Résumé : |
Solid particulate fillers usually increase both the Young's modulus and the density of polymers. The incorporation of hollow glass microspheres into polymers enables a better balance between mechanical properties and density, combined with benefits in terms of processing and surface quality. These hollow microspheres are capable of improving the flow characteristics of a polymer in the mould, and reduce mould shrinkage. These properties of hollow microspheres can be well utilized in NBR based rubber compounds, which are used as thermal insulation systems for protection of solid rocket motor case from high temperature combustion gases. Insulators with low density are of immense use in aerospace applications, since they enhance payload capability and reduce mission cost. Attempts are made to reduce density of elastomer compounds by incorporating these hollow glass microspheres. The effects of process conditions, level of microspheres and treatment with liquid polymer on density have been discussed Changes in density of the NBR correlated with extent of the break down of hollow microspheres have been brought out. This article also emphasizes the changes in the mechanical properties and thermal properties in NBR insulation system after the incorporation of these microspheres. |
