Abstract

In this study, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer/styrene-butadiene rubber (EPDM/SBR) nanocomposites were prepared using a two-roll mill mixing method, incorporating a hybrid filler of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The composites were evaluated for their cure characteristics, mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, compression set, swelling resistance, and crosslinking density. The results indicated that as the hybrid filler content increased, minimum torque, maximum torque, delta torque, and cure rate index decreased, whereas scorch time and optimum cure time increased. Mechanical testing revealed that tensile strength and stress at 100% elongation improved up to a filler concentration of 4 phr but declined beyond this level. Hardness and tear strength showed a continuous increase with higher filler loading, while elongation at break and rebound resilience decreased. Additionally, compression set increased with rising filler content. Swelling resistance and abrasion resistance were optimized at 4 phr of hybrid filler but deteriorated when the filler concentration exceeded this threshold.

多面体低聚硅氧烷/多壁碳纳米管（MWCNT/POSS）杂化填料在乙丙二烯单体/苯乙烯丁二烯橡胶（EPDM/SBR）纳米复合材料中的制备及性能

采用双辊混炼法制备了乙烯-丙烯-二烯单体/苯乙烯-丁二烯橡胶（EPDM/SBR）纳米复合材料，并将多面体低聚硅氧烷（POSS）和多壁碳纳米管（MWCNT）作为杂化填料。对复合材料的固化特性、力学性能、耐磨性、压缩集、抗膨胀性和交联密度进行了评价。结果表明：随着杂化填料含量的增加，最小转矩、最大转矩、增量转矩和固化率指数降低，焦化时间和最佳固化时间增加；力学测试表明，100%伸长率下的拉伸强度和应力在填充剂浓度为4 phr时有所提高，但超过此水平后就会下降。随着填料负荷的增加，材料的硬度和撕裂强度不断增加，而断裂伸长率和回弹回弹率下降。此外，压缩集随着填料含量的增加而增加。混合填料的抗膨胀性和耐磨性在4 phr时达到最佳，但当填料浓度超过该阈值时，其抗膨胀性和耐磨性就会下降。

期刊介绍： The journal Silicon is intended to serve all those involved in studying the role of silicon as an enabling element in materials science. There are no restrictions on disciplinary boundaries provided the focus is on silicon-based materials or adds significantly to the understanding of such materials. Accordingly, such contributions are welcome in the areas of inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, nanoscience, environmental science, electronics and optoelectronics, and modeling and theory. Relevant silicon-based materials include, but are not limited to, semiconductors, polymers, composites, ceramics, glasses, coatings, resins, composites, small molecules, and thin films.
