteristics for the worse. In this respect, the study and comparison of the mechanical properties of the polymer base with the introduction of different types and concentrations of plasticizers is an urgent task. According to the received regularities it was possible to define the type, concentration and boundaries of the polarity of the plasticizer, which reduces the strength characteristics of ethylene-vinyl acetate to a lesser degree.

Three Phase

In this paper, a three-phase composite with electrically conductive carbon black (ECCB) and piezoelectric ceramic particles, PMN, embedded into butyl (PMN/ECCB/IIR) was prepared by simple blend and mold-press process. Dynamic mechanical properties with various ECCB loading were tested by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). DMA shows that the ECCB loading has remarkable effect on the dynamic mechanical properties of the three-phase composite. The temperature range of loss factor (tanδ) above 0.3 the composite was broadened by almost 100°C and the maximum of loss factor shifts to higher temperature in the testing temperature range respectively with increasing the ECCB loading. The piezoelectric damping theory was used to explain the experimental results. The three-phase composites with proper composition can be used as high damping polymer materials.
