Study on the Reinforcement of ZDMA in EPDM

Article Preview

Abstract:

We researched the reinforcement effect of commercial Zinc methacrylate (ZDMA) on ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), ZDMA was added to EPDM directly with hakke internal mixer. The mechanical properties, SEM, RPA and FTIR were synthetically used to study the reinforcement effect, compared with the reinforcement of CB N330. The results showed that the reinforcement effect of ZDMA on EPDM was better than that of CB N330. The tensile strength of vulcanizate with ZDMA was up to 17MPa, and the elongation at break was 493%. It could possess great resilience under the condition of high hardness. After adding ZDMA, the processing fluidity and crosslink density of EPDM were improved.
