Abstract:

The structure and properties of polybutadiene rubber(BR) with narrow molecular mass distribution synthesized by rare earth Nd catalysts(NMWD-NdBR) were studied and compared with those of the sample with a wider molecular weight distribution(WMWD-NdBR). The results show that NMWD-NdBR gets a steady rheological behavior under the same rotation rate. The scorch time and the optimum curing point of NMWD-NdBR are similar to those of WMWD-NdBR, but the minimum torque(ML), maximum torque(MH) and mechanical properties of NMWD-NdBR are slightly better than those of WMWD-NdBR. The data of rubber processing analyzer(RPA) show that the Payne effect of NMWD-NdBR are similar to those of WMWD-NdBR, and the hysteresis loss(tanδ) of NMWD-NdBR are superior to those of WMWD-NdBR. The results of tanδ data are in good agreement with those of carbon black dispersion, heat build-up, permanent set, as well as rolling resistance.
