AI Technical Summary
The poor compatibility between silicone rubber and polyurethane results in poor mechanical properties of TPV materials, particularly low tensile strength, elongation at break, and tear strength.
Polystyrene-based cashew phenol is used as a compatibilizer. Through the co-vulcanization reaction of it with silicone rubber masterbatch, polyurethane elastomer, vulcanizing agent and platinum catalyst, the compatibility between silicone rubber and polyurethane is enhanced. The aliphatic carbon chain of styrene-based cashew phenol is used to crosslink with hydrogen-containing silicone oil to improve the bonding strength. The compatibility with polyurethane is also improved through the urethane group.
It significantly improves the tensile strength, elongation at break, and tear strength of TPV sealing materials, meeting the practical application requirements of automotive engine sealing materials.
