摘要

In this study

composite particles (A-N) with both slow-release and reinforcing functions were obtained by loading the antioxidant into the pores of silica aerogel powders. Thermo-oxidative aging of vulcanized rubber was inhibited by continuous release of antioxidant from A-N.

Abstract

The antioxidant

-isopropyl-

'-phenyl-

-phenylenediamine (4010NA) was dissolved in ethanol and impregnated into silica aerogel (SAG)

via

vacuum-pressure cycles

yielding composite particles (A-N) with enhanced sustained-release and reinforcing capabilities. The effect of A-N on the mechanical properties and thermal-oxidative aging resistance of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) vulcanizates was investigated. TGA and BET assessments indicated that the loading efficiency of 4010NA in SAG reached 14.26% within ethanol's solubility limit. Incorporating A-N into SBR vulcanizates significantly elevated tensile strength by 17.5% and elongation at break by 41.9% over those with fumed silica and free 4010NA. Furthermore

A-N notably enhanced the thermal-oxidative aging resistance of SBR. After aging for 96 h at 100 °C

the tensile strength and elongation at break of SBR with A-N sustained 70.09% and 58.61% of their initial values

respectively

with the retention rate of elongation at break being 62.8% higher

than that of SBR with fumed silica and free antioxidant. The study revealed that A-N composite particles significantly inhibited the crosslinking in SBR's molecular chains

reducing hardening and embrittlement during later thermal-oxidative aging stages.
