Abstract

In the present investigation, thermal aging behavior of H-NBR/NBR blend with various H-NBR content was investigated. Mixture of dicumyl peroxide and sulfur were used as a curing agent. The influence of the thermal aging of the H-NBR/NBR blends on the solid state properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, hardness and abrasion resistance was investigated. Tensile strength was increased with increasing H-NBR content, while abrasion resistance was decreased. Both elongation at break and hardness were not affected by the addition of H-NBR. The properties such as hardness, tensile strength and elongation at break of the aged samples were lower than unaged samples. However, the rate of deterioration of those properties was decreased by increasing the H-NBR content, which indicated that improved thermal aging behavior was obtained by the addition of H-NBR. Abrasion loss was increased with increasing aging time, but it became less by the addition of H-NBR addition.

본 연구는 H-NBR 함량 변화에 따른 H-NBR/NBR 블렌드의 열노화 거동에 대하여 살펴보았다. 이 때 가교제로는 dicumyl peroxide와 황 혼합물을 사용하였으며, 열노화에 따른 H-NBR/NBR 블렌드의 인장강도, 파괴신율, 경도 그리고 내마모성의 변화를 살펴보았다. H-NBR을 첨가함에 따라 인장강도는 증가하였으나 내마모성은 감소하는 현상을 나타내었다. 파괴신율과 경도는 H-NBR의 영향을 받지 않았다. 노화가 진행된 모든 시편은 초기 시편보다 낮은 인장강도, 파괴신율, 경도를 나타내었다. 그러나 H-NBR의 함량이 증가함에 따라 이러한 물성저하 속도가 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 즉 H-NBR 첨가에의해 열노화 특성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 모든 NBR/H-NBR 블렌드는 노화시간이 증가함에 따라 내마모성이 감소하였으며, H-NBR을 첨가한 경우 내마모성의 저하가 상대적으로 낮음을 알 수 있었다.
