The method for the determination of compression set values with a Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) setup at low temperatures, which was presented previously, allows a much faster and readily automated procedure than the standardized compression set test according to ISO 815-2. This method is applied to a series of different elastomeric materials that are commonly used for sealing applications. The results of the compression set test are compared with results from thermal analysis to allow an in depth comparison of the material behaviour at low temperatures.
Furthermore, a comparison between two EPDM materials is presented. These materials show very similar properties determined by thermo analytical methods such as Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) but differ clearly in their compression set behaviour. This comparison shows the importance and value of information of the compression set test in addition to thermal analysis to judge the behaviour of sealing materials and confirms the relevance of the new compression set test method for the investigation of low temperature properties of elastomers.
The molecular dynamics of liquid-crystalline polymethacrylates with biphenyl in the side group forming a highly ordered smectic E phase at low temperatures is investigated by dielectric spectroscopy (DS). Although no glass transition is found by DSC, DS detects a relaxation in the smectic E phase resembling to glassy dynamics. The temperature dependence of its relaxation rate is Arrhenius like at low temperatures, which changes to a VFT law at higher temperatures. Such a behavior is found to be characteristic for glassy dynamics in confining space. It is discussed, considering the structure of the polymers as nanobiphasic consisting of liquid-crystalline layers while the backbones fill the interlayer space. A comparison is made to polymethacrylates having phenyl benzoate as mesogen.
Rubbers are widely used as sealing material in various applications. In many fieldsthefunction of seal materials at lowtemperatures is required. Therefore the understanding of faiiure mechanisms that lead to leakage at low temperatures is of high importance. 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 results of standardized measurements as the compression set according to ISO 815. To reduce the test time of the Standard tests a faster and more efficient technique was developed and applied. In addition the breakdown temperature of the sealing function of O-ring seals at lowtemperatures is measured in a component test Setup in dependence of the material and the degree of compression.
The thermal expansion of polymeric parts can be an issue in many applications where the available space is limited, or exact dimensions of the part are required. For this study, a device was designed and built that allowed measuring the thermal expansion simultaneously in all three spatial directions on cubic samples with real-scale dimensions (78 mm edge length). The results are shown between 25 °C and 125 °C for two PE materials, one HMWPE and one tempered UHMWPE, for non-irradiated samples as well as cubes that have been irradiated with 100 and 400 kGy. The results measured with the new device were very similar to those measured with conventional thermo-mechanical analysis equipment and to literature data of UHMWPE. The HMWPE material shows a much larger thermal expansion coefficient in one direction compared to the other two directions during the first heating due to frozen stresses from the pressing step during material manufacturing. These stresses are mostly released by the expansion during the first heating, so that the expansion during the second heating is more uniform. The overall volumetric expansion is the same for both heating runs. By contrast, the tempered UHMWPE material shows no significant difference between first and second heating run, as the stresses from processing could already relax in the tempering step. The irradiation treatment does not affect the values significantly for the given test set-up.
During an extensive test programme at the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und prüfung, material property changes of EPDM O-rings were investigated at different ageing times and two ageing temperatures of 125∘C and 150∘C. To exclude possible diffusion-limited oxidation (DLO) effects that can distort the data, IRHD microhardness measurements were taken over the cross section of compressed O-rings. Continuous stress relaxation measurements were taken on samples free of DLO effects. The additional effect of physical processes to irreversible chemical ones during a long-term thermal exposure is quantified by the analysis of compression set measurements under various test conditions. By combining the different experimental methods, characteristic times relative to the degradation processes were determined. On the basis of experimental data, a microphysically motivated model that takes into account reversible and irreversible processes was developed. The parameter identification strategy of the material model is based on our experimental investigations on homogeneously aged elastomer O-rings. The simulated results are in good agreement with the experiments.
