“…Snijders et al [15] studied the influence of the type and amount of diene on the stability of EPDM in an artificial weathering device, in which xenon lamp was used as light source. Aimura and Wada [16] investigated the aging behavior of EPDM in an artificial weathering environment, which employed xenon lamp and carbon-arc lamp as light sources, respectively. However, few papers were found to focus on the aging behavior of EPDM upon exposure to artificial weathering environment in which UV fluorescent lamp was used as light source and condensation equipment was adopted.…”

“…If artificial testing is to be successful, it is essential to evaluate the correlation between E-UV and E-Xe environments. Aimura and Wada [9] evaluated the weathering property of EPDM in an artificial weathering environment, in which xenon lamp and carbon-arc lamp were employed as light sources, respectively. However, few papers were focused on the correlation between E-UV and E-Xe environments.…”

Artificial weathering tests on ethylene-propylenediene monomer (EPDM) rubber were conducted in a fluorescent UV/condensation weathering equipment (E-UV environment) and a xenon lamp light exposure and weathering equipment (E-Xe environment) for different time periods. The correlation between E-UV and E-Xe environment was investigated by using crosslink density as criteria. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to evaluate the thermal stability of EPDM. The fracture morphology was monitored by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the correlation between E-UV and E-Xe environments can be expressed as: t Xe ¼ À7:4818 þ 1:1837t XeÀUV ; where the correlation coefficient R is 0.9856. The thermal stability of EPDM did not deteriorate dramatically on exposure to the two artificial weathering environments. An oxidation layer was formed after 90 days of exposure.

The effect of recycled acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBRr) content of SBR/NBRr blends on natural weathering was studied. Three different size of NBRr (S1; 117-334 mm, S2; 0.85-15.0 mm and S3; direct sheeted form) were used and the blends were exposed to natural weathering for 3 and 6 months. The results indicated that the SBR/NBRr blends with smallest size of NBRr (S1) show a better retention of tensile properties, which are able to withstand better weathering than coarser size (S2 and S3) of SBR/NBRr blends. The presence of hydroxyl, carbonyl and nitro group after exposure to natural weathering was detected in FTIR analysis, which related to the UV oxidation process of rubber blends. The scanning electron microscopy proved that the SBR/NBRr blends with smallest size of NBRr (S1) with higher content of NBRr, shows a better resistant to natural weathering.
