Abstract

Styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR) has good abrasion resistance, miscibility, and anti-vibration property. however, it is easily damaged by ozone and swelled by hydrocarbon fluids because of unsaturation part in main chain, that causes loss of visco-elasticity and reduction of product's life cycle. Therefore, object of this study is to cope with this problem. SBR is blended with various proportion of ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer(EPDM), which has excellent ozone and oxygen resistance, to improve physical properties and ozone resistance, and diverse analytical techniques are used to measure morphology, glass transition temperature$(T_g)$, ozone-resistance, degradation temperature, static spring constant, hardness for considering a suitability for anti-vibration industrial product. We found that the blend consisting of SBR 70% and EPDM 30% showed no crack after ozone test and good miscibility between SBR and EPDM from this study.

Styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR)은 내마모성, 상용성, 방진성이 우수 하지만, SBR은 주쇄의 불포화기때문에 오존에 의해 쉽게 손상을 받고 탄화수소에 쉽게 팽윤되어 점탄성을 잃어버려 고무제품으로서의 수명을 단축시킨다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 SBR 고무의 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위함이다. 내오존성과 기계적물성을 개선시키기 위해서 내오존성이 우수한 ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer(EPDM)을 다양한 비율로 블렌드하고, 방진제품으로써의 적합성을 고려하기 위하여 다양한 분석기술을 사용하여 경도, 열분해 온도, 모폴러지, 유리전이온도, 내오존성, 정적 스프링정수를 측정하였다. 본 실험을 통하여 SBR과 EPDM 블렌드의 조성변화에 따른 특성을 연구한 결과, SBR에 대하여 EPDM 30% 블렌드시 상용성이 우수하고, 내오존성이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
