Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vulcanized rubber, and more specifically, to a rubber composition, a vulcanized rubber, a method for preparing the same, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Damping materials are materials that convert the mechanical kinetic energy of solids into internal energy and dissipate it, primarily used for vibration and sound control. Rubber, as one of the key materials in the preparation of damping materials, has a significant impact on the molecular motion of polymers due to its microscopic molecular structure and sequence structure (such as the saturation degree and polarity of the main chain, the length and content of side chains, and the distribution of monomers in the copolymer). This ultimately affects the damping value and damping temperature range of the polymer material.

[0003] Rubber materials meet two requirements: first, the characteristic acoustic impedance of rubber must match the acoustic impedance of the sound wave propagation medium (water); second, rubber must have high damping, ensuring that sound energy is fully absorbed when it enters the material layer due to high energy attenuation. Rubber's viscoelasticity is the main reason for its use as a water-absorbing material. When sound waves act on rubber, the material deforms, and the relaxation of the rubber molecular chains causes a hysteresis effect, where strain lags behind stress, resulting in energy loss. Butyl rubber, due to its high internal loss and excellent water and aging resistance, is suitable for use as a sound-absorbing rubber. However, butyl rubber has poor adhesion, necessitating the search for a replacement material. Furthermore, a higher loss factor leads to a higher reflection coefficient and poorer impedance matching with water, creating a contradiction between impedance matching requirements and high loss.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to research and develop a vulcanized rubber suitable for preparing high-damping sound-absorbing materials or damping vibration-damping materials. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem of poor damping and vibration reduction effect of styrene-butadiene vulcanized rubber in the prior art, and to provide a rubber composition, vulcanized rubber, preparation method and application thereof, wherein the vulcanized rubber has excellent mechanical properties, high damping factor and sound absorption coefficient.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides a high-damping sound-absorbing rubber composition, wherein the composition comprises a rubber matrix, carbon black, hollow carbon spheres, layered silicate, activator, antioxidant, softener, tackifying resin, vulcanizing agent, and accelerator, wherein the rubber matrix is ​​a blend of styrene-butadiene rubber and high-vinyl polybutadiene rubber, wherein the styrene-butadiene rubber contains 30-55% styrene and has a Mooney viscosity of ML. (1+4) 100℃ corresponds to 40-80.

[0007] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing vulcanized rubber using the aforementioned composition, wherein the method comprises:

[0008] (1) The rubber matrix, activator, antioxidant and tackifying resin are first mixed to obtain a masterbatch;

[0009] (2) The first stage of masterbatch is mixed with carbon black, hollow carbon balls, layered silicates and softener for a second mixing to obtain the second stage of masterbatch;

[0010] (3) The second-stage masterbatch is mixed with vulcanizing agent and accelerator in a third mixing process to obtain the final compound;

[0011] (4) The final rubber compound is vulcanized to obtain vulcanized rubber.

[0012] A third aspect of the present invention provides a vulcanized rubber prepared by the method described above.

[0013] The fourth aspect of the present invention provides an application of the aforementioned vulcanized rubber in the preparation of high-damping sound-absorbing materials or damping vibration-damping materials.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the styrene content in styrene-butadiene rubber is increased, and the hardness and elongation of the vulcanized rubber are improved to varying degrees. From the microscopic structure, the internal friction between molecules increases and the internal consumption is improved, so that the vulcanized rubber has different mechanical properties, high damping factor and sound absorption coefficient, and is also suitable for preparing sound-absorbing materials or damping vibration reduction materials. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The endpoints and any values ​​of the ranges disclosed herein are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values ​​should be understood to include values ​​close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoint values ​​of the various ranges, the endpoint values ​​of the various ranges and individual point values, and individual point values ​​can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered as specifically disclosed herein.

[0016] As previously stated, the first aspect of this invention provides a high-damping sound-absorbing rubber composition, wherein the composition comprises a rubber matrix, carbon black, hollow carbon spheres, layered silicates, an activator, an antioxidant, a softener, a tackifying resin, a vulcanizing agent, and an accelerator, wherein the rubber matrix is ​​a blend of styrene-butadiene rubber and high-vinyl polybutadiene rubber, wherein the styrene-butadiene rubber contains 30-55% styrene and has a Mooney viscosity of ML. (1+4) 100℃ corresponds to 40-80.

[0017] The inventors of this invention discovered that although styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) has a relatively low sound absorption coefficient and its damping properties are not as excellent as butyl rubber, this can be compensated for by adjusting the rubber formulation and product structure. The vulcanized rubber provided by this invention, with SBR as the main component, features large groups like benzene rings in its structure that can vibrate freely with significant vibrational energy, which helps increase the material's internal friction. When there is a phase difference between the frequency of the incident sound wave and the vibrational frequency of the benzene rings, the sound wave will inevitably consume some energy to impede the vibration of the benzene rings, thereby achieving sound absorption. The number of freely vibrating benzene rings in SBR is closely related to its sound absorption capacity; the more freely vibrating benzene rings, the better the sound absorption. That is, when butadiene and styrene copolymerize and reach complete random polymerization, the sound absorption performance of SBR is relatively high.

[0018] Furthermore, the inventors of this invention used a compound molybdenum-based catalyst to prepare a high-vinyl polybutadiene rubber, which increased the 1,2-vinyl structure content in the high-vinyl polybutadiene rubber. Under the action of external force at a certain frequency, the dense vinyl side groups can increase the relaxation resistance and internal friction of the chain segments. Its glass transition temperature is about -25°C, which is closer to room temperature than other commonly used rubber damping materials.

[0019] Furthermore, the inventors of this invention have achieved a balance between the sound absorption coefficient and damping performance of rubber to a certain extent by using high-vinyl polybutadiene rubber in combination with styrene-butadiene rubber.
