Effect of carbon black and graphene on the performance of EPDM rubber composites: A short review

Abstract

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber is for major used in engineering and many technical works and its application like automobile, constructions, electronic industries, and electric and many more. Industries commonly EPDM use for making the rubber inlet/outlet hoses for car and other vehicle. EPDM rubber properties are like good weather resistance ability as well as heat ozone. The resistance of steam is outstanding. EPDM rubber commonly is used for seals in automobile area. In the present review paper, different hardness of EPDM has been discussed on the basis of mixing or adding different proportion of graphene and carbon black (CB) and other additives. Also discussed how improve the performance of EPDM using silica and graphene and titanium dioxide and other additives and synergistic effect of graphite nanotubes on EPDM nanotubes. Effect of graphene on non-polar and polar rubber matrix also discussed with mechanical behaviour of EPDM.

Microstructure–properties relationship in ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM)/nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR)/halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) nanocomposites

“…However, it seems unlikely to attain cocrosslinking of elastomers in the presence of reactive nanofillers [1]. Ethylenepropylene diene monomer (EPDM) is an amorphous rubber widely used ranging from automotive and construction to the electronic industries, but it suffers from poor mechanical and oil resistance-necessitating the use of reinforcing agents or complementary polymers [2]. Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) has descent hot oil and ozone resistance [3], low-temperature flexibility [4] and appropriate mechanical properties [5].…”

Investigation of novel polyanilines as new antioxidants for ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber composites

“…13,14 It has been used in several industries such as automotive, construction, electrical, and sealing applications. 15,16 However, like many rubber materials, EPDM is susceptible to oxidative aging, which can lead to a loss of its mechanical strength, changes in physical properties, and reduced service life of EPDM rubber products. 17,18 Therefore, protecting EPDM from oxidative aging is crucial to maintain its performance and longevity in various industrial applications.…”
