In this work, a small amount of trimethylolpropane triacrylate （TMPTA） was incorporated into poly（ethylene terephthalate） （PET）/random terpolymer elastomer （ST2000） blends by melt-blending. The existence of TMPTA would induce the crosslinking of PET and ST2000 molecular chains at high temperatures of blend- ing, resulting in the improvement in the impact strength but the loss in the tensile strength. When the PET/ST2000 blends were irradiated by gamma-ray radiation, the integrated me- chanical properties could be enhanced significantly at a high absorbed dose. The irradiated sample at a dose of 100 kGy even couldn＇t be broken under the impact test load, and at the same time, has nearly no loss of tensile strength. Based on the analysis of the impact- fractured surface morphologies of the blends, it can be concluded that gamma-ray radiation at high absorbed dose can further in situ enhance the interfacial adhesion by promoting the crosslinking reactions of TMPTA and polymer chains. As a result, the toughness and strength of PET/ST2000 blend could be dramatically improved. This work provides a facial and practical way to the fabrication of polymer blends with high toughness and strength.展开更多

The optimum synthesis conditions were that the concentration of triphenyl phosphine was 0.85wt% of reactants, the concentration of p-hydroxyanisole was 0.3wt% of reactants, and the reaction temperature was at 90-110 ℃. Benzil dimethyl ketal of a UV-cured initiator was added to the synthesized trimethylolpropane triglycidylether triacrylate to prepare a kind of UV-cured coating. The mechanical properties of the UV-cured films were determined, giving 28.43 MPa of tensile strength, 965.59MPa of (Young's) modulus and 4.10% of elongation at tear.展开更多

The structure and morphology of modified GG were characterized by Fourier transform infrared（FT-IR） spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, differential scanning calorimetry（DSC） and scanning electron microscopy（SEM）. The characteristic peaks at 3448, 2788, 1654, 1411, 1117 and 1044 cm-1）in the FT-IR spectrum confirm the modification. The XRD and DSC data revealed that the modification enhanced the thermal stability of GG. SEM analysis suggested the modification introduced a porous microstructure, resulting in the adsorption of crystal violet. In addition, the adsorption capacity, thermal stability and swelling property of GGTTE3 were superior to GGTTE1, GGTTE2, GGTTE4 and GGTTE5.展开更多

The EPDM blends with 100 phr different inorganic fillers can be photocrosslinked to gel content of above 60% by 5 s UV-irradiation under optimum conditions. Under the same conditions of irradiation, the orders of photocrosslinking rate and final gel content are EPDM/CaCO3 〉 EPDM/talc 〉 EPDM/CK. The data from thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, electrical properties, mechanical tests and scanning electron microscopy show that UV irradiation crosslinking apparently enhances the thermal stability, mechanical properties and electrical properties of the photocrosslinked EPDM/inorganic filler samples. Although the attenuated total-reflection FTIR data show that inorganic fillers can promote the surface photo-oxidation of EPDM/inorganic filler samples with increasing the irradiation time, the above related properties of the photocrosslinked EPDM blends irradiated within 5 s are enough to satisfy many applications in the cable industry.展开更多
