针对现有曳引机减振常采用的高分子减振垫因环境因素而引发性能大幅退化问题,以电梯曳引机减振器的工程应用需求为导向,确定减振器所需阻尼元件的刚度后,采用真空渗流技术将硅橡胶填充入金属橡胶孔隙并形成包覆,研制出一款耐环境影响的高性能金属橡胶/硅橡胶连续互穿相复合减振材料(metal rubber-silicone rubber continuous interwoven phase composite damping material, MR-SRC)。然后基于实际结构建立电梯曳引机的有限元数值模型。对加装MR-SRC减振器前后的电梯曳引机进行了模态分析,确定了整体结构的固有频率和振型。对MR-SRC减振器进行冲击响应分析,对比不同MR-SRC材料和冲击载荷对响应的影响,校核减振器的强度。接着,基于MR-SRC的近似等效,对减振器系统的冲击响应进行了理论计算,得出金属橡胶密度为1.8 g/cm^(3)的MR-SRC减振器对减振效果最佳。最后将所制备的MR-SRC减振器安装于实际电梯曳引机,按照电梯减振国标要求,测试电梯在运行过程中的加速度和速度变化,计算并校核电梯运行的相关特性参数。该文章提出的减振器为电梯安全可靠运行提供了一种新途径。

基于FSR嵌入的智能泡沫在气动夹爪的应用

如何控制工业夹爪对易损物体的夹持力是一件具有挑战的任务,通常是利用有着力传感器的电动夹爪进行反馈控制,但这种方法昂贵且额外增加了夹爪的复杂程度。基于直书写3D打印,设计了一种内嵌力敏电阻器(FSR)的智能硅橡胶泡沫,安装在气动夹爪的指尖,不仅能监测夹持状态,还能在气压超过阈值后一定范围内,保持夹持力的恒定,以保护物体。实验结果表明:智能泡沫在4~12 N的工作范围内,误差不超过1.5N。当气压在450~560kPa范围内,能维持夹持力约14.6N。

Fabrication of a flexible microwave absorber sheet based on a composite filler with fly ash as the core filled silicone rubber

A new type of composite filler was designed by a modified sol-gel method using fly ash(FA),Fe(NO_(3))_(3)·9H_(2)O,and Ni(NO_(3))_(2)·6H_(2)O as raw materials.The composite filler was a spherical core-shell structure composed of FA as the core and NiFe_(2)O_(4)as the shell.Further,the composite filler was added into the silicone rubber to fabricate the high temperature vulcanized microwave absorption materials;X-ray diffraction,fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,and scanning electron microscope confirmed that NiFe_(2)O_(4)was successfully coated on the surface of FA and formed a uniform and continuous coating layer.As expected,silicone rubber filled with the composite filler had a minimum reflection loss of-23.8 dB at 17.5 GHz with the thickness of 1.8 mm,while the effective absorption bandwidth was as high as 12 GHz.The addition of the composite filler greatly enhanced the microwave absorption properties of the system,which was resulted from multiple losses mechanism:interface polarization losses,magnetic losses,and multiple reflection losses.Also,silicone rubber filled with the composite filler exhibited excellent thermal stability,flexibility,environmental resistance,and hydrophobicity compared with traditional silicone rubber.Therefore,this work not only responds to the green chemistry to achieve efficient FA recovery,but also devises a new strategy to prepare microwave absorption materials with strong potential for civilian applications.

A Boron-based Adhesion Aid for Efficient Bonding of Silicone Rubber and Epoxy Resin

We improved the adhesion between silicon based insulating materials and epoxy resin composites by adding the adhesion promoter cycloborosiloxane(BSi,cyclo-1,3,3,5,7,7-hexaphenyl-1,5-diboro-3,7-disiloxane).The experimental results show that the addition of BSi in the silicone rubber(SR)system significantly increases the tensile shear strength between BSi and epoxy resin(EP),reaching 309%of the original value.On this basis,the mechanism of BSi to enhance the adhesion effect was discussed.The electron deficient B in BSi attracted the electron rich N and O in EP to enhance the chemical interaction,combined with the interfacial migration behavior in the curing process,to improve the adhesion strength.This study provides the design and synthesis ideas of adhesive aids,and a reference for further exploring the interface mechanism of epoxy resin matrix composites.

充油电缆终端用PIB与SR/EP的相容性研究

高压充油电缆终端中既有硅橡胶(SR)、三元乙丙橡胶(EP)和绝缘自粘带等固体介质,也有二甲基硅油或聚异丁烯(PIB)等液体介质,液固介质的相容性直接关系到高压充油电缆终端的绝缘性能的稳定性以及工作的可靠性。文中首先在120℃下开展了168 h的PIB与SR和EP的相容性试验,接着测量了液固介质的理化性能与电气性能指标,根据不同老化时间下液固介质,以及相同老化时间下不同液固介质组合之间理化和电气性能的变化特征,并结合电介质性能指标的物理含义,综合比较后得到PIB和SR的相容性优于PIB与EP的相容性。为明确PIB与SR和EP的相容性机理,文中进一步采用Materials Studio软件,构建了液固介质的分子模型及界面结构,利用分子动力学获得了不同温度下PIB-SR界面和PIB-EP界面的焓值;计算表明,在温度由363 K升高到393 K时,PIB-EP界面的焓变小于0,有溶解趋势,而PIB-SR界面的焓变值大于0,因此,PIB-SR界面较PIB-EP界面更具稳定性。文中结论可为高压充油电缆中液固介质的选择提供理论依据。

