Abstract
The damping performance of chlorinated butyl rubber (CIIR) is exceptional; however, its poor processability during vulcanization can lead to numerous defects. Natural rubber (NR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) were selected to blend with CIIR for improving its processing performance. Their [...] Read more.
The damping performance of chlorinated butyl rubber (CIIR) is exceptional; however, its poor processability during vulcanization can lead to numerous defects. Natural rubber (NR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) were selected to blend with CIIR for improving its processing performance. Their effects on the vulcanization characteristics, mechanical properties, and damping performance were investigated. Blending CIIR with NR can considerably increase the vulcanization speed of the rubber compound and improve production efficiency. The tensile strength of the vulcanizate first increases with an increase in the dosage of NR in NR/CIIR, and subsequently, it decreases before increasing again. The tensile strength first increases and then decreases with an increase in the EPDM dosage in EPDM/CIIR vulcanizate. The tensile strength increases by 15.6%when the EPDM dosage is 60 and 80 phr. EPDM and NR have similar effects on the damping performance of CIIR, which were evaluated by fitting the data of loss factor (∆tanδ) versus NR or EPDM dosage. Therefore, the quantity of NR or EPDM can be conveniently calculated based on performance requirements when designing the formula of the CIIR matrix materials. Full article

An experimental device fixed with a laser displacement sensor was assembled to investigate the rebound behaviors and damping mechanism of rubber balls prepared with ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM)/chlorinated butyl rubber (CIIR) blends. The result showed that a prediction model was proposed to characterize the damping capacity by using the rebound height of the rubber balls. The lower rebound height corresponded to better damping capacity. A modified equation relating to the rebound height has been obtained from the theoretical derivation on the basis of the dynamic mechanical analysis, showing that the rebound height was affected by the deformation frequency, the external excitation, and the nature of rubber blends. Furthermore, the energy dissipation rate (EDR), defined by the ratio of the height loss to the rebound time, was proposed to further characterize the damping capacity. The EDR value was shown to be highest for the pure CIIR and lowest for the pure EPDM, exhibiting a decreasing trend with the increase in EPDM content in the rubber blends. It can be expected that the damping capacity of the EPDM/CIIR blends decreases with the decrease in external excitation, the conclusion of which plays a key role in the formulation design of viscoelastic damping rubber materials.
