Abstract:

A new type of synthetic trans-1,4-poly(butadiene-co-isoprene) copolymer rubber(TBIR) was introduced into the traditional chloroprene rubber(CR) as damping matrix for railway track damping rubber cushion. It was found that CR/TBIR blends exhibited excellent comprehensive properties including significantly increased tensile strength and modulus of the CR/TBIR compounds, the obviously improved tensile strength, tear strength, compression permanent deformation, dynamic and static stiffness ratio and fatigue resistance of the CR/TBIR vulcanizates. Especially, the 1st flexural fatigue lifetimes showed 50%—400% improvements for unfilled CR/TBIR vulcanizates and 40%—180% improvements for the filled CR/TBIR vulcanizates; the 6th flexural fatigue lifetimes showed 60%—500% improvements for the unfilled CR/TBIR vulcanizates and 30%—120% improvements for filled CR/TBIR vulcanizates. Compared with the unfilled CR/TBIR vulcanizates, the 1st flexural fatigue lifetime, tear strength and tensile property of the filled CR/TBIR vulcanizates improved greatly, which were attributed to the better filler dispersion and improved filler-polymer interactions in the CR/TBIR vulcanizates. Compared with pure CR vulcanizate, m(CR):m(TBIR)=90:10(mass ratio) vulcanizate exhibited balanced comprehensive performances with loss factor changed little.
