Preparation and properties of a novel bio-based and non-crystalline engineering elastomer with high low-temperature and oil resistance

摘要

A series of poly(succinic acid/sebacic acid/itaconic acid/butanediol/propanediol) bio-based and non-crystalline engineering elastomers (BEE) were obtained by changing the molar ratio of succinic acid (SA) to sebacic acid (SeA) from 5:5 (BEE-5) to 8:2 (BEE-8). We prepared bio-based engineering elastomer composites (BEE/CB) by mixing BEE with carbon black N330. The low-temperature and oil resistance properties of the BEE/CB composites were investigated in terms of low-temperature brittleness, coefficient of cold resistance under compression, oil resistance test at different temperatures, and tensile properties. The results showed that the low-temperature brittleness temperature of the BEE/CB composites ranged from -50 to -60 degrees C and the coefficient of cold resistance under compression was 0.18 high at -60 degrees C for BEE-7/CB and 0.23 high at -40 degrees C for BEE-8/CB. The oil resistance properties of BEE-7/CB were higher than those of nitrile-butadiene rubber N240S (NBR N240S), and the oil resistance properties of BEE-8/CB were even as high as those of nitrile-butadiene rubber N220S (NBR N220S).