HNBR, EPDM and FKM O-rings were aged uncompressed and compressed at 75 °C, 100 °C, 125 °C and 150 °C for up to 1 year. HNBR exhibited the strongest ageing effects with high increases of hardness and glass transition temperature. Furthermore, heterogeneous ageing caused by diffusion-limited oxidation effects had a significant influence for HNBR at ageing temperatures of 125 °C and 150 °C. EPDM showed similar property changes as HNBR, but less pronounced. FKM displayed only minor ageing effects. O-rings aged in compression exhibited considerable compression set (CS). CS data was used for a time-temperature shift and resulting master curve construction. Leakage rate measurements showed that O-rings can remain leak tight under static conditions even if material properties have already deteriorated strongly.
Der Druckverformungsrest (DVR) stellt insbesondere für Dichtungsanwendungen eine wichtige Kenngröße zur Beurteilung der Eignung eines Elastomers dar. Er ermöglicht die Einschätzung des zeitabhängigen Rückstellverhaltens eines Werkstoffs nach Deformation. Neben der Prüfung bei erhöhten Temperaturen, zur Beurteilung des Alterungsverhaltens, lässt sich bei der Durchführung bei tiefen Temperaturen die limitierende Einsatztemperatur bestimmen. Die Versuchsdurchführung unterscheidet sich je nach angewandter Norm und kann einen deutlichen Einfluss auf den DVR-Wert haben. Um bei tiefen Temperaturen eine schnelle Aussage zu gestatten, ist eine im Vergleich zu genormten Methoden deutlich schneller durchzuführende, automatisierte Methode entwickelt und mit Standardmethoden verglichen worden. Durch kontinuierliche Messung des Druckverformungsrests kann die Kinetik der Materialrückstellung betrachtet und dadurch ein effizienter Materialvergleich und eine effiziente Materialauswahl ermöglicht werden. Compression set (CS) is especially for sealing applications an important parameter for material selection. It allows an assessment of the time dependent recovery after deformation.
In addition to testing at elevated temperatures which aims at the evaluation of the ageing behaviour, testing at low temperatures permits the determination of the low working temperature limit. The test procedure varies depending on the applied standard and can show a significant effect on the CS value. In order to allow a quick statement regarding low temperatures an automated procedure being significantly faster realisable in relation to the standardised methods has been developed and compared with standard procedures. Continuous measurement of the compression set allows evaluating the recovery kinetics and therefore an efficient comparison and selection of materials.
A new method for the evaluation of the low temperature properties of rubber materials is presented. The method emulates the standardized compression set measurement, which is frequently used for sealing materials, but can be performed within a considerably shorter time. The results are compared with the standard test and found to be qualitatively the same. Slight differences are discussed on the basis of the differences in the measurement procedures. Further data evaluation is done by fitting functions to describe the material behaviour.
Rubber is widely used as sealing material in various applications. In many fields the sealing function at low temperatures is necessary. Therefore the understanding of failure mechanisms is of high importance. Rubbers are normally used above their glass-rubber transition region but the minimum working temperature limit is not defined precisely. 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 the standardized compression set according to ISO 815 respectively a modified test using the DMA equipment.
Both chain scission and crosslinking reactions occur during ageing of EPDM rubber. However, with many conventional polymer analysis methods such as hardness and DMA, it is hardly possible to obtain information about the contribution of each reaction type to the measured data. For example, hardness and Tg both increase during ageing of EPDM, indicating crosslinking during ageing, but it is not clear whether this is partly counterbalanced by chain scission reactions which would lower hardness and Tg. An indication that chain scission reactions probably counteract the hardness or Tg increase by crosslinking is given by Compression Set (CS) measurements. CS exhibits a higher change than hardness or Tg, as CS increases additively through both chain scission and crosslinking reactions. In order to elucidate the share of chain scission reactions in the total degradation, a method testing relaxation and recovery behaviour using DMA equipment was applied. The method revealed the strong influence of chain scissions, leading to more pronounced relaxation and higher residual strain after compression.
