Abstract

EPDM compounds and vulcanizates containing inorganic filler such as talc, calcium carbonate, or clay as well as carbon black were prepared, and the influence of inorganic filler on properties of the EPDM compounds and vulcanizates were investigated. The bound rubber contents did not significantly increase even though the inorganic filler was added. There were big aggregates in the EPDM samples with high loading inorganic filler. By adding the inorganic filler, the cure times tended to increase and the delta torque decreased. The modulus were on the whole decreased, whereas the elongation at break, tensile strength, and tear strength were increased by adding the inorganic filler. The decreased modulus and increased elongation at break can be explained with the decreased delta torque, the increases of tensile strength and tear strength can be explained with the increased elongation at break. By adding the inorganic filler, level of reinforcing in the EPDM compounds did not increase and the crosslink density decreased.

EPDM에 카본블랙과 더불어 무기 충전제인 탈크, 탄산칼슘, 혹은 클레이를 함께 혼합하여 EPDM 배합물과 가황물을 제조하여, 무기 충전제가 EPDM 배합물과 가황물의 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 무기 충전제를 추가해도 결합 고무 함량(bound rubber content)에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 무기 충전제 함량이 높을수록 큰 입자로 존재함을 확인하였다. 무기 충전제를 추가하면 가교 시간은 전반적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 델타 토크(delta torque)는 감소하였다. 무기 충전제를 추가하면 모듈러스는 전반적으로 감소하였으나, 신율과 인장강도 그리고 인열강도는 증가하였다. 모듈러스의 감소와 신율의 증가는 가교밀도의 감소로 설명하였으며, 인장강도와 인열강도의 증가는 신율의 증가로 설명하였다. 무기 충전제의 첨가에 의해 보강성은 증가하지 않았고 가교밀도는 감소하였다.
