Abstract
This work was try to study the relationship between the damping properties and the hydrogen bonds, fractional free volumes of nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR)/hindered phenol (AO-80) composites from the microstructural point of view by combining the experimental and molecular simulation studies. The results indicated that the hydrogen bonds (HBs) were formed between AO-80 small molecules and NBR polymer chains. According to simulation results, because of the formed strongest HBs, highest binding energy and the smallest fractional free volume in the NBR/AO-80 composites with the blending ratio of 100/68, it contributed the maximum loss factor and highest modulus. It concluded that there was a suitable proportion of rubber blended with small hindered phenol molecules in the design of damping materials.
