The authors compared the results of determining the ozone resistance (OR) and weather resistance (WR) obtained in laboratory and natural conditions of tropical climate. The samples were manufactured with unsaturated rubbers (nitrile butadiene rubbers BNKS-18AN, BNKS-28AN, BNKS-40AN and SKN-26PVC-30, styrene butadiene rubber SKMS-30 ARKM, isoprene SKI-3 and butadiene SKD-ND). All the samples were not filled with antioxidants or antiozonants. The curing process at 160 °C and the total crosslink density (νt) were studied using a MonTech MDR 3000 Professional rotorless rheometer. The physical and mechanical properties of the vulcanizates were determined with the using of a Zwick\Roell Z010 tensile testing machine at a test speed of 500 mm / min. Hardness and tear resistance were also determined. The numerical estimate of νt was obtained from the data on the dynamic shear modulus. Density of chemical bonds νch was determined from the data of equilibrium swelling in toluene according to the Flory-Rener equation. Full-scale climatic tests in tropical climate in the south of the Republic of Vietnam were carried out for 9 months in accordance with GOST 9.066-76 with initial deformations of 10, 20, 30, 40 %. The sample stand was oriented south, at a 45 degree angle. Cracks formed on the rubber surface were recorded by photography. The time before the onset of fracture Tof and the time until the appearance of the first cracks Tfc were determined. It is shown that samples of rubbers with high OR in laboratory tests had the best WR. A correlation of νch with Tof and Tfc was revealed. The obtained results show the possibility of using the express method for assessing the OR of rubbers in the development of formulations for tropical climates.

The goal of this work was to synthesize and characterize ternary rubber blends based on polyisoprene (natural rubber (NR)), polybutadiene rubber (BR), and styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) (NR/BR/SBR = 25/25/50) reinforced with different loading silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (0–100 part per hundred parts of rubber (phr)). The specimens were subjected to thermooxidative aging at 100°C, for two times: at 72 and 168 h, respectively, and then mechanically stretched to fracture by tension with a Zwick 1425 (Zwick GmbH, Ulm, Germany) universal tensile testing machine. Rheological and mechanical properties were used as characterization of the ternary rubber blends. The reinforcing performance of the filler was investigated using rheometric, mechanical, and swelling measurements, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance. Hardness, tensile strength, elongation at break, and swelling degree were assessed before and after thermal aging. There was a remarkable decrease in the optimum cure time ( tc90) and the scorch time ( ts2), which was associated with a decrease in the cure rate index of (NR/BR/SBR = 25/25/50) ternary rubber blend with 60 phr of filler loading. Interaction between rubber blend and SiO2 nano-filler is confirmed by moving absorption band from 1450 cm−1 to 1480 cm−1.

A novel exfoliated polyurethane (PU)/clay Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPNs) nanocomposite has been synthesized with polyurethane and organoclay. MTPAC is used as swelling agent to treat Na-montmorillonite for forming organoclay. The results indicate that there is very good compatibility between organoclay and PU. Nanoscale silicate dispersion was analyzed by XRD. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposites have been measured by tensile testing machine. The nanocomposites show obviously improved physical and mechanical properties when compared with the pure polymer. Additionally, PU /MTPAC- clay shows lower water absorption properties than pure PU do. In addition, the reinforcing and intercalating mechanism of silicate layers in polyurethane matrix are discussed.

Blending of rubber is an important route to modify properties of individual elastomeric components in order to obtain optimum chemical, physical, and mechanical properties. In this study, a novel modification of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is made by employing acrylic rubber (ACM) to obtain blends of outstanding mechanical, dynamic, and oil resistance properties. In order to achieve those properties, we used a unique vulcanizing system that improves the crosslink density between both polymers and enhances the dynamic mechanical properties as well as its resistance to both motor and break oils. Static mechanical measurements, tensile strength, elongation at break, and hardness are improved together with dynamic mechanical properties investigated using dynamic mechanical analyses. We also proposed a mechanism for the improvement of crosslink density and consequently oil resistance properties. This opens new opportunities for using SBR/ACM blends in oil sealing applications that requires rigorous mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties.

