리튬 아크릴레이트의 In-situ 중합을 이용한 수팽윤성 스티렌-부타디엔 고무의 제조
Fabrication of a Novel Water Swellable Styrene-butadiene Rubber through the In-situ Polymerization of Lithium Acrylate
E-mail:
A novel water-swellable rubber (WSR) was prepared by blending styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and unsaturated carboxylic acid salt lithium acrylate (LiAA). The mechanical properties and water absorption behavior of WSR were studied. The results showed that LiAA was developed into polylithiumacrylate (PliAA) during the process of SBR vulcanization through in-situ polymerization, leading to the improvement of the mechanical properties and water absorption performance. The optimum usages of DCP and triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) to attain the highest water swelling ratio for WSR were 3 and 1 phr, respectively. In addition, the tensile strength and the hardness of WSR were also enhanced by incorporating DCP or TAIC.
