Abstract:The preparation of dynamically vulcanized TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane)/EVM (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer rubber) blends and the effect of two peroxide curing agents, DCP (dicumyl peroxide) and BIPB (bis(tert-butyl peroxy isopropyl) benzene) on the mechanical properties, hot air aging, and oil resistance were investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), phase-contrast microscopy (PCM), and magnetic resonance crosslink density spectroscopy (MR-CDS) were used to analyze the curing reaction, phase structure, and crosslink density of dynamic vulcanizates. The results showed that the optimum parameters for dynamically vulcanized TPU/EVM by peroxide-DCP or BIPB in a HAAKE rheometer were: mixing temperature 140-150 degrees C and rotor speed 30 rpm. The mechanical properties and oil resistance of these blends were improved by dynamic vulcanization. It was found that BIPB is a better curing agent than DCP for the dynamic vulcanization of TPU/EVM and its optimum content was 0.8 phr in the blend. FTIR spectra showed EVM and TPU could both be cured by peroxide in the blend and the curing reaction occurred at -CH(2)-groups that were linked with -C-instead of -O- and -CH(3) groups in the blend. PCM photographs showed that dynamically vulcanized TPU/EVM blends had "sea-island" phase structure when the curing agent content was low and it had "interlocked/co-continuous" phase structure as the curing agent content was increased. The spin-lattice relaxation constant, T(21), measured with MR-CDS proved that the crosslink density of the cured blends increased with increasing curing agent content.
