Zinc oxide thermal properties

The influence of ZnCFO concentration (3,0 5,0 7,0 phr) on formation of properties complex of the unfilled rubber mixes and their vulcanizates on the basis of isoprene rubber of the following recipe, phr isoprene rubber - 100,0 sulfur - 1,0 di - (2-benzothiazolyl) -disulfide - 0,6 N, N -diphenylguanidine - 3,0 stearic acid - 1,0, was carried out in comparison with the known activator - zinc oxide (5,0 phr). The analysis of Rheometer data of sulfur vulcanization process of elastomeric compositions at 155°C (fig. 5) shows, that on crosslink density and cure rate, about what the constants of speed in the main period (k2) testify, they surpass the control composition with 5,0 phr of zinc oxide. Improvement of the complex of elastic - strong parameters of rubbers with ZnCFO as at normal test conditions, and after thermal air aging (tab. 1), probably, is caused by influence of the new activator on vulcanization network character. So, the percent part of polysulfide bonds (C-Sx-C) and amount of sulfur atoms appropriating to one crosslink (S atoms/crosslink) in vulcanizates with ZnCFO are decreased, the percent part of disulfide bonds (C-S2-C) is increased (fig. 62). 

Physical Properties. Zinc oxide is a fine white powder that turns yellow when heated above 300 °C. It absorbs UV light at wavelengths below 366 nm. Traces of monovalent or trivalent elements introduced into the crystal lattice impart semiconducting properties. The elementary particles of ZnO obtained by the thermal method may be granular or nodular (0.1-5 pm) or acicular (needle-shaped). Some physical properties are given below ... 

Fluorosilicones can be compounded by the addition of mineral fillers and pigments. Fillers for such compounds are most commonly silicas (silicon dioxide), because they are compatible with the elastomeric silicon-oxygen backbone and thermally very stable. They range in surface areas from 0.54 to 400 m2/g and average particle size from 100 to 6 nm. Because of these properties, they offer a great deal of flexibility in reinforcement. Thus, cured compounds can have Durometer A hardness from 40 to 80. Other fillers commonly used in fluorosilicones are calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. 

Zinc oxide (ZnO) can exhibit a wide range of electrical properties depending on minor constituents and sintering conditions. It is also remarkable for the ease with which high-density ceramics can be achieved over a wide range of sintering temperatures and for its excellent resistance to thermal shock.

New complex compounds of general formula Zn(4-ClC6H3-2-(0H)C00 2 L2 nH20 (where L=thiourea (tu), nicotinamide (nam), caffeine (caf), n=2,3), were prepared and characterized by Gyoryova and coworkers [230], vfho studied their thermal properties by TG/DTG and DTA methods. Thermal decomposition of the hydrated compounds starts with the release of water molecules. During the thermal decomposition of the anhydrous compounds, the release of organic ligands take place, followed by the decomposition of the salicylate anion. Zinc oxide was the final solid product of the thermal decomposition performed up to 650 C. TG, powder XRD, IR spectra and chemical analysis were used for the determination of the products of the thermal decomposition. 

When a PA is to be used in applications requiring self-extinguishing characteristics and flame retardant properties, it is necessary to resort to the addition of a flame retardant. Flame retardant formulations, known in the field of poly(ester)s, can be widely adapted to PAs. Brominated poly(styr-ene) in combination with an antimony compound, such as sodium antimon-ate, can be used." The performance is improved when a minor amount of calcium oxide is added. The thermal stability of these compositions is much better in comparison to formulations with magnesium oxide or zinc oxide.
