Abstract

In general, butyl rubber(IIR : isobutylene isoprene rubber) has excellent gas permeability resistance and impact absorbance property as low resilience elastomer. In this experiment butyl rubber blends with EPDM(ethylene propylene diene monomer) were prepared by mechanical mixing method. Curing behavior, physical properties and ozone resistance etc. were subsequently examined. Measurement results of gas transmission rate test shows that butyl rubber contents above 50 wt% showed significant decrease in gas permeability resistant property. However, in butyl rubber/EPDM blend, EPDM contents above 25 wt% indicates no surface change due to improvement of ozone resistance under the condition of 50 pphm, $50^{\circ}C$, 120 hrs.

일반적으로 butyl 고무(IIR : isobutylene isoprene rubber)는 우수한 내기체투과성 및 저반발 탄성체로서 우수한 충격흡수성을 갖는다. 본 실험에서는 butyl고무에 EPDM(ethylene propylene diene monomer)을 기계적 혼련법으로 blend 혼련물을 제조하여 이들의 가교 거동, 물리적 성질 및 내오존성 등을 측정하였다. EPDM 고무량이 증가할수록 최적 가황시간이 단축되는 경향을 보였다. 기체투과속도 테스트에 의한 내기체투과성 측정 결과 butyl고무량이 50 wt% 이상일 경우에는 기체투과도가 현저히 감소하였다. 한편 butyl rubber/EPDM 블렌드의 경우에 EPDM의 함량이 25 wt.% 이상 함유될 경우 내오존성이 향상되어 50 pphm, $50^{\circ}C$, 120시간 조건에서도 아무런 표면변화가 없었다.
