Climatic Resistance of Elastomer Composites Based on Ethylene Propylene Diene Rubbers and UHMWPE
摘要
Abstract
A comprehensive assessment of the climatic durability of SKEPT‑based rubbers was carried out under prolonged natural and accelerated laboratory testing. The suitability of SVMPE as a modifier for SKEPT‑based rubbers was substantiated. It was shown that the modified rubbers exhibit a high degree of retention of physicomechanical and low‑temperature properties during aging due to an increased fraction of saturated bonds, which confer resistance of the polymers to destructive factors, as well as enhanced interfacial interaction between SVMPE and the rubber.
