The Mechanical and Aging Properties of the Natural Rubber/Polyvinyl Alcohol (NR/PVA) Blends

Article Preview

Abstract:

The natural rubber/polyvinyl alcohol (NR/PVA) blends containing epoxid natural rubber as the compatilizer were prepared using latex compounding techniques. The mechanical and thermal oxidation aging properties were studied. Mechanical test showed that the tear strength and hardness of the NR were significantly improved due to adding of the PVA. The tensile strength decreased significantly along with the PVA increasing. Thermal oxidation aging test had obviously impact on the mechanical properties of the material. The performance retention of the material properties was taken effect significantly on the aging test.
