摘要
Bio-based elastomer poly(diethyl itaconate-co-isoprene)(PDEII) was designed and synthesized by redox-initiated emulsion polymerization from diethyl itaconate and isoprene with mass ratio of 20:80, 40:60, 60:40 and 80:20. The number-average molecular weights of PDEII exceeded 140000 with relatively high yields. The physical properties of PDEII, such as glass transition temperatures and thermostability, were comparable with conventional synthetic elastomers and can be readily tuned by varying the ratio of diethyl itaconate to isoprene. The interaction between silica and PDEII macromolecules was effectively enhanced with the increase of diethyl itaconate content by endowing high polarity. The oil-resistance relevant properties of silica/PDEII80(80% diethyl itaconate, 20% isoprene) such as retention of tensile strength, retention of elongation at break and change in volume even surpass those of silica/NBR 240 S after soaked in ASTM 3# oil at different temperatures.
