Influence Study of Plasticizer Compatibility on Strength Properties of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate

Abstract

This research is devoted to the actual problem of the development of damping polymer materials which are effective in a wide range of temperatures and having satisfactory strength characteristics. There are many works devoted to the study of dynamic mechanical properties of filled composites, but most do not take into account the influence of plasticizer on the strength properties of the polymer, as they change its characteristics for the worse. In this respect, the study and comparison of the mechanical properties of the polymer base with the introduction of different types and concentrations of plasticizers is an urgent task. According to the received regularities it was possible to define the type, concentration and boundaries of the polarity of the plasticizer, which reduces the strength characteristics of ethylene-vinyl acetate to a lesser degree.

Molecular-Level Insight of CP52/NBR Damping Composites through a Combination of Molecular Dynamics Simulation and Experimental Method

“…It is usually added to rubber materials as a flame retardant or plasticizer, and the added amount is generally no more than 10 phr (parts per hundred of rubber) [ 7 , 8 ]. There are a few reports on using CP to enhance the damping property of rubber materials [ 9 , 10 ].…”
