Polymeric Antioxidant Based on Natural Rubber Grafted with N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)maleimide

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel rubber bound antioxidant NR-g-HPM was prepared by melt grafting HPM (N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)maleimide) onto natural rubber in a brabender plasticorder. HPM was synthesized from p-aminophenol and maleic anhydride. The yield was found to be over 80%. The grafting products were observed with FTIR spectroscopy and TGA. The ageing resistance of natural rubber vulcanizates using NR-g-HPM was studied. It was found that an optimal amount of NR-g-HPM (6 phr) gave about 25% better tensile strength and elongation at break as compared with conventional BHT addition, for filled natural rubber after 48 h of accelerated aging.
