Surface modified nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was prepared by silicon-69, and then blended into natural rubber latex to prepare nanocomposites. The nanocomposites properties of tensile properties, tear strength, morphology and thermal dynamic mechanical properties were measured by mechanical property testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), respectively. The results showed that modified NCC is homogeneously distributed throughout NR matrix, which leads to the enhancement on mechanical properties. Moreover, the storage modulus (E) of modified nanocellulose filled NR is higher than unmodified nanocellulose filled NR, and the tanδ is reversed.

Natural Rubber Composites

Cellulose based fibers such as sisal, jute and coir are ones of the most frequently used reinforcing fillers for composite materials including natural rubber composites because they can improve mechanical properties of their composites. However, the main disadvantages of these composites are the poor compatibility between the fiber surface and the host matrices, mainly due to the highly hydrophilic character of the fibers and the hydrophobic character of the host materials. Therefore, in this research, coir had been modified with linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) prior to introducing into the natural rubber composites. The coir-filled LLDPE was synthesized by in situ polymerization with MAO/metallocene catalyst, named as modified coir. The unmodified coir and modified coir were then blended with natural rubber latex to obtain natural rubber composites. The morphology and thermal dynamic mechanical properties of the composites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The composites blended with the modified coir showed the better compatibility between the coir and the natural rubber than those with the unmodified coir. In addition, they also showed the greater storage modulus and lower tan delta than the unmodified counterpart and the pure natural rubber without the reinforcement.

The results of a study related to the processing and characterization of PMMA-Y2O3 (Eu3+) nanocomposites are presented herein. The nanocomposite samples were prepared using a laboratory mixing molder with different contents of Eu-ion doped Y2O3 nanophosphor powder. The influence of particle content on the optical and dynamic mechanical properties of the nanocomposites was investigated. The intensity of the luminescence emission spectra increased as the nanophosphor content in the composite increased. The results of dynamic mechanical analysis revealed that the storage modulus, loss modulus and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer composites increased with increasing content of the nanophosphor powder. The microhardness data also confirmed that the hardness number increased with nanoparticles concentration in the PMMA nanocomposites. The obtained results revealed a relatively linear relationship between Tg and the Vickers hardness.

In this study, an effect of leaching treatment on the mechanical properties of natural rubber latex (NRL) products was investigated. The products were prepared by compounding the NRL dispersion system with modified kaolin as fillers then it was formed by dipping method. It was found that incorporation of fillers in NRL would result in lowering mechanical properties of vulcanizates when the leaching was performed. The results were confirmed further by characterization of Fourier-Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

In this sudy, the influenceof di(tert-butylperoxyisopropyl)benzene (DTBPIB) on the properties of natural rubber (NR) blend with epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) was determined. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total refletance analysis and gel content confired crosslinking occurred in the rubber blends in the presence of peroxide DTBPIB percentage. Studies including tensile properties, dynamic mechanical properties, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and water absorptivity showed the changes in properties of the crosslinked NR/ENR blends. Tensile properties analysis disclosed the improvements in the modulus at 300% elongation and tensile stength with increasing NR ratios. Dynamic mechanical analysis revealed the blends to be incompatible and immiscible, with ENR showing a more viscous behaviour compared to the polymer blends. Thermal properties improved by blending NR with ENR as the onset temperature of NR/ENR: 50/50 was higher than pure NR by approximately 10oC and ENR by approximately 2oC. Water absorptivity experiment revealed a two-fold reduction in the presence of crosslinking for all blend ratios.

In order to study the dynamic mechanical properties of styrene–acrylic latex with a core/shell structure, a variety of latexes were synthesized by semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization based on “particle design” with the same material. The latexes were characterized by rotary viscosimeter, dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and universal testing machine. The effects of difference at the glass transition temperature (Tg) of core and shell and the introduction of the “transition layer” on the damping and mechanical properties of latex film were studied. The results indicate that as the Tg of core and shell gets closer, the better the compatibility of core and shell, from phase separation to phase continuity. Furthermore, the introduction of the “transition layer” can effectively improve the tensile strength and tan δ (max) of the latex film. The tensile strength and maximum loss factor (f = 1 Hz) of latex with the “transition layer” increased by 36.73% and 29.11% respectively compared with the latex without the “transition layer”. This work provides a reference for the design of emulsion for damping coating.
