用SBS或SBR或BR改进HIPS的冲击性能

采用机械共混法，在弹性体用量为５％～２５％时，研究了ＳＢＳ，ＳＢＲ，ＢＲ分别对ＨＩＰＳ的增韧效果。ＳＢＳ可使ＨＩＰＳ的冲击韧性大幅度提高，并随ＳＢＳ含量增加显著上升。ＳＢＲ也能提高ＨＩＰＳ的冲击韧性，但幅度不大。ＢＲ的加入使ＨＩＰＳ的冲击韧性下降。前两者的冲击试样断面平整而光洁，有明显的应力发白现象，属韧性断裂，后者的断面粗糙不平，无应力发白现象，属脆性断裂。改性ＨＰＳ的形态随着弹性体的不同以及含量的变化均有不同特点，与冲击韧性的变化相对应。

溶聚SBR和乳聚SBR的结构表征

用凝胶渗透色谱((GPC)和激光小角光散射(LALLS)联用法对不同牌号的溶聚SBR(S-SBR)和乳聚SBR(E-SBR)的分子量及其分布进行了测定。结果发现,E-SBR的(?)_w较大,分子量分布较宽,有些试样含有少量特大分子,还发现偶联的S-SBR图谱具有双峰。用氢质子核磁共振仪对两者的微观结构进行了表征,其中E-SBR不同试样的微观结构差别较小,而S-SBR不同试样的微观结构则存在明显差异,表明S-SBR链结构具有较大的可调节性。

动、静态硫化(NR+SBR)/PE共混体系的结构与性能

用TEM研究了(NR+SBR)/PE共混体系经动、静态硫化后的形态结构及其与力学性能的关系。未硫化和静态硫化体系的形态结构与其组成有关,均以含量大的组份为连续相;对动态硫化体系,当(NR=SBR)/PE<70/30时,均以PE为连续相,其性能主要依赖于构成连续相组份的性质。 动态硫化体系的T_g值低于静态体系,随PE组份含量的增加变化不大,而静态硫化体系的T_g值则随PE含量增加向高温方向迁移。用DSC测得动态硫化体系的结晶度比静态体系的大。前者的应力-应变性能也低于后者。

Polymer-Solvent Interaction Parameter for NR/SBR and NR/BR Blends

Polymer-solvent interaction parameters for the blends of natural rubber (NR) with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and polybutadiene rubber ( BR) are calculated using the Flory-Rehner equation by equating the network density of the vulcanizates in two solvents.

Rubber Seed Oil: A Multipurpose Additive in NR and SBR Compounds

ABSTRACT: Rubber seed oil was used as a multipurpose ingredient in natural rubber (NR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds. The study shows that the oil, when substituted for conventional plasticiser, imparts excellent mechanical properties to NR and SBR vulcanizates. Further, it also improves aging resistance, reduces cure time, increases abrasion resistance and flex resistance, and reduces blooming.

Studies on in situ precipitated silica filled rubber composites with special reference to NR, NBR and SBR

Precipitated silica is the most promising alternative for carbon black in tyre tread compounds due to its improved performance in terms of rolling resistance and wet grip.But its poor processability is a serious limitation to its commercial application.This thesis suggests a novel route for the incorporation of silica in rubbers,i.e.,precipitation of silica in rubber latex followed by coagulation of the latex to get rubber-silica maseterbatch.Composites with in situ precipitated silica showed improved processability and mechanical properties,when compared to conventional silica composites.

Biological nutrient removal in SBR technology: from floccular to granular sludge

Biological nutrient removal has been studied and applied for decades in order to remove nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater. However, more anthropogenic uses and the continued demand for water have forced the facilities to operate at their maximum capacity. Therefore, the goal of this thesis is to obtain more compact systems for nutrient removal from domestic wastewater. In this sense, optimization and long-term stabilization of high volume exchange ratios reactors, treating higher volumes of wastewater, have been investigated. With the same target, aerobic granular sludge was proposed as a reliable alternative to reduce space and increase loading rates in treatment plants. However, the low organic loading rate from low-strength influents (less than 1 Kg COD•m-3d-1) results in slower granular formation and a longer time to reach a steady state. Because of that, different methodologies and operational conditions were investigated in order to enhance granulation and nutrient removal from domestic wastewater.

Operation and control of SBR processes for enhanced biological nutrient removal from wastewater

In the last decades, the awareness of environmental issues has increased in society considerably. There is an increasing need to improve the effluent quality of domestic wastewater treatment processes. This thesis describes the application of the Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) technology for Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) from the wastewater. In particular, the work presented evolves from the nitrogen removal to the biological nutrient removal (i.e. nitrogen plus phosphorous removal) with special attention to the operational strategy design, the identification of possible reactor cycle controls or the influent composition related to the process efficiency. In such sense, also the use of ethanol as an external carbon (when low influent Carbon:Phosphorus (C:P) or Carbon:Nitrogen (C:N) ratios are presented) are studied as an alternative to maintain the BNR efficiency.