Hydrosorption thermoplastic vulcanisates (TPVs) with a controllable swelling rate have been developed. They contain low-density polyethylene (LDPE), nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) – a water-soluble polymer (WSP). They were mixed on a laboratory mill in two stages and vulcanised at a temperature of 170°C. At the first stage, the NBR with a vulcanising system and carbon black were mixed with the WSP at 50°C, and at the second stage this composite was mixed with the polyethylene (PE) at 140°C. The hydrosorption, deformation and strength, and electret properties of the obtained TPVs were studied. The study of the sorption properties under conditions of limited and unlimited access of water showed that composites consisting of 25% polyethylene and 75% WSP swell in water by ∼28%, and here processes of migration of the WSP out of the composites are absent. The deformation and strength properties were determined on an Inspekt Mini TR-3 kN tensile testing machine. The level of deformation and strength characteristics of the obtained TPVs is not high, which is due to the low adhesion between the PE and the polar NBR, and also between the NBR and the WSP. However, for seals and gaskets, the achievable level of strength properties is quite adequate. An electret state of the TPVs was obtained in a negative corona discharge as they cooled down after heating to 90°C. Washers were manufactured from the developed TPVs, and they were tested for their sealing capacity. It was shown that the electret state inhibits the process of swelling of the TPVs in water, which is due to the negative effect of the electric field on the rate at which wetting, dissolution, and diffusion processes take place. However, during service, the electret state of articles manufactured from the developed TPVs rapidly relaxes, after which the swelling process occurs at a steady rate. This makes it possible to carry out assembly work involving the fitting or replacement of seals made of the hydrosorption TPVs.

Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) or nitrile rubber is an unsaturated copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile. NBR has been widely used for fuel hoses, seals and gaskets due to its excellent oil and fuel resistance. Aiming to develop NBR which has resistance to oxygenated solvent, NBR with acrylonitrile content of 34 wt%, was blended with Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and Poly (Styrene-co-Acrylonitrile) (SAN) as binary polymer systems. The NBR/ABS and SAN blends were prepared by mechanical blending in the composition of 80/20, 70/30 and 60/40 w/w. The effects of ABS or SAN content on mechanical, morphological and thermal properties were investigated and compared with commercials NBR. Mechanical properties were determined using the tensile testing machine. The morphologies of polymer blends were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The thermal properties were examined using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). It has been found that percent compatibility of ABS and SAN into NBR rich phase are 2.69 and 1.53 wt% respectively.

The abrasive flow machining (AFM) is used to deburr, radius, polish and remove recast layer of components in a wide range of applications. Material is removed from the workpiece by a flowing semisolid mass across the surface to be finished. In this study a medium for AFM has been developed from the various viscoelastic carriers and has been contrasted through experimental investigation. The viscoelastic media are selected on the basis of existing media through the studies of thermogravimetric analysis and are characterized by mechanical, as well as rheological, properties with the help of a universal testing machine and a rheometer. The performance of the medium is evaluated through the finishing criteria on a two-way AFM setup. The investigation reveals that the styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) medium gives a good improvement in surface finish. The surface improvement through SBR media is 88%. It is also found that the strain, temperature, shear rate, time of applied constant stress, cyclic loading, etc. have an impact on the mechanical and rheological properties of the newly developed medium, which are ultimately governed by the performance of the medium in the target applications.

Silane Coupling

The methoxy-type silane coupling agents were synthesized via the modification of the hydrolyzable group and characterized to investigate the change in properties of silica/rubber composites based on the different silane coupling agent structures and the masterbatch fabrication methods. The prepared methoxy-type silane coupling agents exhibited higher reactivity towards hydrolysis compared to the conventional ethoxy-type one which led to the superior silanization to the silica filler surface modified for the reinforcement of styrene-butadiene rubber. The silica/rubber composites based on these methoxy-type silane coupling agents had the characteristics of more developed vulcanization and mechanical properties when fabricated as masterbatch products for tread materials of automobile tire surfaces. In particular, the dimethoxy-type silane coupling agent showed more enhanced rubber composite properties than the trimethoxy-type one, and the environmentally friendly wet masterbatch fabrication process was successfully optimized. The reactivity of the synthesized silane coupling agents toward hydrolysis was investigated by FITR spectroscopic analysis, and the mechanical properties of the prepared silica-reinforced rubber polymers were characterized using a moving die rheometer and a universal testing machine.
