Abstract

Thermoplastic elastomer was prepared from dynamical vulcanization of isotactic polypropylene(iPP)/nitrile rubber blend (NBR/iPP=70/30 wt/wt) in an internal mixer using dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as a curing agent and zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA) as a coagent. There was a great improvement in tensile and tear strength, elongation-at-break and lower tension set when ZDMA was incorporated into the blend, which is supposed to be due to the increase in crosslink density or the rubber phase and the reduction in size of the rubber particles. It was revealed that the dynamically vulcanized blend exhibited good reprocessibility, indicating its thermoplastic nature.

고무상으로 니트릴고무(NBR)을 플라스틱상으로 isotactic 폴리프로필렌(iPP)을 고무:플라스틱 비율이 70:30(wt:wt)되도록 내부혼합기에서 용융 혼합하고, 과산화물 가교제(DCP) 및 메타크릴산 아연염(ZDMA)을 첨가하여 동적 가교시킨 블렌드를 제조하였다. DCP만을 사용하여 동적가교시킨 블렌드에 비해 DCP와 ZDMA를 함께 첨가하여 제조한 동적가교시킨 블렌드가 우수한 인장물성, 인열강도 및 고무탄성을 나타내었다. 이는 메타크릴간 아연염의 첨가에 의해 동적가교과정 중 고무상의 가교밀도가 증가되고, 가교된 고무상이 플라스틱 연속상에 더 미세하게 분산되기 때문인 것으로 생각되었다. 또한, 제조된 블렌드는 반복 가공 시 물성의 큰 저하가 나타나지 않아 재활용성이 가능한 열가소성탄성체임을 알 수 있었다.
