摘要

Abstract

For decades

the preparation of polyisoprene rubber that can match the comprehensive properties of natural rubber (NR) has been pursued. While sacrificial bonds have been used to promote the strength and toughness of rubbers

little is known about their effects on fatigue resistance

which is important in dynamic environments. Herein

terminal block and randomly functionalized polyisoprene rubbers tethered with di-alanine

tri-alanine and tetra-alanine were prepared. The results showed that the flow activation energy

aggregates ordering and energy dissipation of the hydrogen-bonded aggregates increase with the elongation of oligopeptide length (

therefore resulting in enhanced mechanical strength and toughness of corresponding samples. Comparably

the tear strengths are barely affected by oligopeptide lengths in block samples

but promoted from dipeptide to tetrapeptide in random samples

probably due to the well dispersed oligopeptide aggregates. Most importantly

it is found that the tight binding aggregates of oligopeptides are critical for the excellent fatigue resistance

which is absent in polyisoprene and natural rubber. The loose aggregates dissociate and recombine repeatedly under cyclic loading and the tight aggregates keep the network integrated and robust. Interestingly

the largest hysteresis of PIP-4A-V with the longest oligopeptide length give the lowest heat generation

which is contrary to the traditional sacrificial bonds. Overall

the oligopeptide aggregates have repeatable energy dissipation properties and cycle life comparable to or even surpassing those of the linked proteins in NR

resulting in similar tensile strength

fracture toughness

and better fatigue resistance relative to NR. This deep insight on the role of oligopeptide aggregates is very useful for the engineering rubbers served in dynamic environments.
