Abstract
Copolymers of vinyl acetate, n-butyl acrylate, VeoVa 10, and acrylic acid were prepared in order to develop new high vibration-damping resins for vibration-damping composite steel sheets for room-temperature application. The characteristics of the resins were affected by the properties of each monomer used. Vinyl acetate and n-butyl acrylate were known to have good vibration-damping properties around room temperatures. We found that VeoVa 10 had a pronounced effect on the lowering of the melt viscosity. Acrylic acid was added to improve the adhesion performance with steel sheets. The composite steel sheets produced using these resins exhibited a high loss factor of approximately 0.3 to 0.4 at 20 °C to 30 °C and 250 Hz. The melt viscosity was in the 5 to 20 Pa · s range at 180 °C.
