  • 摘要: 为揭示弹性体复合材料在不同服役环境下力学性能的劣化规律,以促进其在无溶剂涂层领域的推广应用,制备了超高分子量聚乙烯/弹性体(UHMWPE/EL)复合材料,模拟了湿热老化、低温脆化与气候老化等应用场景,研究了不同场景下弹性体及其复合材料的各项力学性能演变过程及规律,评价了不同变形及环境温度下复合材料的形状自动回复能力损伤状况,最终探明了复合材料的耐久性及环境适应性。结果表明:UHMWPE/EL复合材料在不同应用环境连续暴露7天或81 h后的力学性能保持率均大于90%,满足规范要求;湿热、寒冷、气候老化等环境暴露30天后,复合材料力学性能衰减15%~20%;复合材料具有优异热稳定性与形状自动回复能力,拉伸、弯曲和扭转等不同变形方式下的回复率达90%以上。

     

    Abstract: The purpose is to reveal the deterioration law of mechanical properties for elastomer composites at different service environments and promote their popularization and application in the field of solvent-free coatings. Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene/elastomer (UHMWPE/EL) composites were prepared. Application environments such as hydrothermal aging, low-temperature embrittlement and climate aging were simulated, and the evolution process and laws of various mechanical properties for elastomer and its composites at different environments were studied. The damage status of shape auto restore ability for composites at different deformations and temperatures was evaluated. Finally, the durability and environmental adaptability of composites were proved. The results show that after continuous exposure for 7 days or 81 h at different application environments, the retention rates of mechanical properties for UHMWPE/EL composites are more than 90%, which meet the requirements of specifications. And the mechanical properties of composites decrease 15%-20% after being exposed to hygrothermal environment, cold environment and weathering environment for 30 days. The composites have obvious thermal stability and automatic shape recovery ability, and the recovery rates at different deformation modes of tension, bending and torsion are over 90%.
