Method for evaluation of non-oil-extended solution-polymerized isoprene rubber (IR)

The work studies vulcanization characteristics of elastomers based on isoprene rubber filled with carbon black N330 and boron nitride (BN). The influence of the boron nitride (BN) concentration on technological, dynamic, physical and mechanical properties of elastomers has been researched. The application of boron nitride for producing rubber with good properties has been considered. With a gradual increase of the inert filler BN concentration up to 35%, a decrease in the curing rate by 33% and polymer cross-link density by 26% is observed. Moreover, the start time of vulcanization increases by almost 300%, the optimal curing time by 200%.

In this paper, we prepared foaming silicon rubber (PVMQ) /isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR) composites with chemical foaming technology. The DMA tests results showed that these foaming materials have effective damping characteristics in a wide temperature range. With the special vibrator, we found that the PVMQ/IIR foams that we prepared were the damping materials which has wide frequency domain, because they can keep high damping ratio in a wide frequency domain. When the preloading was between 1.0 mm and 1.7 mm, the structural damping did not change obviously. According to tests, we found that the damping ratio of these foams was fit to the simple equation .

A method is proposed that allows us to obtain the values of the rate constants (CR) of the processes of mechanodestruction (mechanical cracking) of kм, oxidative destruction of kо, and recombination of kр macromolecules, as well as the mass fractions of the corresponding fractions of φм, φо, and φр,r involved in the plasticization process (P) of SKI-3 isoprene rubber. The method is based on the selection of the values of these parameters that correspond to the previously obtained experimental data, using the previously obtained recurrent equations and a specially developed program. The dependences of the CR on the time P at 30oC are obtained, which allows us to describe the kinetics of the processes accompanying P at this temperature, and the changes in molecular mass (MM) in this process. It is shown that constant values of CR are established at large times of P. Refined explanations of the nature of the kinetics of the CR change at P are proposed. The MM value of SKI-3 macromolecules that have not undergone destruction is calculated, depending on the time of plasticization.
