Invented by Charles Goodyear, chemical cross-linking of rubbers sulfur vulcanization is the only method which modern automobile tires are manufactured. The formation these cross-linked network structures leads to highly elastic properties, substantially reduces viscous properties materials. Here, we describe a simple approach converting commercially available and widely used bromobutyl rubber (BIIR) into material with extraordinary self-healing without using conventional or vulcanising...
A detail study concerning the strain (tensile) dependent electrical conductivity of elastomeric composites is reported in this present paper. Multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT), conducting black (CB), and their combinations were considered as filler cross-linked natural rubber matrix. The loadings fillers from 3 to 11 phr (filler concentration close percolation threshold). Without hindering elastic nature composite (reversible stretchability up several 100%), change relative resistance, ΔR/R0...
In the present work, a strong filler–filler network of conductive carbon black was strategically established in an elastomer matrix, which leads to unique combination electrical and mechanical properties. The novelty our composites development percolated morphology nanostructured conducting particles by incorporation relatively large nonreinforcing spherical silica particles, inside soft matrix. This technique allowed us fabricate solution styrene butadiene rubber (S-SBR) with outstanding...
In the present work, development and characterization of an intrinsically self-healable material based on butyl imidazole modified bromobutyl rubber (BIIR)/natural (NR) blends, which are filled with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reported.It was found that addition CNTs blending NR significantly enhance tensile strength BIIR composites.The use as physical cross-linker for phase provides blend composites non-covalent bondings, responsible their self-healing properties.Owing to increase viscosity...
Chemical cross-linking of rubber is a process to significantly modify the physical properties polymer. By this transformation, highly viscous compound converted into an elastomer suitable for high-performance products like tires. Conventionally, sulfur or peroxide preferred mode vulcanization polymer practiced by different industries. To fulfill growing demand more durable, products, development self-healing considered one most promising approaches. The present study endeavor mimic property...
Novel thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) based on silicone rubber (PDMS) and polyamide (PA12) have been prepared by dynamic vulcanization process.The effect of influence various types peroxides as cross-linking agents were studied in detail.All the TPVs at a ratio 50/50 wt% polyamide.Three structurally different peroxides, namely dicumyl peroxide (DCP), 3,3,5,7,7-pentamethyl 1,2,4-trioxepane (PMTO) cumyl hydroperoxide (CHP) taken for investigation.Though DCP was best option curing rubber,...
Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) was grafted with imidazolium ions, giving the materials self-healing and reprocessing properties. These ions in form of neutral ionic repeating units transformed polyisoprene-based polymer chains into ionomers. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses were carried out to confirm various interactions between ENR 1H-imidazole. In particular, dynamic hydrogen bonding formation aggregates led superior...
Abstract The greener alternatives to tactile‐integrated multimodal sensors with self‐powered and self‐healing abilities are highly desirable for all‐in‐one autonomous sensing systems, particularly impressive in diverse application ranges including smart home, healthcare, e‐skin. dynamically self‐healable, stretchable piezoresistive sensors, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) reported herein constructed by a facile, industrially viable method of grafting imidazolium ions on epoxidized...
Abstract Bio‐based resources as reinforcing agents for elastomers is an important area of research. In this study, different types lignin were employed fillers synthetic elastomers. Polychloroprene (CR), a polar rubber, and solution styrene butadiene rubber (SSBR), non‐polar used matrix materials. Results showed that filled with Kraft exhibited better mechanical performance than those lignosulfonate. Without chemical modification, effectively reinforced polychloroprene increasing its tensile...
Template-assisted colloidal self-assembly has gained significant attention due to its flexibility and versatility. By precisely controlling the shape of template, it is possible achieve custom-designed nanoparticle assemblies. However, a major challenge remains in fabricating these templates over large areas at low cost. Recently, one-dimensional (1D) nano-wrinkle structures have been effectively used for linear assembly single-chain or multi-chain nanoparticles, which feature abundant...
In this study, we investigated the influence of an epoxy end-capped polypropylene oxide crosslinker (epoxy-PPO) on formation crosslinked network structure, stress-strain response, and electro-mechanical actuation performance a maleic anhydride functionalized liquid isoprene rubber (LIR). The amount varied from 10 (C-LIR-10) to 50 (C-LIR-50) weight parts per hundred (phr) LIR. swelling test cured rubbers revealed that C-LIR-20 formed densest with lowest chloroform uptake value within series....
In this study, the development and characterization of an intrinsically self‐healable material have been reported based on bromobutyl rubber (BIIR) modified with imidazole (Im) loaded carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as reinforcing electrically conducting agent. The ionic imidazolium groups facilitate network, which imparts composites a pronounced self‐healing behavior. cation‐π bondings between BIIR CNT surface improve rubber‐filler interaction leading to better mechanical performance higher...
