Novel Bifunctional Additive for Rubbers: Cyclic Butylene Terephthalate Oligomer
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the effect of a novel bifunctional additive [cyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT)] was investigated on the rheological, curing and mechanical properties of natural rubber (NR), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), oil extended styrene butadiene rubber (oSBR), acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM). Results showed, that CBT acted as an effective lubricant, decreasing the viscosity of the raw mixtures significantly. Furthermore CBT recrystallized upon cooling and acted as semi-active filler, slightly increased the mechanical properties of the tested non straincrystallizable synthetic rubbers. The polarity of the rubber matrix had a strong effect on the adhesion between rubber and CBT, the higher the polarity of the rubber, the better the adhesion between the two phases was.

Phase Morphology and Mechanical Properties of Cyclic Butylene Terephthalate Oligomer-Containing Rubbers: Effect of Mixing Temperature
In this work, the effect of mixing temperature (Tmix) on the mechanical, rheological, and morphological properties of rubber/cyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT) oligomer compounds was studied. Apolar (styrene butadiene rubber, SBR) and polar (acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, NBR) rubbers were modified by CBT (20 phr) for reinforcement and viscosity reduction. The mechanical properties were deter...

This work encompasses the development of low-viscosity cyclic oligomer underfill formulations that cure without heat evolution. Boron nitride, silica-coated aluminum nitride, and alumina ceramic powders were used as fillers in cyclic butylene terephthalate oligomer melts. The melts were heated with a suitable catalyst to induce polymerization. The effects of the filler type and composition on t...

The ring-opening polymerization of cyclic butylene terephthalate into poly(butylene terephthalate) (pCBT) in the presence of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is an effective method for the preparation of polymer nanocomposites. The inclusion of RGO nanoflakes dramatically affects the crystallization of pCBT, shifting crystallization peak temperature to higher temperatures and, overall, increasing t...

Polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) blend was prepared by melt processing. The PCL/PBT blend showed similar morphology with that of pure PCL.The crystallization temperature of PCL was increased by the incorporation of PBT. It was also observed that the peak height in the DSC thermograms decreased and then disappeared by adding 40 % or more PBT which might be due to...
متن کاملThermo stabilisation of poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)
Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) PBAT is a synthetic biodegradable polymer commonly used for plastic film production from neat polymer or nanocomposites. The PBAT is submitted to high temperatures and shear rate during its processing. In the present study, the thermo stabilisation of PBAT by the addition of two types of stabilisers was studied using a torque rheometer at 60 rpm and two ...
