Abstract Foamed rubber with a mixed cellular microstructure is compressible material used for various sealing applications in the automotive industry. For technical optimization, sufficiently precise model required. Here description porous elastic and viscoelastic response of low density foamed proposed adapted to ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)-based rubber. The based on spherical shel...

Immiscible blends of ethylene?propylene?diene?monomer (EPDM) and polyoxymethylene (POM), when EPDM is the major phase were compatibilized on addition an ionomer, poly(ethylene?co?methacrylic acid). The inclusion ionomer reduced interfacial tension between two phases, such that diameter POM domains significantly to 0.5 2 ?m, typical required toughen ductile polymers. mechanical properties result...

In this work, rubber nanocomposites based on natural rubber/ethylene propylene diene monomer (NR/EPDM) blends and reinforced with nanosilica (NS) in combination carbon black (CB) barium sulfate (BS) were prepared by melt blending method a Brabender internal mixer. The appropriate contents of NS CB for reinforcing the NR/EPDM are 10 30 phr (parts per hundred rubber), respectively. material has b...

Industry standards for shielded medium-voltage cables (5–46 kV) have recently been revised, changing the dc test voltages for field tests and test durations and limiting tests to newly installed cables. The following industry groups’ specifications and standards provide different guidelines for dc field tests for cross-linked polyethylene and ethylene propylene rubber insulated cables: IEEE, In...

Abstract As the key components of sealing applications, rubber seals are subject to complicated environmental conditions during service lifetime. In this study, aging three typical materials, ethylene–propylene–diene monomer rubber, liquid silicone and fluorine was tested under different high- low-temperature cycle environments. The experimental results confirm that reciprocating temperature ca...

The main objective of the current research work is to explore effect nanosilica particles on compound EPDM/SBR-SiO2 (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer/styrene-butadiene rubber-nanosilica). composite EPDM/SBR with and without silane coupling agent was processed using an open mill mixer. are prepared in laboratory were used as reinforcing material rubber composites. cure characteristics, mechanica...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of ingestion exposure of lead by particle sizes of crumb rubber in artificial turf filling material with consideration of bioavailability. METHODS This study estimated the ingestion exposure by particle sizes (more than 250 um or less than 250 um) focusing on recyclable ethylene propylene diene monomer crumb rubber being used as arti...

In propylene (C3) polymerization with Ziegler-Natta catalyst, not only internal donor but also external is very important to make isotactic polypropylene (PP) higher yield. Most propylene-based polymers have been commercially produced catalysts combined dialkyl-dialkoxy silane compounds (R2Si(OR)2) such as C-donor, P-donor, and D-donor donors. this paper, we will introduce the performance amino...
