The different amount of hydrophilic hydroxyl group, including 3, 5, 7 and 10 wt.% copoly (styrene-co - divinyl benzene – co - 2-hydroxylethylenemethacrylate) (poly (St-co-DVB- co -HEMA) s) nanoparticles were synthesized via microemulsion polymerization in the present paper. The average size of the poly (St-co-DVB-co-HEMA) s was ca. 44 nm after zetasizer (DLS) measurement and SEM observation. The characteristic peaks at 3200 ~3600 cm-1 in FTIR was assigned at hydroxyl group of HEMA unit. The NBR/poly (St-co-DVB-co-HEMA) s composites films with 250 μm thickness were prepared simply via latex mixing and followed by spinning coating. The mechanical properties of the poly (St-co-DVB-co-HEMA) s/rubber nanocomposites, including the tensile strength, modulus and elongation, were increased with that of increasing of poly (St-co-DVB-co-HEMA) s adding. In addition, as the poly (St-co-DVB-co-HEMA) s nanoparticles carried out with constant St/HEMA molar ratio of 97:3 and the DVB content in 10 wt.%, the elongation at break that up to more than 3500% and the ultimate stress increased from 0.2 MPa to 0.6 MPa. The poly (St-co-DVB-co-HEMA) s nanoparticles prepared by emulsion polymerization could be successfully enhanced the mechanical properties of rubber latex.

ABSTRACTNanocomposites of α-hydroxy polyester, polylactide (PLA) and β-hydroxy polyester, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) with layered silicates have been successfully prepared by melt extrusion of PLA and PHB with organically modified montmorillonite (MMT) and fluoromica. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposites are improved compared to the neat polymers. Storage modulus increase up to 40% compared with the pure polymers by adding only 2–3 wt% nanoclay. Biodegradation can be controlled by the choice of the nanoclay used.

This study was undertaken to optimize the vulcanization conditions and explore the effect of residual peroxide in the peroxide vulcanization of natural rubber. The study was followed through the kinetics of the vulcanization reaction at various temperatures viz. 150,155,160 and 165°C. Dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was used as the crosslinking agent. The Monsanto Rheometer was used to investigate the different crosslinking stages and vulcanization kinetics. The thermal decomposition of peroxide followed a first order free radical decomposition reaction. Half-lives at various temperatures were determined. The percentage of residual peroxide was calculated from the cure kinetic data. The effect of residual peroxide on mechanical properties was studied at various peroxide levels and also by extending the cure time (from t90 to t95 and then to t100). Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus and compression set (70 and 100°C) were measured. Excess peroxide was found to cause a high compression set at elevated temperature and the cure time was selected to achieve minimum residual peroxide in the product. Results indicate that peroxide concentration is the dominant factor controlling the crosslink density and hence the properties of the vulcanizates.
