AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Graphene has poor compatibility with EPDM rubber, and EPDM rubber has poor flame retardancy.
Method used
By preparing flame-retardant modified graphene, a graft polymerization reaction was carried out between vinyl acetate flame retardant and KH570 modified graphene to graft polyvinyl acetate molecular chains onto the graphene surface. Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer was added as a compatibilizer to enhance the compatibility between graphene and EPDM rubber and improve dispersibility.
Benefits of technology
The modified graphene-reinforced EPDM rubber composite material exhibits significantly improved Shore A hardness, tensile properties, and tear strength, as well as enhanced flame retardancy and a higher limiting oxygen index.

Abstract
This invention relates to the field of EPDM rubber technology, and discloses a modified graphene-reinforced EPDM rubber composite material and its preparation method, comprising 100 parts by weight of EPDM rubber, 1-1.4 parts by weight of antioxidant, 2-3 parts by weight of sulfur, 1-1.5 parts by weight of accelerator, 0.5-5 parts by weight of flame-retardant modified graphene, and 0.15-2 parts by weight of compatibilizer ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer of this invention can act as a compatibilizer, enhancing the compatibility between the flame-retardant modified graphene and EPDM rubber, allowing graphene to play a better reinforcing role and significantly improving the material's hardness and other mechanical properties. The flame-retardant modified graphene contains a large number of diphenyl bisphosphate flame-retardant groups, acting as a phosphorus-containing flame retardant, giving the composite material better flame-retardant properties and exhibiting a higher limiting oxygen index.
