Abstract

ABSTRACT The present work examines the effect of two different specific surface areas of highly dispersible silica (HDS)-reinforced epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) composites. The influences of different blend ratio between ENRs consisting 25 and 50 mol% of epoxidation-based (ENR-25/ENR-50) composites was studied in detail. The primary objective is to investigate the interfacial area of HDS surface involved in filler-to-rubber interaction mechanisms for the better reinforcement. Notable improvement in overall properties of these green composites are corroborated with various meticulous characterization including cure characteristics, specific bound rubber content, physicomechanical, dynamic mechanical properties, etc. Increasing the specific surface area of HDS and their subsequent interface with ENR matrix invokes its superior dispersion. Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) has been used to analyze the particles network and clusters establishment in green composites. The present SAXS method provides a unique insight into the cluster formation according to the Beaucage model. However, SAXS results demonstrate that particles networks can be effectively suppressed by increasing specific surface area of HDS. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

高分散性二氧化硅增强环氧化天然橡胶化合物的界面特性研究

摘要:本研究考察了两种不同比表面积的高分散二氧化硅(HDS)增强环氧化天然橡胶(ENR)复合材料的影响。详细研究了环氧基(ENR-25/ENR-50)复合材料的共混比为25和50 mol%时对环氧基复合材料性能的影响。主要目的是研究HDS表面的界面面积参与填料与橡胶的相互作用机制，以获得更好的增强。这些绿色复合材料的整体性能得到了显著改善，包括固化特性、比结合橡胶含量、物理力学性能、动态力学性能等。增加HDS的比表面积及其随后与ENR基体的界面，可使其具有较好的分散性。利用小角x射线散射(SAXS)分析了绿色复合材料中颗粒网络和团簇的形成。目前的SAXS方法根据Beaucage模型提供了对星团形成的独特见解。然而，SAXS结果表明，增加HDS的比表面积可以有效地抑制粒子网络。图形抽象