Synergistic Antiflaming of Expandable Graphite on the Sealing Silicone Rubber

To study the effects of different proportions of aluminum hydroxide and expandable graphite （EG） composites on flame retardation, sealing, mechanical, electrical and other properties of RTV- 1, aluminum hydroxide/expandable graphite （ATH/EG） and silicone rubber composites were prepared by the compression molding method. The experimental results show that heat resistance improves with the increase of proportion of EG. Although the resistance coefficient changes, the composite materials still keep good electrical insulating property. Moreover, oxygen index and expansion index rise first then fall. When ATH/EG is 1：1, the oxygen index reaches the highest; the mechanical property of the silicone rubber is not affected under various environments such as acid, alkali, oily, artificial sea water environments, etc.

Electrical treeing behaviors in silicone rubber under an impulse voltage considering high temperature

In this paper,work was conducted to reveal electrical tree behaviors（initiation and propagation）of silicone rubber（SIR） under an impulse voltage with high temperature.Impulse frequencies ranging from 10 Hz to 1 k Hz were applied and the temperature was controlled between 30 °C and 90 °C.Experimental results show that tree initiation voltage decreases with increasing pulse frequency,and the descending amplitude is different in different frequency bands.As the pulse frequency increases,more frequent partial discharges occur in the channel,increasing the tree growth rate and the final shape intensity.As for temperature,the initiation voltage decreases and the tree shape becomes denser as the temperature gets higher.Based on differential scanning calorimetry results,we believe that partial segment relaxation of SIR at high temperature leads to a decrease in the initiation voltage.However,the tree growth rate decreases with increasing temperature.Carbonization deposition in the channel under high temperature was observed under microscope and proven by Raman analysis.Different tree growth models considering tree channel characteristics are proposed.It is believed that increasing the conductivity in the tree channel restrains the partial discharge,holding back the tree growth at high temperature.

Influence of Blending Temperature on Fluorescence Properties of Silicone Rubber Matrix Eu(TTA)_2(phen)(MA) Composites

A series of fluorescent composites were prepared by blending silicone rubber with Eu(TTA )2(phen)(MA). The influence of mechanical blending temperature on fluorescent intensity of composites and dispersion of rare earth complexes in the SiR matrix were investigated. As for the cured rubber, it is found that its fluorescent intensity is relatively low compared with that of uncured rubber. Low temperature is beneficial to dispersion of Eu(TTA )2(phen)(MA) homogeneously. When the amount of rare earth complexes is low, the fluorescent intensity of composites prepared by mechanical blending method above melting point of Eu(TTA )2(phen)(MA) is much higher than that of composites prepared below melting point.

HYDROPHOBICITY OF CONTAMINATED SILICONE RUBBER SURFACES

Silicone rubber (SIR) shows superior performance when used outdoors, but its surface can be transformed from inherently hydrophobic to hydrophilic by the adsorption of contaminants. Al(OH)(3), Al2O3, quartz powder and active carbon were selected as authentic contaminants. Hydrophobicity of the surface was determined using contact angle measurement. The results indicate that the adsorbability of the contaminants can strongly affect the hydrophobicity of contaminated SIR surface. The increasing rate of contact angle of specimens contaminated by Al(OH)(3) was much faster than that by Al2O3 and quartz due to the adsorption of migrated low molecular weight (LMW) polydimethylsiloxanes. Specimens contaminated by active carbon could achieve surface hydrophobicity within 15 min because active carbon has high adsorbability. Surfaces of contaminated ultrapure SIR, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and glass remain hydrophilic because they contain no mobile LMW components. The addition of oligomeric polydimethylsiloxanes has little effect on the hydrophobicity of contaminants covered on SIR surface.

Preparation and characterization of iron-ore-imbedded silicone rubber materials for radiation protection

Iron-ore-imbedded silicone rubber materials were produced for radiation shielding. Samples were tested against a Co-60 gamma source, which is widely used in nuclear technology and medicine. Decreasing the particle size of iron ore resulted in better gamma radiation protection owing to more homogenous distribution. In addition, the materials had flexible properties up to the addition of 60 wt% iron ore content. Further, 0.5 mm Pb E gamma protection was provided by using 2.06-mm-thick SDT-60 as the Co-60 source. Iron ore–silicone rubber composites are candidate materials for lead-free flexible radiation protection systems owing to their relatively inexpensive and easy production.

