The aim of the work is to study the effect of hollow corundum, glass and pomegranate ceramic microspheres on the rheometric characteristics of aggressive resistant rubber mixtures and the physicomechanical parameters of their vulcanizates to determine of the content of fillers of this type, which provides an improvement in the priority properties of products and, as a result, an increase in their durability. The objects of research were two rubber mixtures intended for compression molding and injection molding. The compression molding mixture is based on a combination of nitrile butadiene, isoprene and butadiene-α-methyl styrene caoutchoucs with colloidal silicic acids as the main fillers. And the injection molding mixture is based on a combination of synthetic isoprene and butadiene rubbers filled with chalk, P234 carbon black and carbon 100. We used hollow corundum (HMC-L), glass (MS-V), and pomegranate ceramic (MVMD-170) microspheres. The rheometric properties of the rubber compounds were evaluated by the values of the minimum and maximum torques, the duration of the induction period, the time to reach the technological optimum, and the maximum vulcanization rate. When testing vulcanizates, conditional tensile strength, elongation at break, tear resistance, hardness, abrasion and rebound elasticity were determined. Priority indicators were also determined that correlated to the greatest extent with the durability of the products during operation - relative changes in conditional tensile strength and elongation at break, hardness after heat aging in air and standard liquid SZhR-1, change in mass of samples after swelling in industrial oil I-20A and Nefras S-80/120. For a mixture for compression molding, the effect of the type of microspheres introduced at a dosage of 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass caoutchoucs, on the properties of unvulcanized mixtures and vulcanizates was studied. It was found that the rubber mixture with glass microspheres is somewhat below in vulcanization activity, and its vulcanizate in terms of abrasion resistance, heat aging, especially in air, is inferior to two mixtures and rubbers with corundum and pomegranate microspheres. In the second mixture, we tested corundum microspheres with a dosage of 3.0 to 7.0 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of caoutchoucs while reducing by the appropriate amount of carbon black. It was found that with an increase in the dosage of microspheres, a decrease in the vulcanization activity of the mixture, minimum and maximum torques, and also their difference is observed, which indicates a slight decrease in the degree of crosslinking of rubbers. The consequence is an increase in relative lengtheningof the vulcanizates. To the least extent, this effect manifests itself with the introduction of corundum microspheres in a dosage of 3 parts by mass. Thus, the advantage of rubbers with microspheres is reduced abrasion, higher tear resistance while maintaining resistance to the action of physically and chemically aggressive environments at the level of rubbers that do not contain microspheres.

In the article two rubber mixtures are studied: rubber 7NO-68-1SK based on a combination of butadiene-nitrile caoutchouc BNKS-18AMN with chloroprene caoutchouc neoprene W and rubber 81-453 based on a combination of butadiene-nitrile caoutchouc BNKS-40AMN, butadiene caoutchouc SKD, butadiene-methylstyrene caoutchouc SKMS-30 ARK and sevilene 11808-340. The purpose of the study was to improve the physical-mechanical and operational properties of both rubber mixtures by using fine powdered schungites Taurit TS-D, Psh-5 and PSH-20 in their composition. To assess the kinetics of vulcanization of rubber mixtures, the following were determined: the minimum and maximum torques; start time, optimum time, time achieving maximum vulcanization rate and maximum of vulcanization rate. To assess the physical-mechanical properties, we determined: the conditional tensile strength; elongation at break; hardness and relative residual deformation after compression. To evaluate the performance properties of rubbers, the following was determined: the change in the relative tensile strength; change in elongation at break and change in mass after aging of vulcanizates in a standard liquid SZHR-1, isooctane + toluene mixture, as well as in gasoline and industrial oil I-20A. It is shown that for the rubber mixture 7-NO-68-1SK a partial replacement of carbon blacks P 803 on the schungite PSH-5 in an amount of 15 parts by weight leads to an improvement in the rheometric parameters, physico-mechanical and operational properties of vulcanizates. For the rubber mixture 81-453, partial replacement of the persil 175 on shungite PSH-5 also allows improving the rheometric properties and increasing the physico-mechanical and operational parameters.

Abstract Carbon blacks can be grouped into different classes according to the way in which their fineness of division relates to different properties in rubber. Within any one class the principal properties vary in a regular manner with particle size. The normal class consists of the furnace carbons, Kosmos (Dixie)-40, Statex, the rubber-grade impingement carbons, and possibly, the color-grade impingement carbons. The subnormal classes consist of thermal carbons and acetylene and lamp blacks. Irrespective of the above classification, the properties which depend more on fineness of division than on other factors are rebound resilience, abrasion resistance, tensile strength and tear resistance. The lower limit of particle diameter for best tensile strength and tear resistance appears to be higher than that for abrasion resistance. B.S.I, hardness and electrical conductivity are properties which depend at least as much on other factors as on particle size. Stiffness (modulus) depends more on other factors than on particle size. Factors modifying the effects of particle size (or specific surface) include the presence of carbon-carbon structures and a reduction in strength of bond in rubber-carbon structures. Carbon black is thought to exist in rubber in four states: agglomerated, flocculated, dispersed, and bonded to the rubber molecules (the reënforcing fraction). Abrasion resistance is regarded as providing the only reliable measure of reënforcement.

Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was fabricated using epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) as a secondary bioplasticizer with dioctyl phthalate (DOP). The PVC/MFA/CB composites were prepared by melt mixing of the plasticized PVC with modified fly ash (MFA), carbon black N330 (CB), and polychloroprene (CR) in a Haake Rheomix mixer using a rotation speed of 50 rpm at 175°C for 6 min and then compressed by Toyoseiki pressure machine under 15 MPa. The effect of ESBO content on morphology, melt viscosity, tensile properties, and flame retardancy of PVC/MFA/CB composites was investigated. The obtained results showed that the incorporation of ESBO has significantly enhanced the processing ability, Young’s modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break of the PVC/MFA/CB composites. The torque of PVC/MFA/CB composites was increased to approximately 12% when 50 wt% of DOP was replaced by ESBO. When ESBO was 20 wt% in comparison with DOP weight, the elongation at break, tensile strength, and Young’s modulus of the composites were increased to 48%, 24%, and 4.5%, respectively. Correspondingly, thermogravimetric analysis results confirmed that ESBO had improved the thermostability of the PVC composites. The ESBO have potential as a secondary bioplasticizer replacement material for DOP owing to their better thermomechanical stability.

The effects of epoxidized palm oil (EPO) content in carbon black filled styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) on tensile strength, elongation at break and crosslink density were investigated. Five different loadings of EPO in parts per hundred rubbers (phr) were used to test the tensile strength of the carbon black filled SBR which showed a decreasing trend as the content of EPO in the vulcanizates increased. In contrast, elongation at break showed the opposite trend where the elongation at break increased as the content of the EPO increased. The SBR vulcanizates with the highest content of EPO gave the highest value of elongation at break which is 2393.56%. In the case of swelling index, it was found to increase as the amount of EPO increased.

Biodegradable polymers became one of the most important materials with large applicability, as they do not generate wastes after life cycle. An important application is food packaging fabricated by injection molding processing. In this paper, we present the investigation of the mechanical properties of some biodegradable polymers based on PLA composites obtained by melting processing and their morphology studied by SEM analyses, in comparison to polypropylene and neat PLA. We found out that tensile strength, elongation at break and Young modulus exhibit values appropriate to injection molding processing and they are very close related to crystalline or amorphous character of the materials.

Abstract The presence of pigments in rubber compounds produces physical properties which are of importance both before and after vulcanization. The ability of the unvulcanized mixture to calender or extrude smoothly with minimum swelling and to maintain shape during air cures, and the tensile strength, tear resistence, and abrasion resistance of vulcanized stocks all are affected. The methods by which these changes are brought about have been considered by many investigators and have been summarized by Parkinson1 and by Shepard, Street, and Park. Since carbon black is the most generally useful reinforcing pigment, it is natural that investigations have been directed particularly to this product. However, while it is recognized that differences exist in the final properties imparted by different pigments, all solid compounding ingredients have something in common. This point can be illustrated by the tear resistance imparted by such a variety of pigments as carbon black, zinc oxide, whiting, and clay. The effect of volume loading on the tear resistance of vulcanized stocks containing these materials, determined by the method of Zimmerman is shown in Figure 1. The effect of solid compounding ingredients can be studied only by considering the compound as a whole, since the properties are determined very largely by the relation between the solid particle and the matrix which surrounds it. Since the introduction of the many types of synthetic rubbers, the complexity of the problem has been greatly increased by the different states of polymerization, which affect the ability of the rubber to conform to the shape of the pigment particle and by the differences in polar nature which affect the type and the degree of adhesion between filler and matrix.

The nanometer carbon black (CB) N220 of different content was employed to prepare carbon black N220/epoxy resin (CB N220/EP) composites by filling-mixing method. The structure of CB N220 and its dispersion in epoxy resin were analyzed by TEM and tensile fracture surface of the composites was analyzed by SEM. Experimental results showed that CB N220 was dispersed in epoxy resin homogenously in the form of CB particles and it formed a good interface with epoxy resin in the presence of coupling agent (KH-550). Using of CB N220 enhanced the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites, for tensile strength, elongation at break, impact strength and flexural strength of the composites filled with 2 wt% CB N220 reached a maximum values( 82Mpa、3%、20 KJ•m-2、107Mpa), a rise of 32.3%、39.6%、88.7%、10.3%, respectively, compared to pristine epoxy resin.

The aim of this work is to prepare, by extrusion, blends of polypropylene (PP)/styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene-g-maleic anhydride (SEBS-g-MA) at the ratios of 100/0, 95/5, 90/10, 85/15 80/20. Then, a amount of 10 wt% of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was added to each polymer blend to prepare (PP/SEBS-g-MA)/CaCO3 composites with effective ratios of (100/0)/10 (95/5)/10, (90/10)/10, (85/15)/15 and (80/20)/10. Morphological and tensile properties of PP/SEBS-g-MA, PP/CaCO3 and (PP/SEBS-g-MA)/ CaCO3 were evaluated and compared. It was found that the presence of SEBS-g-MA improves the particle dispersion and interfacial adhesion. The tensile properties of PP polymer were affected by addition of SEBS-g-MA and/or CaCO3. Indeed, the addition of only SEBS-g-MA the youngs modulus and tensile strength of PP were remarkably decreased and the elongation at break was significantly increased. In contrast, the PP/ CaCO3 composites shows improved youngs modulus and tensile strength and reduced elongation at break in regard to neat PP. A balance between these selected properties was found in (PP/SEBS-g-MA)/CaCO3 composites, while the youngs, tensile strength and elongation at break were together increased. .
