Abstract:

For the better mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene (PP), PP sea-island structured composites with elastomer ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) and coal powder were prepared by melt-blending method. Coupling agent γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH-570) was used as modifier to improve the superficial capacity of coal powder. The structural changes and properties of modified coal powder and composites were characterized and analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), surface contact angle analysis, scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and mechanical testing. Results show that the modified coal powder has good hydrophobicity and sea-island structure is beneficial in improving the comprehensive performance of composites. The contact angle increases from 33.8° to 91.6° after modification. The initial decomposition temperature (T0) and largest weight loss temperature (Tmd) both have an increase with coal powder content and the maximum are 431.02 °C and 465.33 °C. The mechanical properties tend to go up first and then down with the addition of coal powder. PP/26EPDM/4coal composite has best mechanical properties as well as the impact strength and elongation at break are 60.9 MPa, 615.0%, respectively.
