Einfluss des polymerrückgrats auf eigenschaften von thermoplastischen elastomeren

subject

description

4-Urazoyl benzoic acid groups were statistically attached to various hydrocarbon elastomers, polar elastomers and partially crystalline polymers via a polymer-analogous reaction. DSC, FTIR, stress-strain experiments and dynamic-mechanical analysis were used to analyse whether these systems, analogous to functionalized polybutadienes, would form ordered supra-molecular structures of the polar side-groups that would lead to a thermoreversible crosslinking. While the structure formation is suppressed for elastomers with a large cross-sectional area of the chain (e.g. butyl rubber) or polar side-groups, (e.g. polychloroprene), the mechanical propertie can be controlled by balancing supermolecular formation and crystallization in the case of polyoctenamer
