The concentration of bagasse fibers ranges from 20 to 80 wt%. The results indicate that there is deterioration in the properties as fiber concentration increased; however, it becomes significant only beyond 50% (w/w) bagasse fibers in both LDPE and HDPE composites. Also, the data show that this decrease in the properties is more pronounced in HDPE rather than LDPE composites. It can be noticed that enhancing adhesion between fibers and thermoplastics can be achieved by irradiation of the thermoplastic phase prior to mixing at 10 up to 60 kGy; a maximum improvement in the properties is observed at 40 and 10 kGy for LDPE and HDPE, respectively. From the data it can be seen that the increase in the flexural properties is higher than 100%, while it does not exceed 65% for impact toughness. On the other hand, the reduction in water absorption is not more than 5.5%. Also, examining SEM micrographs reveals that there is some sort of adhesion between fibers and thermoplastics phases.","PeriodicalId":15644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elastomers and Plastics","volume":"115 1","pages":"245 - 262"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2009-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74286968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Castor oil is transesterified with pentaerythritol in order to obtain a wide range of polyols. Yucca starch is converted into glycoside through transglycosylation reactions with ethylene glycol and glycerol. The glycosides from starch are then chemically incorporated to the castor oil polyols by a second transesterification reaction to generate a sequence of polyol-glycosides with a high level of polyhydroxyl content. These products are characterized by the hydroxyl value, viscosity, and specific gravity as a function of the glycoside type content and the kind of castor oil polyol prepared. MALDI TOF mass spectroscopy is used to find the mass fraction of glycosides and polyol-glycosides. Polyurethanes are synthesized from the polyol-glycosides by reaction with isophorone diisocyanate, under different NCO/OH molar ratios. The polymer characterization is accomplished by Fourier transform infrared analysis, tensile stress—strain tests, Shore A hardness, thermogravimetric analysis, chemical resistance to solvents, scanning electron microscopy, and dynamic-mechanical thermal analysis.","PeriodicalId":15644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elastomers and Plastics","volume":"112 1","pages":"223 - 244"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2009-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90769615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this objective, a low-toxicity plasticizer derived from dicarboxilate di-isononyl-cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate,- DINCH and another plasticizer derived from ftalate, diethylhexyl phthalate — DEHP, widely employed at an industrial level, albeit with toxicity problems, has been used. The basis of this study is an analysis of the effects of the DINCH and DEHP plasticizers used, and their concentration in the fracture of the plastisol in order to optimize the service response of the material. This is conducted by means of a study of the fracture morphologies of the plastisols, in order to determine the mechanisms which cause the crack and to carry out a classification of the resulting topography of the fracture. This is directly linked to the plasticizer concentration, to the type of plasticizer used, and to the mechanical response obtained from the material.","PeriodicalId":15644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elastomers and Plastics","volume":"42 1","pages":"145 - 161"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2009-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90736138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The crosslinking kinetics is found to be dependent on the amount of GTR in the EVA/GTR blends; the partially crosslinked GTR phase acts as a physical barrier, slowing down the EVA crosslinking rate. Furthermore, activation energies (Ea) and reaction order (n) values suggest that the crosslinking reactions are not restricted to the EVA bulk, but can also occur to some extent at the EVA/GTR interface.","PeriodicalId":15644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elastomers and Plastics","volume":"15 1","pages":"175 - 189"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2009-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84330148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a picture frame analytical model is developed to account for large shear deformation and to calculate the stress and stiffness of the fabric. A mesostructure model which explains the uncured resin impede the structure to deform is also proposed. The picture frame experiment results are presented to validate this model.

The kinetic cyclization of deproteinized natural rubber (DPNR) or purified NR latex effectively performed in latex phase by using trimethylsilyl-trifluoromethane sulphonate or trimethyl silyl triflate (TMSOTF) is studied at various temperatures and times. The cyclized products are confirmed by NMR spectroscopies including one and 2D NMR. The kinetic of cyclization is investigated. It is found that the degree of cyclization in DPNR is a function of cyclization conditions. The rate constant (k) is 200 (s-1) at 100°C based on 95% of regression and the activation energy of cyclization in DPNR latex is 147.66kJ/mol. Some thermodynamic parameters: enthalpy, entropy, and free energy activation of 144.6kJ/mole, -269.11J/mole, and 246.9kJ/mole, respectively, are obtained for the cyclization of DPNR.

Special reference has been given to the effects of blend composition, crosslinking systems, penetrant nature, and temperature on the liquid transport. The solvent uptake was found to decrease with increase in EVA content in the blends. The blends were crosslinked by three crosslinking systems namely, sulfur, dicumyl peroxide (DCP), and a mixture consisting of sulfur and peroxide. The DCP crosslinked system exhibited the lowest solvent uptake. These observations have been correlated with the phase morphology of the blends using scanning electron micrographs. The values of the kinetic parameters of permeability and molar mass between crosslinks have been found to be complementary to the observations.
