In situpreparation of reduced graphene oxide reinforced acrylic rubber by self‐assembly

Abstract

Reduced graphene oxide reinforced acrylic rubber (ACM/RGO) was in situ prepared via self‐assembly method in the presence of hydrazine hydrate as reducing agent. X‐ray diffraction and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the chemical structure of ACM/RGO, and transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope demonstrated that RGO was uniformly dispersed in ACM matrix. Due to the barrier role of RGO sheets, the resistances to heat and water of ACM/RGO were obviously improved. Furthermore, the mechanical properties were also largely affected by the incorporation of RGO. With 2 parts per hundred rubber of RGO, the tensile strength and Shore A hardness of ACM/RGO reached 18.8 MPa and 73, and the elongation at break maintained at 236%. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Research status and prospect of wear and aging on hydraulic rubber sealing materials

“…Factors affecting the lubrication film include operation speed, working pressure and temperature, so should be based on different application environments and material properties, choose the appropriate sealing material. Table 1 shows the properties and service temperatures of several commonly used rubber sealing materials [133], incluing natural rubber(NR) [125], silicone rubber (MVQ) [126], nitrile rubber(NBR) [127], chloroprene rubber(CR) [128], fluororubber(FKM) [129], polyurethane rubber(PUR) [130], ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber(EPDM) [131] and acrylate rubber(ACM) [132]. It is very important to consider the compatibility of oil and sealing material to prevent liquid leakage and maintain constant pressure and energy transfer.…”

Investigation on the mechanical and ageing properties of acrylic rubber reinforced halloysite nanotubes/carbon black hybrid composites

“…Bandyopadhyay et al 21 have developed ACM-nanosilica nanocomposite systems with improved mechanical properties and thermal stability. Recently Wang et al 22 have reported ACM-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites with superior tensile properties, hardness, thermal stability and water resistance. However there are very few literatures available on the thermal ageing and oil resistance of ACM elastomers.…”

Cornmeal Graphene/Natural Rubber Nanocomposites: Effect of Modified Graphene on Mechanical and Thermal Properties

“…With the development of the automobile industry, convenient transportation brings great revolution and, at the same time, also brings security problems, especially when the automobile tire is punctured on the highway, it is an urgent safety problem that is to be solved. Natural rubber (NR) is a natural carbohydrate composed of cis -1,4-polyisoprene and nonrubber substances such as protein, , sugars, and ash, , in which the unsaturated double bonds of NR are easily oxidized, leading to poor thermal stability. − Thus, the automobile tire prepared by NR would cause heat when rubbed on the ground of the highway for a long time. − When the heat cannot be conducted out, it accumulates inside the NR, causing heat aging of the NR and tire puncture . In industrial production, carbon black and silica were usually used to fill and reinforce NR, but the use of these two fillers would cause serious dust pollution, and there was almost no improvement in the thermal properties of NR.…”
