범용 수지로서 널리 사용되고 있는 폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP)은 결정성 열가소성 폴리올레핀으로 상업적으로는 1957년에 최초로 생산되어졌다. 한편, ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer(EPDM)는 1963년에 시판된 이래 내구성, 절연성, 화학적 저항성 등 우수한 성질을 가지고 있는 재료로 알려져 있으며, 특히 PP의 저온 내충격성을 향상하기 위해서 주로 사용되었다. (중략)

The outdoor polymeric insulating materials such as silicone rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer(EPDM), ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA) and epoxy are aged by various natural environment with the long-term performance in outdoor. In this paper, the effects of UV-ray on surface of silicone rubber were investigated by using the weather-Ometer. The accelerated aging stresses were simulated by UV radiation. high temperature and humidity as well as water spray. These the aging characteristics were examined through contact angle measurements, tracking resistance test, FT-IR and SEM/EDS analysis. the experimental results showed that tracking resistance decreases with increase in the UV-ray irradiation period. But the surface of silicone rubber kept hydrophobicity. It is found that the inorganic filler such as $Al(OH)_3$ improves tracking resistance and the $TiO_2$ is very effective in preventing degradation of silicone rubber surface from UV-ray.

The four different polymer compounds were manufactured with the two kinds of plasticizers [(di-2-ethylhexyl sebacate(DOS), and di-2-butyl sebacate(DBS)] and two different additive amounts(18, 26 phr) of the same plasticizer for making cable sheath for ship. Ethylene-vinylacetate, ethylene-propylene-diene-copolymer as matrix polymers and ethylene-vinylacetate grafted maleic anhydride as coupling agent were selected for compounding with fire retardant, closslinking agent, filler, and other additives besides plasticizer. The compound including DOS showed the higher ${\Delta}T$ than that including DBS at the same additive amount in the rheology test. And with increasing plasticizer, the compounds resulted in lower tensile strength and higher elongation by lubricating effect of plasticizer. DOS yielded better aging resistance and cold resistance than DBS due to the good heat resistance and low solidifying point of DOS compared to DBS.

자동차용 냉각기 호스는 열과 기계적 하중 하에서 공기와 부동액의 접촉 스트레스로 인해 노화와 고장이 일어날 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 냉각기 호스재료인 EPDM(ethylene-propylene diene monomer)고무에 대해 열가속 및 산소 스트레스, 전기화학적 스트레스에 의한 표피층의 노화거동을 비파괴 평가하였다. 열가속 및 산소노화 시험결과 신장률의 저하와 함께 IRHD(International Rubber Hardness Degrees)경도가 증가하였다. 전기화학적 노화(electro-chemical degradation: ECD) 시험에서는 에틸렌글리콜 수용액의 침투로 인해 무게가 증가하였으며 신장률과 경도는 크게 저하되었다 또한 에틸렌글리콜 수용액이 표피층뿐만이 아니라 내부에까지 침투하여 고무내부구조와 미크로경도분포가 깊이에 따라 변화되었다. 즉, 열가속 및 산소노화와 ECD 노화는 미크로 경도와 화학구조분석에 의해 비파괴적 특성 평가가 가능함을 보였다.

EPDM(ethylene propylene diene monomer)1실리콘 고무 블렌드를 제조하고, 상용화제와 열노화 시간에 따른 물성 변화를 살펴보았다. EPDM과 실리콘 고무(SR)의 조성비는 90/10에서 $10/90\;wt\%$ 사이로 조절하였으며, Brabender사의 Plasticoder를 사용하여 용융 혼합하고, 열프레스로 가교하였다. 가교된 EPDM/SR 블렌드의 모폴로지를 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 또한, 블렌드를 $100^{\circ}C$에서 24, 48, 96시간 동안 열노화시켜 경도, 인장 강도, 신장률 및 접촉각을 측정하였다. 모폴로지를 조사한 결과 상용화제를 첨가한 블렌드의 분산상의 크기가 감소하였다. 열노화 시간이 증가함에 따라, 블렌드의 경도와 인장 강도는 감소하였으며, 신장률과 접촉각은 증가하였다.

Maleic anhydride (MA)와 ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer(EPDM)를 용액중합으로 말레화 EPDM(MEPDM)을 제조하고 이를 quaternary ammonium silyl Polydimethylsiloxane-TCNQ adduct(PST)와 internal mixer(Rheomix 600P)를 사용하여 용융중합으로 MEPDM-g-PST 공중합체를 제조하였다. 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE)과 MEPDM-g-PST 공중합체 및 카본블랙 (5, 10, 15 및 20 phr)을 배합하여 MEPDM-g-PST/HDPE/CB 복합체(MPEC)를 제조하였고 HDPE와 카본블랙(5, 10, 15 및 20 phr)을 배합하여 HDPE/CB 복합체(PEC)를 각각 제조하였다. MEPDM-g-PDMS 공중합체의 구조는 FTIR을 이용하여 확인하였으며 MA의 최대 그래프트율은 2.35%이였다. 제조한 복합체의 열적 특성을 측정한 결과 MPEC와 PEC는 유사한 열분해 온도를 나타내었다. MPEC의 인장강도는 카본블랙의 함량이 5에서 20 phr로 증가함에 따라 240에서 372 MPa로 증가하였으며 모폴로지를 분석한 결과 PEC보다 MPEC의 경우에서 카본블랙의 분산이 보다 더 잘 이루어졌음을 확인하였다.

