This work was try to study the relationship between the damping properties and the hydrogen bonds, fractional free volumes of nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR)/hindered phenol (AO-80) composites from the microstructural point of view by combining the experimental and molecular simulation studies. The results indicated that the hydrogen bonds (HBs) were formed between AO-80 small molecules and NBR polymer chains. According to simulation results, because of the formed strongest HBs, highest binding energy and the smallest fractional free volume in the NBR/AO-80 composites with the blending ratio of 100/68, it contributed the maximum loss factor and highest modulus. It concluded that there was a suitable proportion of rubber blended with small hindered phenol molecules in the design of damping materials.

This work was try to study the number and types of hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) formed in hindered phenol AO-70/nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) composites and their contributions to the damping properties by molecular dynamic (MD) simulation and experimental methods. MD simulation results showed that there were four types of H-bonds, namely, type A (AO-70) –OH...NC– (NBR) H-bonds in AO-70/NBR composites, type B (AO-70) –OH...O=C– (AO-70) H-bonds, type C (AO-70) –OH...OH–(AO-70) and D (AO-70) –OH...O–C– (AO-70) H-bonds, what's more, type A and type B H-Bonds formed more easily than others. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the existence of H-bonds. Meanwhile, the AO-70/NBR composites with AO-70 content of 109 phr had the largest number of H-bonds, smallest fractional free volume (FFV) and resulting in the optimistic damping performance of the composites.

AbstractFor hindered phenol (HP)/polymer-based hybrid damping materials, the damping properties are greatly affected by the structure variation of HPs. However, the unclear relationship between them limits the exploitation of such promising materials. Therefore, three HPs with different chain polarity were synthesized to explore the relationship in this paper. The structures of the HPs were firstly confirmed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrum, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). For further prepared HP/polyurethane hybrids, FT-IR and XRD were also adopted to confirm the hydrogen bonding interactions and micromorphologies. And, Molecular dynamics simulation was further used to characterize the effects of polarity variation on the hydrogen bonding interactions and chain packing of the hybrids in a quantitative manner. Then, combined with dynamic mechanical analysis, the relationship between the chain polarity variation of the hindered phenols and the damping properties was established.
