Description

The effect of concentration of different polyfunctional monomers (PFMs) on the physical properties of electron-beam irradiated acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) has been investigated. The PFMs used were diethylene glycol dimethacrylate (2G), tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate (4G), trimethylol propane triacrylate (A-TMPT), trimethylol propane trimethacrylate (TMPT) and tetramethylol methane tetraacrylate (A-TMMT). The physical properties of EB irradiated NBR sheets were evaluated by measurement of tensile strength, elongation %, hardness and gel fraction etc. The results show a remarkable increase in all physical properties as the concentration of PFMs increases from 1 phr to 5 phr in the NBR samples. The improvement in physical properties of radiation crosslinked NBR in the presence of PFMs may be attributed to its increased crosslinking density as observed by corresponding increase in gel content