A comprehensive survey of the available literature showed that in the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in the use of thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs). TPVs are the second largest group of soft thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) after styrene-based block copolymers, and offer a wide range of potential and proven applications, including in mechanical rubber goods, under-the-hood applications in the automotive field, industrial hose applications, electrical applications, consumer goods, and soft touch applications. Over the last two decades, TPVs have shown a strong and steady market growth (~12% per year). Commercialized TPVs are commonly based on blends of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber and polypropylene (PP), and to a lesser extent on combinations of butyl or nitrile rubber with PP. EPDM/PP TPVs are characterized by finely dispersed crosslinked EPDM rubber particles (particles size varying between 0.5 and $2.0{\mu}m$) distributed in a continuous thermoplastic PP matrix. If the rubber particles of such a blend are small enough and if they are vulcanized well enough, then the properties of the blend are generally improved. This review article introduces various topics and aspects relevant to EPDM/PP TPVs. The development of TPVs, the use of various types of crosslinking systems and co-agents as crosslinking agents for PP/EPDM blends, the morphology and rheology of TPVs, and their typical end-use applications are also reviewed.

내연기관의 냉각기 고무호스에 사용되는 EPDM 고무는 열과 기계적 하중을 받는 동시에 국부적으로 형성된 전기적 스트레스를 받아 복합적인 노화가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 EPDM 고무의 전기화학적 복합노화 시험을 하고, 아레니우스 관계식을 이용하여 노화온도($60^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$, $100^{\circ}C$)에 따른 가속수명 예측식을 구하였다. 수명에 영향을 미치는 인장변형률(5%, 10%)을 반영하여 예측식의 기울기($E_a/R$) 및 아레니우스 상수(C)를 고려한 수정된 수명예측 식을 제안하였다. 이를 통해 노화온도와 인장변형률에 영향을 받은 EPDM 고무의 수명을 예측하였고, 수정된 수명예측 시간이 실제 실험결과의 편차 범위 이내에서 일치함을 확인하였다.

The aging degradation and lifetime assessment of a domestic class 1E Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer (EPDM), which is a popular insulating elastomer for electrical cables in the nuclear power plants, were studied for equipment qualification verification under the Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) conditions. The specimens were acceleratively aged, underwent a LOCA environment, as well as tested mechanically, thermo-gravimetrically, and spectroscopically according to the American Society of the Testing of Materials (ASTM) procedures. The tensile test results revealed that the elongation at break gradually decreased with an increasing aging temperature. The lifetime of EPDM aged isothermally at $140^{\circ}C$ was 1,316 hours and reduced to 1,120 hours after experiencing the severe accident test. The activation energies of the elongation reduction were $1.10{\pm}0.196$ eV and $0.93{\pm}0.191$ eV before and after the LOCA condition, respectively. The TGA test results also showed that the activation energy of the aging decomposition decreased from 1.35 eV to 1.02 eV after undergoing the LOCA environment. Although the mechanical property changes were discernibly observed during the aging process, along with the LOCA simulation, the FT-IR analysis showed that the spectroscopic peaks and their intensities did not alter significantly. Therefore, it can be concluded that the degradation of the domestic class 1E EPDM due to aging can be tolerable, even in severe accident conditions such as LOCA, and thus it qualifies as a suitable insulating material for electrical cables in the nuclear power plants.

Recently, microwaves have been used for desulfurization because they can selectively dissociate C-S and S-S bonds present in vulcanized rubber. In this study, we investigated the changes in structural and physical properties of EPDM (Ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber by irradiating it with microwaves for different durations. The surface chemical composition of the irradiated EPDM rubber was analyzed by FT-IR, XPS, and EDS analyses. It was confirmed by XPS that C-S and S-S S2p peak heights greatly decreased when microwave irradiation was performed for more than 5 min. In the EPDM sample irradiated with microwaves for 10 min, the number of S-O bonds significantly increased owing to oxidation. As the microwave irradiation time was increased, SEM images showed cracks and voids on the EPDM surface. The 20% decomposition temperature of the EPDM rubber sample was investigated by TGA, and it was found to be about $435.23^{\circ}C$ for the EPDM rubber irradiated for 10 min. The crosslinking density of the EPDM rubber was determined by measuring the degree of swelling, and the highest value was observed for the E5 sample irradiated for 5 min. The degree of swelling of the E10 sample irradiated for 10 min was lower than that of the E5 sample. These results indicate that when irradiated with microwaves for more than a certain time, desulfurization occurs and the side chain of the EPDM rubber dissociates and forms additional crosslinking bonds.
