The stable nitrile N-oxides enable the efficient 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to both internal olefin and nitrile groups incorporating into versatile elastomers such as acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), natural rubber (NR), and ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) to give the corresponding hetero aromatics-containing polymers. The reaction features i) catalyst-free procedure, ii) versatile applicability to various elastomers, iii) high yield, iv) high regio-selectivity, v) no by-product, and vi) remarkable acceleration of reaction rate under solvent-free condition.

Reversible deformation of the domain and the spherulite in polyurethane elastomers were revealed by the reversible change of the light scattering patterns during the stretching and recovery processes. Hv light scattering appeared at low strain and the intensity increased with strain in cross-linked elastomers before the strain-induced crystallization, suggesting that the local ordering is generated at low strain and the ordering increases with strain before the strain-induced crystallization. The orientation of rubber in the two-phase plastic/rubber polymer blends can be estimated separately by analyzing the Hv light scattering caused by the local ordering before the strain-induced crystallization.","PeriodicalId":405949,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Rubber Industry,Japan","volume":"260 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131851351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These results were attributed to the difference of the reactivity with polymers and silane coupling agents, where the change of tanδ of green and vulcanized compounds was biggest with MPTES and smallest with OTES. In other words, it was suggested that the lower tanδ of MPTES was caused by higher degree of interaction between the silane coupling agent and the polymer.","PeriodicalId":405949,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Rubber Industry,Japan","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129681715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most interesting shear effects is a shear-induced structural transition from the lamellar to the multilamellar vesicle. In this review, we show two topics related to the non-equilibrium structural formation phenomena under shear; the influence of the triblock copolymer on the shear-induced multilamellar vesicle formation, and the shear quench-induced discontinuous size change of the multilamellar vesicle. In the first topic, we study the effect of the triblock copolymer on the shear-induced lamellar-to-multilamellar vesicle formation. Shear-induced multilamellar vesicle formation behavior is quite sensitive to the interaction between grafted polymer chains and surfactant bilayer membranes. Entropy based contribution to the modulus of bilayer controls the shear-induced multilamellar vesicle formation behavior. In the second topic, we study how the kinetic pathway on the size change process of the multilamellar vesicle is decided under shear. These studies will give us a hint how the soft matter systems change their structure under non-equilibrium states.","PeriodicalId":405949,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Rubber Industry,Japan","volume":"274 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116499103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can be considered that the residual DCP in DCP-crosslinked EPDMs accelerated the production of peroxide and hydroperoxide. The peroxide and hydroperoxide are extremely unstable, thereby causing various degradation reactions such as production of radicals, chain scission, and oxidation reactions of EPDM polymer.","PeriodicalId":405949,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Rubber Industry,Japan","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123466329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
