Properties Of Composites

Abstract Effects of filler on mechanical properties of composites result from stress concentrations developed in the matrix and filler particles. Stress concentrations in filler particles relieve stress in the matrix which, under a given load, deforms less than it would in absence of filler. This accounts for high modulus as well as strength reinforcement in filled materials. Stress concentration in the matrix, decreasing with increasing content of filler, is responsible for internal tearing of composites. Magnitude of this internal tearing, which can be measured by volume increase of a specimen under strain, depends on many factors such as: shape of filler, orientation of filler particles, particle size, particle size distribution, nature of boundary layer between filler and matrix, crosslink density and tear properties of the matrix, as well as environmental pressure in the test. High dilatation results in low tensile strength of the composite and conversely if dilatation is suppressed maximum strength reinforcement is obtained.

Tear Properties

In this work we present the influence of different particle size (surface areas: 120,150, 200 and 250 m2/g) and size distribution of precipitated silica on the mechanical properties of Ethylene- Propylene-Diene (EPDM) rubber. The vulcanization system employed was efficient. Compounds were prepared using a Banbury internal mixer. Tensile and tear properties of vulcanized blends were determined according to ASTM D412 and ASTM D624 procedures, respectively. Results show an increasing tendency on tensile properties when particle size decreases, due to the better dispersion of the filler and to a greater interaction with the rubber. Increases of up to 500% on tensile strength and 400% on tear strength were observed. However, there was an incoherent behavior for the silica with surface area of 200 m2/g (Si-200), so size distribution of the aggregates was experimentally determined by a microphotography study. Secondary aggregates size distribution was very different for each type of silica. Aggregates for Si-200 presented a bimodal distribution where the greater frequencies correspond to aggregates with surface area higher than the corresponding values for the Si-120. This fact could explain why the mechanical properties of the EPDM filled with Si-200 are not in between the values of the compounds filled with Si-150 and Si-250.

Tear Properties

Abstract 1. A silane coupling agent (Si-69) reduces the viscosity and increases the scorch lime in silica- and clay-filled EPDM. The cure lime of silica-filled mixes remained unchanged and that of clay-filled mixes increased on addition of Si-69. 2. In the presence of Si-69, the silica-EPDM system exhibits higher polymer-filler interaction than the clay-EPDM system. 3. Vulcanizates containing Si-69 exhibit higher apparent crosslink density and a higher proportion of polysulfidic crosslinks than the control vulcanizates. 4. Vulcanizates containing Si-69 show improved physical properties. Lower tensile and tear properties in vulcanizates with Si-69 at higher filler loadings is explained via a slippage mechanism. 5. SEM studies of fractured surfaces created under tension, tear, flexing, and abrasion have been made, and changes in the strength of the vulcanizates have been correlated with the fractographs.
