Description

Method for evaluating processability of rubber compound
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of rubber detection, and particularly relates to an evaluation method for processability of rubber compound.
Background
Natural Rubber (NR) has been receiving attention from users as an important strategic material and industrial raw material, and its quality and properties have been in the spotlight. Due to different regions, climates, rubber tree types and production methods, the performances of rubber compounds have obvious differences, and the rubber compounds are generally divided into five grades of 5L, 5, 10, 20, 50 and the like according to seven items of impurity content, initial plastic value, plastic retention rate, nitrogen content, volatile matter content, ash content, color index and the like in raw rubber, wherein the impurity content is taken as a main index, and the impurity content is divided into five grades according to the number of impurities.
For rubber product enterprises such as tires, the processability of rubber compounds has a great influence on the homogenization and mixing of rubber compounds. The processability of rubber mixes depends on the viscoelasticity of the rubber mix, the main parameters influencing the viscoelasticity of the rubber mix being the relative molecular weight and its molecular weight distribution.
At present, various large rubber product enterprises always use the Mooney viscosity as one of the quality indexes of rubber compound, and the Mooney viscosity value is considered to be large, which indicates that the flow resistance of raw rubber is large, the relative molecular weight is large, and the processability is poor. However, it has been demonstrated through extensive field tests that the processability of rubbers having the same Mooney viscosity values still differ greatly. This is because the molecular weight of the rubber itself is too large, the movement of the rubber molecular chain is small, and when the rubber is forced to flow by the rapid rotation in the Mooney viscosity test, slipping or the rotor stopping rotation is easily caused. The Mooney viscosity results are therefore independent of the relative molecular weight of the rubber at this time.
Based on the difference in Mooney viscosity versus relative molecular weight characterization of the rubber compound, researchers have generally used Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) to test the relative molecular weight of the rubber compound and its molecular weight distribution, but proteins, phospholipids, phosphate groups, and the like in the rubber compound can generate similar physical cross-linking points, affecting GPC testing relative molecular weight.
In addition, many rubber companies and researchers have employed Rubber Processing Analyzers (RPAs) to measure the rheological properties of rubber. The properties of rubber are generally judged by the modulus and tan σ as measured by strain or frequency sweep.
