Abstract:

The effects of carboxylation rate and mass ratio of rubber to plastic on the mechanical properties, rheological properties, oil resistance, and hot air aging properties of dynamically vulcanized carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR)/polyamide 12 (PA12) thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) were investigated. The results indicated that the TPV exhibited tensile strength of 20.3 MPa and elongation at break of 184 % when the carboxyl group content of XNBR had 7 wt% and the mass ratio of rubber to plastic was 50/50, presenting optimal comprehensive mechanical properties. Its mechanical properties increased at first and then tended to decrease with an increase in the mass ratio of rubber to plastic. Rheological results indicated that the complex viscosity and storage modulus of the TPV increased with an increase in the mass ratio of rubber to plastic. The oil resistance and air aging resistance of the TPV decreased with an increase in the mass ratio of rubber to plastic and reached optimal values at the mass ratio of 40 to 60. The TPV containing a higher carboxylation rate in XNBR exhibited better aging resistance.

Key words: carboxylated nitrile rubber, polyamide 12, thermoplastic vulcanizate, mechanical property, rheological behavior, oil resistance, aging resistance
