Thermodynamic Compatibility, Crystallizability, Thermal, Mechanical Properties and Oil Resistance Characteristics of Nanostructure Poly (ethylene-co-methyl acrylate)/Poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene) Blends

Abstract

This paper addresses the compatibility, morphological characteristics, crystallization, physicomechanical properties and thermal stability of the melt mixed EMA/NBR blends. FTIR spectroscopy reveals considerable physical interaction between the polymers that explain the compatibility of the blends. DSC results confirm the same (compatibility) and reveals that NBR hinders EMA crystallization. Mechanical and thermal properties of the prepared EMA/NBR blends notably enhance with increasing the fraction of EMA in the blends. Morphology study exhibit the dispersed particles in spherical shape in the nanometer level. Swelling and oil resistance study have also been carried out in details to understand the performance behaviour of these blends at service condition

Thermoplastic elastomer blend based on EMA and NBR; optimization of process parameters

“…Table depicts the positions of various peaks. The designated frequency bands are in excellent conformity with the literature data . The band at 1274 cm −1 is owing to the C─O─C stretching vibration of ester groups.…”

“…Hence, the EMA/NBR blends have showed better thermal stability over the constituent polymers. EMA–NBR blend has been shown to have TPE properties . In our earlier work, thermal compatibility and the thermomechanical properties of EMA/NBR novel blend system were studied for the first time.…”

“…EMA/NBR has been explored to be a potential TPE which has improved thermal stability and improved oil and fuel‐swell resistance properties at higher temperature. This EMA/NBR TPE's can have potential application as O‐rings, hoses, and oil seals, However, the properties of the polymer blends depend on the morphology of blends which is governed by blend composition and different process parameters like the temperature, minting time, and rotor speed. The reduction in cost through the blending of high cost polymers with low cost polymers has envisaged new material development.…”

Potential mediated electrochemical recycling and sensing of cadmium ions in wastewater over ZnO/SA-g-PPy biocomposite

“…Although the evolution of mixed structures of eutectic salts is reported based on thermodynamics and some weak interaction rather than the formation of a single matrix of binary salt, it has not explained been for polymer composites. 44,45 In this context, a common peak appears between 1552 and 1557 cm À1 due to hydrogen bonding between constituent polymers, which shows significant improvement like the PPy peak from less intense and broad to sharp and intense after grafting with SA. 46 The evolution of a sharper peak reveals the evolution of the thermodynamicoriented phase due to the transition from amorphous to crystalline nature.…”
