Abstract: | The effects of styrene butadiene rubber/virgin acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (SBR/NBRv) blends and styrene butadiene rubber/recycled acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (SBR/NBRr) blends on properties such Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were carried out. Results indicated that, based on intensity of amine peak from FTIR at 85/15 blend ratio (R15) revealed optimum formation of crosslink between SBR and NBR either using virgin or NBRr. TG thermograms of SBR/NBRv blends of all ratios showed better onset thermal stability than SBR/NBRr blends. The change in the horizontal baseline from high to low energy level occurred in virgin NBR blends because the amount of reactive sites available in virgin NBR is higher compared to NBRr. Meanwhile NBRr blends showed Tc because the amount of crosslink occurred in these blends were slightly lower than NBRv blends. Up to 25 phr of NBRr, the tensile strength and elongation at break (Eb) retention of SBR/NBRv blends was better than SBR/NBRr blends after 6 months' weathering test except for M100. The scanning electron microscopy on the surface of both blends after 6 months exposure indicated that the severity of the crack was minimal for SBR/NBRr blends compared to SBR/NBRv particularly at 50/50 blend ratio designated the SBR/NBRr blends that contained more NBRr particles could reduce the degradation towards natural weathering. |
