A set of poly(isobornyl methacrylate)s (PIBOMA) having molar mass in the range of 26,000–283,000 g mol−1 was prepared either via RAFT process or using free radical polymerization. These linear polymers demonstrated high glass transition temperatures (Tg up to 201 °C) and thermal stability (Tonset up to 230 °C). They were further applied as reinforcing agents in the preparation of the vulcanized rubber compositions based on poly(styrene butadiene rubber) (SBR). The influence of the PIBOMA content and molar mass on the cure characteristics, rheological and mechanical properties of rubber compounds were studied in detail. Moving die rheometry revealed that all rubber compounds filled with PIBOMA demonstrated higher torque increase values ΔS in comparison with rubber compositions without filler, independent of PIBOMA content or molar mass, thus confirming its reinforcing effect. Reinforcement via PIBOMA addition was also observed for vulcanized rubbers in the viscoelastic region and the rubbery plateau, i.e. from −20 to 180 °C, by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. Notably, while at temperatures above ~125 °C, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) rapidly loses its ability to provide reinforcement due to softening/melting, all PIBOMA resins maintained their ability to reinforce rubber matrix up to 180 °C. For rubber compositions containing 20 phr of PIBOMA, both tensile strength and elongation at break decreased with increasing PIBOMA molecular weight. In summary, PIBOMA, with its outstanding high Tg among known poly(methacrylates), may be used in the preparation of advanced high-stiffness rubber compositions, where it provides reinforcement above 120 °C and gives properties appropriate for a range of applications.

AbstractThe study was focused on the investigation of trans-polyoctylene (TOR) influence on cross-linking as well as mechanical and rheological properties of rubber compounds based on styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). SBR was compounded with different proportions of TOR in the concentration range from 0 to 30 phr. Integration of TOR into rubber leads to the prolongation of the optimum curing time and scorch time and thus the decrease of the curing rate. Higher content of TOR led to less viscous rubber due to the plasticizing effect. Cross-link density of vulcanizates was reduced, which correlates with higher elongation at break. Tensile strength and hardness of vulcanizates increased with the increasing TOR content, probably due to the increasing amount of the crystalline phase.

Aromatic Oils

In recent years, the increasing concern on the toxicity of highly aromatic oils has been incentive to the development of rubber process oils (RPOs) which are more environmentally-friendly. Many alternative eco-friendly RPOs have been tested with the aims of selecting the most suitable replacement for these highly aromatic oils. As a consequence, in order to achieve both environmental friendliness and effective rubber compounding, the aromatic content in RPOs must be optimised. In the present study, the experiments have been carried out to investigate the effects of aromatic and polycyclic aromatic compounds (PCAs) contents in RPOs on processability and mechanical properties of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds and vulcanisates. Results obtained suggest that the presence of RPOs leads to a decreased compound viscosity, and thus an enhanced processability. By incorporating the RPOs into SBR compounds, some mechanical properties including elongation at break and tear strength of cured SBR can be improved, particularly for the RPOs with high aromatic content. It is believed to be attributed to the increased compatibility between RPOs and SBR matrix. Nevertheless, the aromatic and PCA contents play little or insignificant role on the crosslink density and bulk viscosity of rubber compounds as well as hardness and compression set of vulcanisates.

Abstract Migration of oils, curatives, antioxidants, and other compounding materials in a vulcanized rubber matrix is a general phenomenon. A continuing, long range program has been undertaken in these laboratories to understand better this effect, in order that ultimately the compounder can predict, from a knowledge of the molecular nature of the penetrant and the physico-chemical properties of the cured matrix, the distribution of the various components during the service life of the finished rubber product. A sensitive radiotracer approach with earbon—14 is being used to study this system. Earlier work in this program has established the general value of the diffusion coefficient for whole paraffinic oils and for aromatic oils and their fractions. In general, this has shown that moderate variations in the molecular composition of the aromatic portions of the oils have only minor effects on these migration rates. Using similar computer derived diffusion coefficients, the current data indicate that naphthenic molecules migrate at equal to slightly higher rates than aromatic molecules of similar boiling points. Thermal diffusion as a mode of separation of the oil gives fractions showing more selectivity (larger differences in migration rates) than the formerly used silica gel procedures. Variations in carbon black type and loading levels have no detectable effect on migration. The most important factor in diffusion is the polymer matrix, which for the oils studied is in the order : polybutadiene (D≃6.4×10−7 cm2 sec−1 at 100° C), natural rubber (D≃3.5×10−7 cm2 sec−1), ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (D≃2.6×10−7 cm2 sec−1) and styrene—butadiene rubber (D≃1.9×10−7 cm2 sec−1). Activation energies for the diffusion process were PBR, 3.1 ; NR, 7.8; EPDM, 10.3; and SBR, 9.9 (energies in kilocalories per mole).

