Abstract

Zinc methacrylate(ZMA) was incorporated into ethylene-propylene diene rubber(EPDM) by direct mixing of the metal salt with the rubber or was in-situ prepared in the rubber matrix through neutralization reaction of zinc oxide(ZnO) and methacrylic acid(MAA). Tensile and tear tests showed that ZMA had a great reinforcing effect for the EPDM. It was also found that ZMA reinforced EPDM vulcanizates can retain their mechanical properties under thermo-oxidative aging. Moreover the incorporation of ZMA induces a substantial improvement in the adhesive strength of the EPDM onto aluminum substrate. The reinforcing effect and an enhancement in adhesion was greatly manifested when the ZMA is in-situ formed with an excess amount of ZnO. The extraordinary improvement in the properties is supposed to be related with the formation of ionic crosslink as well as the degree of dispersion or ZMA domain in the rubber matrix.

메타크릴산의 아연염인 ZMA를 EPDM고무와 직접 블렌딩하거나 또는 ZnO와 MAA의 형태로 첨가한 후 이들간의 중화반응을 유도하여 고무에 in-situ로 형성시키는 방법을 이용하여 EPDM/ZMA 복합체를 제조하였다. 인장시험, 인열시험, 열노화시험 결과 ZMA의 첨가는 EPDM의 기계적 물성 및 열노화에 대한 안정성을 현저히 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 ZMA의 첨가는 EPDM고무와 금속과의 접착력을 크게 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 기계적물성 및 접착물성의 향상효과는 과량의 ZnO를 사용한 중화반응에 의해 ZMA를 형성시킨 복합체에서 더욱 크게 나타났다. 이는 ZMA의 도입에 의한 이온가교결합의 형성 및 고무매트리스에서의 ZMA 도메인의 분산도와 연관되는 것으로 판단되었다.
