本研究以再生三元乙丙橡胶（R-EPDM）为原料，以天然橡胶（NR）/R-EPDM共混物为基础，尝试开发一种高附加值的NR材料。ZnO纳米粒子也被纳入的方式，以取代传统的ZnO一起特别注意，以改善共混物的热机械性能。合成了多面体和球形的ZnO纳米粒子，发现它们没有杂质，尺寸范围为10 - 40 nm。ZnO纳米粒子不仅起到固化活化剂的作用，而且提高了共混物的热稳定性和动态力学性能。
In the present study, recycled ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (R-EPDM) was used in an attempt to create a value-added natural rubber (NR) material based on NR/R-EPDM blends. ZnO nanoparticles were also incorporated in a way to replace the conventional ZnO together with special attention to improve the thermo-mechanical performance of the blends. Polyhedral and spherical shapes of ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized, and they were found to have no impurities, with a dimension ranging from 10 to 40 nm. ZnO nanoparticles not only act as a curing activator but also improve the thermal stability and dynamic mechanical properties of the blends.
