Graphene has been considered an ideal nanoscale reinforced phase for preparing high-performance composites, but the poor compatibility and weak interfacial interaction with the matrix have limited its application. Here a highly effective and environmentally friendly method for the functionalization of graphene is proposed through an interaction between as-exfoliated graphene and (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (KH550), in which 1-butylsulfonate-3-methylimidazolium bisulfate (BSO3HMIm)(HSO4) ionic-liquids-modified graphene was prepared via an electrochemical exfoliation of graphite in (BSO3HMIm)(HSO4) solution, then (BSO3HMIm)(HSO4)-modified graphene as a precursor was reacted with amine groups of KH550 for obtaining (BSO3HMIm)(HSO4)/KH550-functionalized graphene. The final products as filler into carboxylated acrylonitrile‒butadiene rubber (XNBR) improve the dynamic mechanical properties. The improvement in the dynamic mechanical properties of the nanocomposite mainly depends on high interfacial interaction and graphene’s performance characteristics, as well as a good dispersion between functionalized graphene and the XNBR matrix.

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.

The thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of random butyl acrylate- and plasticized ethyl acrylate-based vinylpyridinium ionomers have been investigated. The properties of the ionomers were found to be dependent on the glass transition temperature of the matrix material. Ionomers having a glass transition temperature lower than ca. 25 °C exhibited all the features associated with the presence of phase-separated microdomains or clusters while the materials with higher glass transition temperatures were not. It was also observed that the dispersion associated with the vinylpyridinium clusters for a butyl acrylate-based ionomer with 12 mol% of ionic units occurs at ca. 25 °C. This value is very close to that observed previously by Otocka and Eirich in their study of a butadiene-based vinylpyridinium ionomer with the same ion content. Keywords: ionomers, plasticization, clustering, glass transition, dynamic mechanical properties.

This work reports the preparation of SiO 2 and TiO 2/poly (vinyl butyral) nanocomposites with enhanced dynamic mechanical properties. Silica and titania nanoparticles were introduced in the matrix as the neat powder and as colloidal sol using the melt mixing process. Composites reinforced with colloidal sol silica and titania showed higher mechanical properties than the ones reinforced with as-received particles. When sol TiO 2 particles are used, the highest increase of storage modulus of about 54% is obtained for 5 wt% loading, while for sol SiO 2, the storage modulus increases with the addition of nanosilica with the largest increase of about 99% for 7 wt% loading. In addition, nanocomposites were introduced within Kevlar/PVB composites. The addition of 5 wt% silica and titania colloidal sol lead to the remarkable increase of the storage modulus for about 98 and 65%, respectively. Largest contribution of nanoreinforcements in lowering the glass transition temperature is observed for 7 wt% loading of TiO 2 and SiO 2 colloidal sol.

Abstract In the high-elastic temperature range the molecular weight has a considerable effect on the dynamic mechanical properties of linear (uncrosslinked) SKD cis-1, 4-butadiene rubber. In this temperature range an unequivocal correlation exists between the rebound resilience at a given temperature and the viscosity average molecular weight, and the determination of the resilience can therefore be recommended as a rapid method of finding the molecular weight of SKD. A similarity is found in the dynamic mechanical behavior of rubbers of different molecular weights in the high-elastic temperature range. In the low-temperature range an increase in the molecular weight of crystalline polymers of SKD is accompanied by an impairment of their elastic properties.
