Properties Of Composites

This paper discusses the curing behaviors, mechanical and dynamical properties of composites containing chloroprene rubber (CR) and butadiene rubber (BR) reinforced with mineral fillers. The iron(III) oxide nanoparticles were used as a crosslinking agent of the CR/BR blends. The research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of nano-iron(III) oxide (nano-Fe2O3) as a new crosslinking agent while producing elastomeric materials with good mechanical properties and reduced flammability. The CR/BR (chloroprene rubber/butadiene rubber) blends were filled with silicas from natural resources (chalcedony, Neuburg silica earth) or silicas used in elastomer technology in many fields (aerosil, ultrasil). The results revealed that all composites were characterized by satisfactory tensile strength, tear resistance, and high resistance to fire. The filler dispersion in the elastomer matrix was carried out by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while the possibility of the filler–filler or filler–rubber interaction in the designed compositions was determined using the Payne effect and the Mullins effect.

Organoclay nanoparticles (Cloisite® C10A, Cloisite® C15) and their combination with carbon black (N330) were studied as fillers in chloroprene/natural/butadiene rubber blends to prepare nanocomposites. The effect of filler type and load on the physical mechanical properties of nanocomposites was determined and correlated with its structure, compatibility and cure properties using Fourier Transformed Infrared (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and rheometric analysis. Physical mechanical properties were improved by organoclays at 5–7 phr. Nanocomposites with organoclays exhibited a remarkable increase up to 46% in abrasion resistance. The improvement in properties was attributed to good organoclay dispersion in the rubber matrix and to the compatibility between them and the chloroprene rubber. Carbon black at a 40 phr load was not the optimal concentration to interact with organoclays. The present study confirmed that organoclays can be a reinforcing filler for high performance applications in rubber nanocomposites.

The rheometer curing curves of neat natural rubber (NR) and neat chloroprene rubber (CR) with maleide F (MF) exhibit considerable crosslinking torque at 180 °C. This indicates that MF can crosslink both these rubbers via Alder-ene reactions. Based on this knowledge, MF has been introduced as a co-crosslinking agent for a 50/50 blend of NR and CR in conjunction with accelerated sulfur. The delta (Δ) torque obtained from the curing curves of a blend with the addition of 1 phr MF was around 62% higher than those without MF. As the content of MF increased to 3 phr, the Δ torque was further raised to 236%. Moreover, the mechanical properties, particularly the tensile strength of the blend with the addition of 1 phr MF in conjunction with the accelerated sulfur, was around 201% higher than the blend without MF. The overall tensile properties of the blends cured with MF were almost retained even after ageing the samples at 70 °C for 72 h. This significant improvement in the curing torque and the tensile properties of the blends indicates that MF can co-crosslink between NR and CR via the Diels–Alder reaction.

ABSTRACT To satisfy some special demands of many applications in the fields of aerospace and the electronic industry, low temperature resistant and high electrical insulation chloroprene rubber (CR) was prepared by blending pristine CR with different weight ratios of butadiene rubber (BR). The low temperature resistance, electrical insulation properties, and mechanical properties of CR/BR blends were investigated. With increasing BR content, the low temperature resistance and electrical insulation properties were improved, whereas the tensile strength and elongation at break decreased. For the CR/BR (65/35) blend, filled with SiO2, the brittleness temperature (Tb) was reduced to −61 °C and the high electrical insulation properties were obtained without sacrificing mechanical properties too much. The tan δ plots of CR/BR blends, investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis, also revealed that BR could reduce glass transition temperature (Tg) and improve low temperature resistance of CR. The phase contrast microscope images of CR/BR blends demonstrated that the phase structure of the blends changed with increasing BR content. Furthermore, the fracture surfaces of CR/BR blends, observed by scanning electron microscopy, showed that the compatibility of CR/BR blends was poor although the CR/BR blends were homogeneous in macrostructure.

ABSTRACT Influence of the surface modifying agents (SMAs) polyethylene glycol (PEG), 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES), and bis-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide (TESPT) on properties of silica-filled chloroprene rubber (CR) was investigated. Results reveal that the presence of SMAs greatly improves mechanical and dynamic properties of the silica-filled CR because of the reduced filler–filler interaction and improved rubber–filler interaction as evidenced by the Payne effect and bound rubber content results, respectively. When compared at the same SMA dosage, TESPT gives the best overall vulcanizate properties. This effect is attributed to high coupling efficiency of TESPT and its ability to donate sulfur atoms during vulcanization, leading to the improved filler dispersion, rubber–filler interaction, and cross-link density. APTES gives high coupling efficiency, but because of the lack of sulfur atoms, its performance is slightly inferior to that of TESPT. In contrast, PEG can only reduce filler–filler interaction, with no significant impact on rubber–filler interaction and cross-link density; therefore, PEG provides lower property improvement.

The effects of physical and morphological properties of styrene butadiene rubber/virgin chloroprene rubber blends (SBR/CRv) and styrene butadiene rubber/recycled chloroprene rubber blends (SBR/CRr) were investigated. Both SBR/CRv blends and SBR/CRr blends were prepared using two roll mill at room temperature with blend ratios 95/5, 85/15, 75/25, 65/35 and 50/50. The range size of CRr used in this study was 0.3 0.7 mm. The SBR/CRr blends shows higher value of hardness and crosslink density compared to SBR/CRv blends at all blend ratios. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of tensile fracture surface of SBR/CRr blends at 15 blend ratio illustrated a better adhesion and dispersion of CRr with SBR matrix compared with SBR/CRv blends.

Abstract This paper discusses the role of metal oxides (MeO) in the cross-linking process and useful properties of chloroprene and butadiene rubber (CR/BR) blends. Iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3), iron(II,III) oxide (Fe3O4), silver(I) oxide (Ag2O) or zinc oxide were used. It has found that every proposed metal oxide can be used as a cross-linking agent of the CR/BR blends. The degree of cross-linking was evaluated by means of vulcametric parameters, equilibrium swelling in selected solvents and Mooney–Rivlin elasticity constants. The properties of the cured CR/BR products, such as tensile strength, stress at elongation, tension set under constant elongation and compression set, were also investigated. The results revealed that all CR/BR/MeO vulcanizates were characterized by a high cross-linking degree and satisfying mechanical properties. The most important advantage of obtained rubber goods is very high resistance to flame. The increase in the oxygen index value for the CR/BR/Fe2O3, CR/BR/Fe3O4 and CR/BR/Ag2O vulcanizates compared to the standard cross-linked chloroprene rubber showed that presented metal oxides provided a positive effect on the resistance to flame of the new CR/BR/MeO composites. Satisfactory properties of the studied blends are related to the presence of the interelastomer bonding of both rubbers in the compositions.
