Sol-Gel Tehcnology
|
Generates SBR/SiO2 composites
by using Sol-Gel Technology with added SiO2 precursor
during the SBR/Latex production process, as it
performs excellent in hardness, tearing resistance,
etc. Scope of applications:
Can be used in the developments of organic/nonorganic
of emulsion polymeric composites.Technical Specifications:
Sol-Gel Process, In-Situ SiO2 Reinforcement. SBR/SiO2
Hybrid.Technical Characteristics:
Can overcome traditional butyl rubber accessories
to use Master Batch directly.
Technical competitiveness:
Low reactive temperature, low pollution during
manufacturing process, product possesses better
physical properties.
Technical development and breakthrough:
Our technology uses PH=10 Buffer Solution, which
is different from other amine, ammonium hydroxide,
acid etc., used in general. |

This study engages in
Sol-Gel reaction process with SBR Latex, NBR Latex,
and SiO2 precursor under the existence of catalysts
as the manufactured SiO2 contents may achieve
30% SBR/SiO2 Hybrid and 15% NBR/SiO2 Hybrid of
nanodispersed elastomer composites, which can
directly achieve the effect of dispersion and
patching; physical property aspect: in comparison
between the tearing resistance of SBR system and
the traditional added silica, the result has enhanced
by 2.1 times the original while the tensile strength
has enhanced by 1.2; tearing resistance of NBR
has enhanced by 1.8 times the original while the
tensile strength has enhanced by 2.2, as it holds
the advantages such as convenient manufacturing
process, stability, less pollution, energy saving,
directly patching, etc. |

R&D and applications of Nanobutyl rubber...Foreign
InMat Inc. is a new innovative
company located in Hillsborough, New Jersey, U.S.A., who has
successfully developed a nanobutyl rubber by using a nanocomposite
material called vermiculite. Based on the applications of
the modified butyl rubber abroad, the product of InMat Company
is basically a nanocomposite coating, in which the key to
its patented manufacturing process is the aqueous suspensions
of nanodispersed vermiculite applied via standard coating
processes to Latex substrate. InMat has successfully applied
such nanotechnology in increasing air retention of the tennis
balls, as it is the best example of a nanobutyl rubber product
that is being used in commercial applications.
