Preparation and Properties Investigation of Gadolinium Arylate/Hydrogenated Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber Composites

Abstract:

The gadolinium acrylate Gd (AA)₃/hydrogenated nitrile-butadiene rubber (HNBR) composites have been prepared by in-situ reaction with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as vulcanizing agent. The original morphology of Gd (AA)₃ and its dispersion state in un-vulcanized and vulcanized rubber compound have been analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results demonstrated that Gd (AA)₃ dispersed uniform in the composite with smaller size and better interface bonding because of the in-situ reaction. The mechanical properties of Gd (AA)₃/HNBR reached the best when filled with 40 phr Gd (AA)₃ and the X-ray shielding property increased with the increasing filling amount of Gd (AA)₃.
