摘要
Firstly, epoxidized eucommia ulmoides gums (EEUG) with different epoxy contents were prepared, and the filler- free compound formula was used for vulcanization. The effects of epoxy content on the vulcanization characteristics, crystal structure, static and dynamic mechanical properties of isoprene rubber (IR)/EEUG blends were studied. DSC, POM and AFM were used to analyze the aggregated structure of EEUG, the crystal structure and phase structure of IR/EEUG. The results show that the critical epoxy molar fraction of EEUG from crystalline structure to amorphous structure is 21.0%. Tiny crystals were observed in the 90IR/10EEUG-14.3 vulcanizate. As the dosage of EEUG-14.3 increases, the tensile strength and elongation at break of IR/EEUG-14.3 decrease. With the epoxy content increasing, the tensile strength and elongation at break of 90IR/10EEUG increase, and 90IR/10EEUG-21.0 shows the optimum tensile properties. EEUG-21.0 is in the critical state of transformation from crystalline structure to amorphous structure, which is prone to strain induced crystallization. Moreover, the entanglement between EEUG and IR molecules can induce the strain-induced crystallization of IR. The existence of EEUG increases the tanδ at 0℃ and reduces tanδ at 60℃ of IR vulcanizate, indicating that EEUG with appropriate epoxy content can improve the wet skid resistance and rolling resistance of IR at the same time. © 2022, Editorial Board of Polymer Materials Science & Engineering.
