Study on aging of clay-rubber masterbatch from modified clay
Clay was modified by using a polymeric coating agent, a silicane coupling agent, and a titanate coupling agent together with the antioxidant for preparing the Clay-rubber masterbatch. After the thermooxidative, photooxidative, and ozone aging, the properties of the masterbatch were also determined. The results indicate that, under the synergistic actions of the polymeric coating agent, antioxidant, and coupling agent, the thermooxidative and photooxidative aging resistances of the masterbatch were greatly improved. The properties of ozone aging resistance of the masterbatch can be increased by 50% under the combined action of a new kind of amine antioxidant with a titanate coupling agent.
