Improved high-temperature damping performance of nitrile-butadiene rubber/phenolic resin composites by introducing different hindered amine molecules

Abstract

AbstractBy introducing hindered amine GW-622 or GW-944 into nitrile-butadiene rubber/phenolic resin (NBR/PR, abbreviated as NBPR) matrix, we have prepared different hindered amine/NBR/PR ternary hybrid damping materials with high-temperature damping performance, respectively. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DMA) were used to research the microstructure, compatibility, and damping properties of the hindered amine/NBPR composites. FTIR results indicate that hydrogen bonds are formed between the hindered amine and the NBPR matrix. Both DSC and SEM results show that hindered amine has partial compatibility with the NBPR matrix. DMA results show that two loss peaks appear in the hindered amine/NBPR composite. Thereby, the composites show better damping performance at a higher temperature, and the temperature domain of high-temperature damping becomes wider with the increase in the addition of hindered amine. This study provides a theoretical support for the preparation of high-temperature damping materials.
