摘要

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) combine the elastic properties of thermoset cross-linked elastomers with the melt processability of thermoplastics (1,2). The strong growth of TPEs in the last decade is mainly related to the relatively low total-system-costs of end products produced via extrusion or injection moulding of TPEs, the possibility to recycle production scrap and after-use waste and, in some cases, an unique combination of physical properties. Thermoplastic vulcanisates (TPVs) are a particular class of TPEs, which are prepared via selective cross-linking of the rubber during mixing of a non-miscible blend of a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with a rubber (dynamic vulcanisation).Most commercial TPVs are based on blends of polypropylene (PP) andethylene/propylene/diene (EPDM) rubber, cross-linked with activated resol (1,2,3). In hindsight this can be explained by a combination of facts: ⅰ) PP has a high melting point, allowing relatively high-temperature applications, ⅱ) EPDM has a saturated main chain, resulting in a high resistance against ogygen, ozone, heat and light, ⅲ) PP and EPDM are compatible polymers, i.e. expensive compatibilisers are not required, and ⅳ) both polymers are relatively low cost. Resol cross-linking results in TPVs with a good balance of solid-state and melt properties. CommercialTPVs are produced on continuous extruders, which allow ⅰ) simple feeding of the various ingredients, ⅱ) have a high mixing efficiency, required for both dispersion of the two compatible polymers and of the resol cross-linker, and ⅲ) enable a high melt temperature, needed for the actual cross-linking.The final morphology of TPVs consists of a continuous thermoplastic phase with a cross-linked rubber dispersion (Fig. 1). This morphology explains the characteristic TPV properties. The elastic properties are related to the large quantity of cross-linked rubber particles, which are "connected" by the thermoplastic matrix (4,5). Melt processing is possible when the TPV is heated above the melting point of the semi-crystalline, thermoplastic, continuous phase; sufficient shear stress will enable flow (6). It has been shown that reduction of the dispersed rubber particles results in enhanced TPV tensile properties. Typical rubber domain sizes in commercial TPVs are in the 1 - 5 μm range. Smaller rubber particles can simply not be achieved on an extruder, because the shear forces are not large enough to overcome the large increase of interfacial tension upon further reduction of the particle size.
