Abstract
The development of new functional materials based on modified styrene-butadiene block copolymers will enable the creation of materials with improved resistance to gasoline, heat, light, ozone, and enhanced adhesive properties. This study investigates the influence of chlorinated paraffin on the properties of the styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer. Chlorinated paraffins (CP), complex mixtures of polychlorinated n-alkanes, were used as halogen-containing modifiers for the thermoplastic elastomer to enhance its tensile and adhesive strength and thermal properties. Composite materials based on styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer (SBS) with various amounts of chlorinated paraffin were prepared using a solution mixing method. The analysis of the ATR/FT-IR spectra of neat SBS and SBS/CP revealed the appearance of new characteristic absorption bands at 1260, 1090, 1020, and 800 cm-1. The study determined that the amount of chlorinated paraffin strongly influenced specific properties of the examined TPE. It was observed that chlorinated paraffin improved the thermal stability of the composites. The onset temperature of degradation increased to 262 °C (a rise of 57 °C), while the maximum degradation temperature slightly increased from 463 to 467 °C. The impact of the concentration of chlorinated paraffin on the chemical structure and tensile properties was evaluated and compared to those of neat styrene-butadiene-styrene. It was estimated that SBS composites with 5 ppm. CPs are characterized by improved strength properties in comparison with the original SBS sample.
