Abstract
Three types of modified starches (MST): Starch-g-poly(butyl acrylate) (ST-g-PBA), starch-g-poly (methyl methacrylate) (ST-g-PMMA) and starch-g-polystyrene (ST-g-PS) latexes were successfully synthesized by emulsion polymerization. These synthesized MST latexes were then directly compounded with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) latex in order to prepare MST/SBR compounds. The vulcanization characteristics, morphology, swelling ratio, mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties were investigated. Results indicated that the incorporation of starch or MST led to both an increase in the torque values and the cure rate of SBR compounds. MST with a particle size of approximately 200–400 nm uniformly dispersed in the SBR matrix, indicating the significantly improved dispersion. MST/SBR compounds exhibited better mechanical properties compared with starch/SBR (ST/SBR) compounds. Among the MST/SBR compounds, ST-g-PMMA/SBR compounds showed optimum tensile strength, which was even higher than that of carbon black/SBR (CB/SBR) compounds with the same loading of fillers. Finally, the reinforcing mechanism of MST in the SBR matrix was discussed.
