초록

통상적인 고무블렌드 방법에 따라 개방식 2-롤밀을 사용하여 ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM)과 styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) 블렌드 배합물을 제조하여, 이들의 경화 특성, 기계적 성질 및 내오존성 등을 검토하였다. SBR함량이 증가할수록 가황곡선의 토크가 증가하였다. 최대 토크는 SBR 25wt% 일 때 가장 낮았으며 그 이상의 SBR 량에서는 직선적으로 증가하였다. 스코치시간 및 최적경화시간은 SBR고무 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 경도는 SBR 함량이 50wt% 일 때 최고값을 보였으며 그 전후에서는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 내오존시험에 있어서 소량의 EPDM 고무의 첨가에 의하여 내오존성이 크게 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

The ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) blends with styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) were prepared from an open 2-roll mill following the conventional rubber blend method, and then cure characteristics, mechanical properties and ozone resistance were subsequently examined. With incorporation of SBR the torque value of the EPDM and SBR blends showed a gradual increase in the cure curve. The maximum torque value was obtained with lowest level at 25wt% of SBR and it was increased linearly with more than 25wt%. As the SBR loading increased scorch time and optimum cure time decreased. Hardness represented a maximum at 50wt% of SBR. However upper and lower than that value it decreased. It was found that the unfavorable characteristics of ozone resistance of pure SBR was significantly improved through the blending of SBR with EPDM.
