摘要
采用液体天然橡胶(liquid natural rubber)为增容剂,基于湿法混炼工艺制备天然橡胶/白炭黑(W(NR/SiO_2))复合材料。利用FT-IR、SEM、万能拉力机分别对复合材料的微观结构、拉伸断裂形貌及力学性能进行分析,通过Mooney-Rivilin方程和界面相互作用方程对橡胶-填料界面相互作用定量计算,并探讨了LNR的增容机理。结果表明,使用LNR增容后,NR与白炭黑两相界面变得模糊,断面表现为韧性断裂;硫化胶力学性能在LNR改性后得到改善,白炭黑用量为60phr时表现最为明显,拉伸强度提高了25.73%;不同方程计算结果表明,白炭黑用量一定情况下,使用LNR增容后复合材料两相界面相互作用增强。LNR具有良好的增容效果,复合材料良好的相容性是LNR与NR和白炭黑两相同时发生作用形成增容界面的结果。
Natural rubber/silica composites(NR/SiO_2) was prepared by wet mixing technology with liquid natural rubber(LNR) as compatibilizer.Micro-Structure,tensile fracture surface,mechanical properties and fillerrubber interaction were studied by scanning electron microscopy,FT-IR spectroscopy and universal tensile machine.The rubber-filler interaction was evaluated by Mooney-Rivilin equation and interfacial interaction equation quantitatively.The compatibilizing mechanism of LNR for W(NR/SiO_2) composites was also investigated.The results showed that the SiO_2 particles are tightly encompassed by NR in the presence of LNR and fracture surfaces appeared toughness fracture;good mechanical properties was observed,the tensile strength increase by25.73% when silica was 60phr;the equations showed that filler-rubber interaction have great enhancements under certain amount of silica.It is reveal that LNR has better compatibility,which is attributed to LNR reaction with both NR and SiO_2 to form compatibilizing interface.
