Notes:
Influences of type and content of functional groups on the mechanical response of various functionalized (grafted) ethylene-propene rubbers (EPRs) are reported. Grafted molecules include succinic anhydride (SA), monomethyl succinate (MMS) and 2-(dimethylamino)ethylsuccinimide (DAESI). A semiquantitative correlation between the decrease of the mechanical properties at high grafting degree and degradation of the polyolefinic backbone is given. Also a study of the dynamic-mechanical properties of the functionalized rubbers is reported. A rubbery plateau is found, the strength and temperature dependence of which is a function of the type and content of the grafted molecules.
