The invention relates to a low-temperature-resistant low-
hardness thermoplastic elastomer and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of high-molecular elastomers. The low-temperature-resistant low-
hardness thermoplastic elastomer is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by
mass: 10-40 parts of
polypropylene resin, 60-90 parts of powdered
styrene-butadiene rubber containing carbon nanotubes, 5-20 parts of polyisobutene, 1-5 parts of a vulcanizing agent, and 0.1-1 part of an
accelerant. According to the invention,
styrene-butadiene rubber and
polypropylene resin are taken as basic raw materials, a dynamic
vulcanization technology is adopted, the powdered
styrene-butadiene rubber containing carbon nanotubes is prepared by a co-
flocculation process of a
carbon nanotube emulsion and a styrene-butadiene rubber
emulsion, the powdered styrene-butadiene rubber is blended with
polypropylene resin, and low-molecular-weight polyisobutene is used for oil-filled
softening to prepare the low-temperature-resistant low-
hardness thermoplastic elastomer. The problem of large permanent deformation caused by poor dispersibility of the filler is solved by using the co-
flocculation process of the
carbon nanotube emulsion and the styrene-butadiene rubber emulsion, the hardness of the TPV product is reduced by filling the low-molecular-weight polyisobutene, and the TPV has excellent low-
temperature resistance.