Abstract Ground tire rubber (GTR) was devulcanized by microwaves at the same heating rate (constant power) and different times of exposure. The devulcanized rubber (DV-R) and untreated GTR were characterized physically and thermally. Composite materials were prepared from different proportions of the GTR, which was used as a filler, and the DV-R, which was used as part of the styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) matrix, and by varying the exposure time of the microwave power. These composites were compared with a control sample that was prepared from virgin SBR. The sol content (soluble part) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses of the devulcanized samples were examined to define the efficiency of devulcanization. The cure characteristics and tensile properties of the SBR composites were researched. In this study, it was found that using DV-R as part of the rubber matrix produced much better properties than using GTR as a filler, thereby showing the significant benefits of microwave devulcanization. At the DV-R content of 50 phr, the elongation at break of the DV-R 5 min/SBR composites increased to 445.06% from 217.25% for the GTR/SBR composites, i.e., the elongation at break was enhanced by 105% by the devulcanization of GTR. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs displayed a better interface coherence between the DV-R 5 min and SBR matrix than the GTR/SBR composites.

The ultrasonic treatment of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)/butadiene rubber (BR) 50/50 blend in single screw extruder was carried out at amplitudes up to 10 μm. The untreated and treated SBR/BR blends were mixed with carbon black (CB), silica, and silica/silane to prepare 50/50/60 compounds. It was found that ultrasonic power consumption increased and die pressure reduced with the increase of ultrasonic amplitude, indicating a potential to increase extrusion output rate with the aid of ultrasound. Molecular weight of blends treated at 3.5 μm increased, and high molecular weight tail was observed at 5, 7.5, and 10 μm. Solvent extraction experiments showed the formation of gel in blends treated at 7.5 and 10 μm. No gel was observed in blends untreated and treated at 3.5 and 5 μm. SBR/BR/silica vulcanizates prepared from the blend treated at 5 μm showed the reduced loss tangent at −30°C, 0°C, and 60°C, predicting a lower snow, wet traction, and rolling resistance. Reduced loss tangent after ultrasonic treatment was a result of reduced filler flocculation. The tensile strength and elongation at break of all treated SBR/BR and SBR/BR/CB vulcanizates treated at 3.5 and 5 μm increased. Modulus 100% elongation (M100) of vulcanizates prepared from SBR/BR/silica treated at 5 μm was also increased.

Abstract In this work, composites made from styrene-butadiene rubber and short fibers were prepared by mixing and investigated. The influence on the vulcanization process and tensile strength properties has been studied and compared with compounds filled with carbon black. The presence of fibers gave shorter curing time and led to a slight increase in tensile strength but decreased the elongation at break of the compound.

X Ray Absorption

The vulcanized styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) was studied using X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES). The effect of the sulfur containing molecules left over in the sample on the precision of the sulfur K-edge XANES spectrum was focused. The six rubber compounds used here were vulcanized with different curing systems including convention, semi-efficiency and efficiency. For each compound, the measurements were preformed on two different samples which were the untreated and treated chloroform samples. The results showed when compounds were cured with conventional or semi-efficient vulcanization system, the XANES spectra between the untreated and treated sample was changed with very high sulfur to accelerator ratio. On the other hand, the tremendous dissimilarity was observed when compounds were cured with the efficient vulcanization system. Thus the sample treatment was necessary when using XANES to identify sulfur crosslink.

The improvement of mechanical properties of polymer-based nanocomposites is usually obtained through a strong polymer–silica interaction. Most often, precipitated silica nanoparticles are used as filler. In this work, we study the synergetic effect occurring between dual silica-based fillers in a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)/polybutadiene (PBD) rubber matrix. Precipitated Highly Dispersed Silica (HDS) nanoparticles (10 nm) have been associated with spherical Stöber silica nanoparticles (250 nm) and anisotropic nano-Sepiolite. By imaging filler at nano scale through Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy, we have shown that anisotropic fillers align only in presence of a critical amount of HDS. The dynamic mechanical analysis of rubber compounds confirms that this alignment leads to a stiffer nanocomposite when compared to Sepiolite alone. On the contrary, spherical 250 nm nanoparticles inhibit percolation network and reduce the nanocomposite stiffness.
