T1 - Was passiert bei tiefen Temperaturen? - Dichtungsverhalten im Bereich des Glasübergangs N2 - Elastomere werden vielfach als Dichtungsmaterial für verschiedene Anwendungen eingesetzt. In vielen Bereichen ist die Funktion der Dichtung auch bei tiefen Temperaturen erforderlich. Daher ist das Verständnis des Versagensmechanismus von großer Bedeutung. Normalerweise werden Elastomere oberhalb ihres Glass-Gummi Umwandlungsbereiches eingesetzt, wobei die minimale Einsatztemperatur nicht exakt definiert ist. Daher ist es sinnvoll, diese untere Temperatureinsatzgrenze in Abhängigkeit von den Materialeigenschaften zu bestimmen. Hierfür werden die Ergebnisse der thermischen Analyse mit den Resultaten des Druckverformungsrests aus einer abgewandelten Messung mit der Dynamisch Mechanischen Analyse (DMA) kombiniert. Weiterhin werden Ergebnisse von Bauteilversuchen vorgestellt und diskutiert. Die vorgestellten Untersuchungen wurden zum großen Teil auf Untersuchungen im Rahmen der Dissertation von M. Jaunich durchgeführt. T2 - XVIII.

The save encapsulation of the radioactive container inventory has to be guaranteed according to legislation and appropriate guidelines for long term storage periods as well as down to temperatures of -40 °C during transport. Therefore the understanding of failure mechanisms that lead to leakage at low temperatures is of high importance. It is known that the material properties of rubbers are strongly temperature dependent. At low temperatures this is caused by the rubber-glass transition (abbr. glass transition). During continuous cooling the material changes from rubber-like entropy-elastic to stiff energy-elastic behaviour, that allows nearly no strain or retraction, due to the glass transition. Hence rubbers are normally used above their glass transition but the minimum working temperature limit is not defined precisely, what can cause problems during application. Therefore the lower operation temperature limit of rubber seals should be determined in dependence of the material properties. The results of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) are combined with the results of standardized measurements as the compression set according to ISO 815. To reduce the test time of the standard tests a faster technique was developed. Additionally, the breakdown temperature of the sealing function of complete O-ring seals is measured in a component test setup to compare it with the results of the other tests. The experimental setup is capable of measuring the leakage rate at low temperatures by the pressure rise method. A fluorocarbon rubber (FKM) was selected for this investigation as it is often used for radioactive waste containers. Some materials (seals and test sheets) were purchased from a commercial seal producer and some materials were compounded and cured at BAM in form of rubber sheets.

Ein direkter Rückschluss von der so ermittelten Glasübergangstemperatur Tg auf die Versagenstemperatur einer Dichtung ist aber ohne zusätzliche Messungen bisher nicht möglich. Mit den Ergebnissen des Druckverformungsrestes DVR und des DVRDMA ist eine ge-nauere Beschreibung der Tieftemperatureigenschaften und dadurch der Funktion von elastomeren Dichtungsmaterialien möglich. Messungen ergeben beispielsweise, dass sich das EPDM bei einer Temperatur von -40 °C laut der Dynamisch Mechanischen Analyse noch im gummielastischen Bereich befindet. Die DVRDMA-Werte zeigen eine Rückstellung um mehr als 40 % der Ausgangsdeformation in wenigen Minuten. Mit derart detailliert bestimmten Eigenschaften lassen sich Rückschlüsse auf einsatzspezifische Anforderungen wie z. B. die Dichtwirkung in Abhängigkeit von Betriebstemperatur und mechanischer Belastungsgeschwindigkeit ziehen, so dass je nach Einsatzbedingungen für die Dichtungen eine geeignete Materialauswahl getrof-fen werden kann.

Special emphasis is put on the effect of uniaxial stretching which renders the polymer ferroelectric. It is shown that dielectric and mechanical relaxations at the glass transition (aa relaxation) are closely related and not significantly affected by stretching. It is further confirmed that stretching destroys the non-polar spherulitic crystalline structure and produces relatively small-sized polar crystallites. This manifests in the disappearence of the so-called ac relaxation which is associated to molecular motions within the spherulitic crystalline lamellae. However, there are discrepancies between dielectric and mechanical losses above the glass transition which point towards a still not described structural transition.

As shown previously [1], the effects of the vulcanization reaction of an elastomer can be monitored by use of ultrasonic sound waves. This technique has to a certain degree a high similarity to the standard curemeter test according to ISO 6502 but can be applied also inside a production tool. So far, the method was only applied to the vulcanization of one compound at a given temperature and sample thickness. This is now complemented with measurements on another compound system at different temperatures and sample thicknesses. The expected effects of temperature and thickness on the curing behaviour were found by use of the ultrasound online control.

T1 - Monitoring the vulcanization of elastomers: Comparison of curemeter and ultrasonic online control N2 - The vulcanization of elastomeric materials has a high impact on the properties of the final product. Therefore, it is important to monitor and control this crosslinking process. A common technique to attain the necessary curing time is the use of a curemeter in accordance with ISO 6502 in order to determine the time for full cure of a sample with a standardized geometry. Based on this result and a lot of practical experience, the required curing time for a given product geometry is estimated. Within the scope of this work, a new analysis technique will be compared with the standard procedure. The ultrasonic online control employs ultrasound waves to measure the changes in material properties caused by vulcanization. For this study, a natural rubber compound with a conventional curing system was investigated by both techniques. It was found that the results of the ultrasonic technique show good agreement with the results of the curemeter.

A1 - Jaunich, Matthias A1 - Stark, Wolfgang T1 - Monitoring of the vulcanisation process by ultrasound during injection moulding N2 - Today rubber is due to its unique property profile one of the most important materials for the production of bearings, dampers or also tires and tubes. In the production of rubber goods a chemical cross-linking reaction (vulcanisation) generates the final material properties. This process takes place during the shape giving of the rubber compound in the mould and can proceed for several minutes. The cross-linking process is influenced by the mixture of the basic polymer, the cross-linking agent, the influence of catalysts and inhibitors and especially the processing conditions. The quality of every ingredient, the reproducibility of the mixing ratio, the homogeneity of the mixture and the accurateness in temperature control can have a direct influence on the cross linking reaction. To control the quality of a rubber compound and verify the processing conditions in industry moving die rheometers, named curemeter, are involved in the production process. Starting from our experience in cure monitoring of thermosetting materials by measuring ultrasound velocity in the mould we extended the measuring principle to rubber vulcanisation monitoring. After first investigations using a compression mould we dealt here with on-line monitoring of vulcanisation in an injection moulding process which is one of the most used techniques in rubber industry.
