    Attempts to enhance dispersion degree of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) in nitrile rubber (NBR) matrix, and to improve the NBR-CNT interaction were carried out by different approaches, namely, sonication and chemical treatments of CNTs... with nitric acid (HNO3), nitricsulfuric acid mixture (HNO3/H2SO4) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4). Rheological behavior of NBR/CNT composites was monitored as an indication of filler dispersion degree using the Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA2000) via

The size of the NR dispersed phase is approximately independent of the rotor speed, but it decreases with increasing blending time up to 25 min. With a further increase in the blending time the NR... dispersed phase size decreases. The results for the relative tensile strength, which is an indicator of oil resistance, are in agreement with those of the blend morphology, indicating that the oil resistance in a 20/80 NR/NBR blend strongly depends

    viscosity of the blends depended more strongly on blending time than rotor speed. Size of the NR dispersed phase was approximately independent of rotor speed but decreased with increasing blending time up to 25 min. As blending time further increased, NR... dispersed phase size increased. The results of relative tensile strength, which is an indicator for oil resistance, in this study were in agreement with those of the blend morphology, indicating that the oil resistance in 20/80 NR/NBR blend depended strongly

    Effects of silanization temperature and silica type on properties of silica-filled solution styrene butadiene rubber (SSBR) for passenger car tire tread compounds
    (2016-05-05) Puchong Thaptong; Pongdhorn Sae-Oui; Chakrit Sirisinha; Mahidol University; Thailand National Science and Technology Development Agency
    © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Influence of silanization temperature on properties of silica-filled solution polymerized styrene butadiene rubber was investigated. Two types of silica, i.e., highly dispersible silica (HDSi) and conventional silica... (CSi), were compared. Results show that the increased silanization temperature leads to the enhanced rubber-filler interaction, filler dispersion, and cross-link density giving rise to the improvement in vulcanizate properties such as modulus, heat

    Relationship among Phase Morphology, Oil Resistance, and Thermal Aging Properties in CPE/NR Blends: Effect of Blending Conditions
    (2003-12-27) Chakrit Sirisinha; Pongdhorn Saeoui; Jantagarn Guaysomboon; Mahidol University; Thailand National Metal and Materials Technology Center
    The CPE/NR blends with blend ratio of 50/50% by weight were prepared with various blending conditions. The resistance to oil and thermal aging of the blends was investigated and correlated with phase morphology. The NR dispersed phase size in blends... was found to decrease with increasing rotor speed up to 45 rpm and subsequently level off at higher rotor speeds. With increasing mixing time at a given rotor speed, NR dispersed phase size reached a minimum and increased again with a further increase

The success of ZMS preparation is evidenced by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic results, in which a new absorption peak of the CS stretching vibration of dixanthate is observed, and by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS...) results in which the two new elements (sulphur and zinc) can be detected. Compared to the unmodified silica (UMS), the ZMS possesses smaller agglomerate size and gives superior dispersion when incorporated into a natural rubber matrix. The enhancement

    Effects of mixing parameters and their interactions on properties of carbon black filled styrene-butadiene rubber

    are analyzed using response surface methodology. Results reveal that the dispersion index, Payne effect, and tensile properties are not linearly related to mixing time and filler loading but are linearly related to rotor speed and fill factor. The effect... of mixing time on dispersion index and Payne effect depends strongly on the levels of rotor speed and filler loading. Increasing the rotor speed or filler loading reduces the effect of mixing time on dispersion index and, thus, on the Payne effect. Among

    Mixing efficiency in co-rotating batch mixer for preparation of NR/EPDM blends
    (2012-03-15) Anont Chaisuriyathepkul; Krisda Suchiva; Pongdhorn Sae-Oui; Chakrit Sirisinha; Mahidol University; Thailand National Metal and Materials Technology Center
    An in-house developed co-rotating batch mixer was used to prepare the blends of natural rubber (NR) and ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) in the present work. Phase morphology and magnitude of dispersive mixing efficiency offered... by the in-house developed co-rotating batch mixer and a conventional counter-rotating batch mixer were compared. It has been found that the co-rotating batch mixer equipped with the MX2 rotor configuration could improve the dispersive mixing efficiency of NR/EPDM

In terms of phase morphology, with increasing silica loading, the NR dispersed phase size decreases due to the increase in compound viscosity and, thus, the shear stress available for efficient blending. An increase in silica... loading also en hances resistance to oil due to the decrease in the NR dispersed phase size associated with the dilution effect, but gives no significant impact on thermal aging resistance.
