Resumo:
Latex waste products contain rubber hydrocarbon of very high quality, which is only lightly cross linked. Selected wastes such as thread waste and glove waste were modified into processable materials by a novel economic process and thermoplastic elastomers were prepared by blending these modified waste materials with high density polyethylene in various proportions. The mechanical properties as well as the rheological behaviour of these blends were evaluated and compared with those of the natural rubber-high density polyethylene blends.
Resumo:
Cure characteristics and mechanical properties of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber/reclaimed rubber blends were studied. Minimum torque, (ma)dmum -minimum) torque, scorch time, cure time and cure rate decreased in presence of reclaimed rul3ber. Tensile strength, elongation at break and compression set increased'with increase in reclaim content. Resilience and abrasion resistance decreased with reclaim loading. Heat build up was higher for the blends. The ageing resistance of the blends was inferior to that of the gum compound.
Resumo:
Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) matrix was reinforced with different levels of short nylon fiber loading. Cure characteristics and mechanical properties of composites in longitudinal and transverse directions have been studied. Cure time was reduced while processability, as indicated by the minimum torque, was marginally reduced with increase in fiber loading. Tensile and tear properties improved with fiber concentration and the values were higher in longitudinal direction of fiber orientation. Abrasion resistance, resilience and compression set were increased in presence of fibers. Elongation at break values showed a drastic drop on introduction of fibers. Heat build up was higher for composites.
