To achieve optimal mechanical and dynamical properties, strong interphases must form between different polymers in a blend. The solvent uptake into the structure of a polymer blend, whether organic or inorganic, is a significant concern in polymer-made articles. In this research, several blends and compounds based on styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and ethylene-propylene-diene monomer rubber (EPDM) were prepared. The prepared samples were pre-irradiated by microwaves and immersed in the ethyl acetate (EA) for doing the dynamic swelling experiment. The swelling results were used to determine the molecular diffusion characteristics of the polymer-solvent system. Also, a new method for quantitatively evaluating the interphase between two polymers in a blend was developed using the diffusion characteristics obtained from the swelling experiments. To validate the findings, conventional analytical techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were employed. The diffusion parameters found in the study were used to determine the degradation mechanism of the immersed SBR/EPDM blend in an organic (EA) solvent and also, to develop a new technique for efficient separation of EA from a solution. In addition, the EPDM/SBR blend with a 20/80 wt ratio at 25°C associated with the lowest interphase showed the highest solvent uptake.","PeriodicalId":508656,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Rubber, Plastics and Recycling Technology","volume":"85 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141337816","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}

Therefore, olive husk wastes (OHWs) was subjected to mechanical and chemical treatments in the first and second stages to check its potential as a reinforcement for unsaturated polyester (UPE) to produce PWC. The mechanical treatment involved milling using a ball mill, followed by mechanical sifting to obtain the smallest particle size. Raw OHW (R-OHW) was progressively increased from 0 to 50 phr and incorporated into the UPE resin. The prepared composites were subjected to TOA process using an air-circulating furnace. The unaged and aged samples were characterized with respect to mechanical properties. The highest retention% was displayed by the sample with 30 phr OHW. The sample with 10 and 30 phr content was subjected to hydrogen peroxide (P-OHW) and di-octylphalate (DOP) treatments (D-OHW) under ambient conditions for 24 h, followed by incorporation into the UPE resin. The prepared composites were undergone TOA process, as before. It has been found that the composition with 10 phr OHW displayed the highest retention% in terms of mechanical performance.

The effects of silica and aluminum hydroxide fillers were studied at 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 phr. The results showed that the hardness of the waste-paper particleboard increased with the filler content. Both types of fillers led to a slight increase in the density of the composites. Moreover, the fillers reduced the hygroscopicity and swelling of the particleboard. The use of silica resulted in lower hygroscopicity, providing greater flexural resistance and elastic modulus compared to using aluminum hydroxide. Additionally, the minimum limiting oxygen index (LOI) required to ignite the sample was slightly higher with the addition of both fillers, with silica exhibiting a higher value than filled aluminum hydroxide. Furthermore, the thermal decomposition of the specimens from the TGA test was reduced as both fillers were added, especially at temperatures above 350°C.","PeriodicalId":508656,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Rubber, Plastics and Recycling Technology","volume":"60 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140367175","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}

The effect of hydrotalcite on the thermal stability properties and plasticizing properties of PVC was analyzed. The result suggested that ZnAlLa-maleate-LDHs enhanced the thermal stability, plasticizing properties, and mechanical properties of PVC compared with ZnAlLa-CO3-LDHs. The layer spacing of hydrotalcite was increased with the introduction of maleic acid, such that the entry of Cl− into the interlayer guest was facilitated, and the decomposition of PVC was inhibited. Moreover, the long-term thermal stability mechanism was analyzed using FTIR before and after hydrochloric acid treatment.

Waste rubber at different ratios (0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16%, 20%, and 24%) was used in concrete by replacing fine and coarse aggregates. Sorptivity, electrical resistivity, and acid and sulfate attack tests were conducted on concrete cured for 90 days. Although the capillarity coefficient values increased with the waste rubber replacement ratio increase, a decrease occurred after the 20% waste rubber replacement ratio. In 12% waste rubber-substituted concrete (0.4WR12) with a water/cement ratio of 0.4, the electrical resistivity value (8.3 kΩ.cm) was the highest, and concretes with low permeability could be produced. As a result of the use of 16% waste rubber in the concrete, 75% less compressive strength loss was observed after the acid attack compared to the control concrete. In concrete with a water/cement ratio of 0.5, when the waste rubber ratio increased by up to 16%, the compressive strength losses caused by the sulfate attack decreased dramatically (95.76% less) compared to the control concrete. The rubberized concrete with a water/cement ratio of 0.5 showed high resistance to acid and sulfate attacks. The experiment results showed that 12% to 16% waste rubbers are ideal ratios.

It was chemically treated with hexadecyltrimethoxy silane to obtain low surface energy. The combination of nanoscale roughness and low surface energy gave superhydrophobic properties to DE. A series of treated-DE was made with varying silane percentages to find an optimum silane to DE ratio to get the maximum possible hydrophobicity. The optimum ratio was recorded as 38% w/w, and the treated DE displayed a superhydrophobic water contact angle (WCA) of 152°. The treated-DE was added to the rubber as a filler during the compounding process. The filler was added in varying amounts of 5 phr, 10 phr, 15 phr, and 20 phr to observe the changes in the hydrophobic property. The wettability and morphology of developed vulcanizates were measured using WCA measurements and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, respectively.
