The effect of electron beam irradiation on the properties of carbon black-, silica-, and clay-filled fluorocarbon rubber has been studied over a range of radiation doses, loadings, and nature of the fillers. Compared to the unfilled irradiated rubber, the tensile strength and modulus improve with a

β¦ Synopsis
The dynamic mechanical properties of electron beam modified fluorocarbon rubbers (terpolymer: F content, 68% and H, 1.4%; copolymer: F content, 65% and H, 1.9%) were studied. With an increase in the radiation dose, the loss tangent maximum decreases and the glass transition temperature increases. The influence of the polyfunctional vinyl monomer, trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), is to decrease the loss tangent value, especially at higher doses. At a particular level of the multifunctional monomers tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA), TMPTA, and tetramethylolmethane tetracrylate, the dynamic mechanical thermal analysis indicated the lowest degree of crosslinking for the system based on TPGDA. MgO-based systems register a decrease of the loss tangent peak height and an increase in the storage moduli compared to the control rubber. The results are explained on the basis of gel fraction, scission reactions, and structural changes as measured with the help of IR-attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy.
