Ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer (EPDM) rubber is an important commercial polymer. The vulcanization process significantly changes its thermal, mechanical, and vulcametric properties. This study was carried out to find optimum formulation of EPDM composite for a better application in automotive industry. Sixteen EPDM polymer samples having different 5-ethylidene 2-norbornene (ENB) and ethylene contents were vulcanized with different types and compositions of pet-oxide and coagents. The mechanical and vulcametric properties of these samples were measured and compared. The type of peroxide, coagent, and EPDM grade affected the mechanical, thermal, and vulcametric properties of the EPDM rubber to some extend. Use of aromatic peroxide and coagent increased the thermal stability slightly. Mechanical properties were changed very slightly with the change of peroxide type for the same content of peroxide and coagent. Scorch time and cure time decreased with initial increase of the peroxide content. EPDM compound vulcanized with BBPIB peroxide and TAC/S coagent has higher cure time than EPDM compound vulcanized with DMBPHa peroxide and TMPTMA coagent. Coran method was used for the modeling of experimental data. Velocity constant for the formation of peroxide radical and polymer radical were found for each case. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mechanical properties of soft liner-poly(methyl methacrylate)-based denture material Usanmaz, Ali; Latifoglu, MA; Dogan, A; Akkas, N; Yetmez, M (Wiley, 2002-07-18) In this study, the mechanical properties of two different permanent soft lining materials and their bonding to poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were compared. Both of the soft liners were heat-cured commercial materials. The polymerization was carried out by conventional methods suggested by manufacturer, and the curing was done at the temperature of boiling water for 5, 15, 25, and 35 min. The sample groups were tested in the computer-aided tensile-testing machine at a rate of 2 mm/min. The slow rate helps...
Additives for ultraviolet-induced oxidative degradation of low-density polyethylene Oluz, Zehra; Tincer, İsmail Teoman (Wiley, 2016-05-05) Polyethylene (PE) is one of the most widely produced and widely used plastics in the world. Saturated hydrocarbons cannot absorb the energy of the light reaching earth, so the degradation process is rather slow; this, in return, causes disposal problems. On the other hand, it was observed that in the presence of oxygen and impurities in the polymer matrix, the degradation could be reduced to shorter time intervals. In this study, vanadium(III) acetyl acetonate (VAc), serpentine (SE), and Cloisite 30B (CL) w...
Viscoelastic characteristics of chain extended/branched and linear polyethylene terephthalate resins Yılmazer, Ülkü; Xanthos, M; Bayram, Göknur; Tan, V (Wiley, 2000-03-01) Two chemically modified chain extended/branched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins and one unmodified resin, considered to be linear, were characterized in terms of their melt flow, die swell, and viscoelastic properties. The three resins had reportedly similar nominal intrinsic viscosities but exhibited different viscoelastic behavior. The modified resins had lower melt flow index, higher die swell, higher complex viscosity and higher storage modulus than the unmodified one. The Cole-Cole plots of the...
Dynamic mechanical properties of dental base material reinforced with glass fiber Karacaer, O; Dogan, A; Dogan, OM; Usanmaz, Ali (Wiley, 2002-08-22) Dynamic mechanical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) reinforced with glass fibers were investigated. The composite used as dental base material contained other additives for different purposes to give the same appearance as natural dentals. The fiber-polymer bonding and orientation of fibers in polymer matrix are very important in the application of the product. To see that, the fibers were treated with silane and compared with untreated fibers. The commercial polymer and monomer used were the ...
Compatibility study of waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) with poly(vinyl chloride). II Akovali, G; Karababa, Eminegül (Wiley, 1998-05-02) In this study, exploration of possibilities for use of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) in powder form as a filler in the PVC matrix was made. Powdered PET surfaces were modified by plasma to enhance the degree of interaction and, hence, the compatibilities. For modification, a series of different chlorine-containing monomers at two plasma operational conditions selected were used, in addition to the direct use of an oligomer of vinyl chloride. A series of mechanical, thermal, and surface energy ...