DAMAGE OF SILICONE RUBBER INDUCED BY PROTON IRRADIATION

In this paper, the damage to methyl silicone rubber induced by irradiation with protons of 150 keV energy wasstudied. The surface morphology, tensile strength, Shore hardness, cross-linking density and glass transition temperaturewere examined. Positron annihilation lifetime spectrum analysis (PALS) was perfomed to reveal the damage mechanisms ofthe rubber. The results showed that tensile strength and Shore hardness of the rubber increased first and then decreased withincreasing irradiation fluence. The PALS characteristics τ_3 and I_3, as well as the free volume V_f, decreased with increasingirradiation fluence up to 10^(15) cm^(-2), and then increased slowly. It indicates that proton irradiation causes a decrease of freevolume in the methyl silicone rubber when the fluence is less than 10^(15)cm^(-2), while the free volume increases when thefluence is greater than 10^(15)cm^(-2). The results on cross-linking density indicate that the cross-linking induced by protonirradiation is dominant at smaller proton fluences, increasing the tensile strength and Shore hardness of the rubber, while thedegradation of rubber dominates at greater fluence, leading to a decrease of tensile strength and Shore hardness.

In this paper the effects of 1, 1, 3, 3-tetramethyl-1, 3-diphenylethynyldisiloxane (TMDPDS) as a crosslinker on HCSR were studied. Thevulcanizates with fine mechanical properties could be obtained with suitable amounts ofTMDPDS. Sol fractions, and crosslinking density of vulcanizates and vulcanizationretardation effect of TMDPDS on hydrosilation curing silicone rubber were also discussed.

AN EVA/UNMODIFIED NANO-MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE/SILICONE RUBBER NANOCOMPOSITE WITH SYNERGISTIC FLAME RETARDANCY

A novel EVA/unmodified nano-magnesium hydroxide （NMH）/silicone rubber ternary nanocomposite was prepared by using a special compound flame retardant of NMH and silicone rubber （CFR）. The flammability of the ternary composite was studied by cone calorimeter test （CCT）. Synergistic effect on flame retardancy was found between silicone rubber and NMH. EVA/CFR ternary nanocomposite showed the lowest peak heat release rate （PHRR） and mass loss rate （MLR） among the samples of virgin EVA, EVA composites. The synergistic flame retardancy of silicone rubber and NMH in EVA system is attributed to the enhanced char layers in the condensed phase that prevents the heat and mass transfer in the fire.

Fluorescence Properties of Eu^(3+)/Gd^(3+)/Citric Acid Mixed Complexes Doping in Silicon Rubber Matrix

Series of doped rare earth compiexes-EuxGd(1-x) (CA)3·nH2O (CA = citric acid) were synthesized. Some characterizations were taken for these complexes. The experimental results shows that the doped rare earth complexes have the best fluorescence property when the ratio of Eu and Gd is from 0.7 to 0.3. Silicon rubber-based composites were prepared by mechanical blending the EuxGd(1-x) (CA)3·nH2O and silicon rubber. Then, the fluorescent property of the composites was studied. It is found that the fluorescence intensity of the composites increase linearly with the contents of the rare earth complexes increasing.

The Dynamic Characteristics of Silicone Rubber Isolator

The dynamic stiffness and the specific damping energy, as well as the vibration response characteristics of a silicone rubber isolator were researched. The results of the vibration test showed that the silicone rubber isolator was excellent in the performance of vibration control. The dynamic stiffness and the damping characteristics were non-linear. From the comparison between experimental results and simulation analysis, the displacement transmissibility characteristics of the isolator were obtained. As a result, the dynamic characteristics of the isolator could be accurately described by the quadratic type non-linear terms at small amolitude.

Damage Effect of Space Proton Irradiation with the Low Energy of 50-200 keV on Methyl Silicone Rubber

The damage effects and mechanisms of proton irradiation with 50-200 keV energy to space-grade methyl silicone rubber was performed using a ground-based simulator for space irradiation environment. The changes in surface morphology, mechanicai properties, cross-linking density, glass temperature, infrared attenuated total reflection spectrum, mass spectrum and pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrum indicated that, under lower energy, the proton irradiation would induce cross-linking effect, resulting in an increase in tensile strengths and hardness of the methyl silicon rubber. However, after the irradiation of protons for more than 150 keV, the irradiation induced degradation, which decreased the tensile strengths and hardness, became a dominant effect. A macromolecular network destruction modei for the silicone rubber radiated vvith the protons was proposed.

Effect of UV radiation aging on creepage discharge characteristics of high temperature vulcanized silicon rubber at high altitude

The physicochemical properties and creepage discharge characteristics of aged high temperature Vulca nized(HTV)silicone rubber materials were investigated by ultraviolet radiati on(UV)aging method in this study.The experimental results show that as the aging time increases,the creepage discharge flashover voltage increases first and then decreases.But the aging time has little effect on the creepage discharge inception voltage.With the aging time prolonged,the discharge endurance time of HTV silicone rubber is shortened,and the creepage discharge development velocity is accelerated.In the short time of applying voltage to aging material,the magnitude of discharge in creases rapidly.According to the partial discharge characteristic parameters of creepage discharge,the whole creepage discharge process is partitioned into four stages.Compared with unaged HTV silicone rubber,the aged HTV silicone rubber has less fluctuation in performance parameters and a clear trend.The study found that UV aging not only affects the physicochemical and hydrophobic properties of the HTV silicone rubber,but also accelerates the development of creepage discharge under AC voltage.
