Abstract

New compounds were made using various NR/BR blend ratio and oil content to improve mechanical properties of rubber isolator at low temperature. Mechanical properties were investigated as a function of NR/BR blend ratio and oil content. Hardness and tensile modulus generally increased, but tensile strength and elongation at break decreased with increasing BR content. Hardness, tensile modulus and tensile strength decreased, but elongation at break were nearly the same with increasing oil content. The glass transition temperature of NR and BR were found to be $-50^{\circ}C$ and $-90^{\circ}C$ respectively based on the abrupt drops in storage elastic modulus and peak of loss factor. Two distinct transition temperature were observed in NR/BR blend compounds and each transition point was not affected by blend level indicating incompatible nature of NR/BR blend.

방진고무의 내한성을 향상시키기 위하여 NR 컴파운드에 유리전이온도가 상대적으로 낮은 BR을 섞거나 오일 함량을 늘리는 방법을 이용하여 새로운 컴파운드를 제작하였다. 저온환경에서 기계적물성 실험을 수행하여 NR/BR 조성비 및 오일 함량에 따른 영향을 조사하였다. BR 함량이 증가할수록 경도 및 모듈러스가 증가한 반면 인장강도 및 신율은 감소하였고, 오일 함량이 많을수록 경도, 모듈러스 및 인장강도는 감소하였으나 신율은 거의 변화가 없었다. NR/BR 블렌드 고무컴파운드는 NR과 BR의 유리 전이 온도인 $-50^{\circ}C$$-90^{\circ}C$에서 저장탄성계수의 급격한 전이와 손실계수인 tan ${\delta}$가 최대값을 보여 두 컴파운드간의 비상용성을 나타내었다.
