This paper deals with the dielectric and sorption properties of some flax fiber-reinforced ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) composites containing different fiber loadings as well as their behavior after exposure to different doses of electron beam irradiation. Three relaxation processes were evinced, a weak relaxation β at sub-T temperatures and two α-type relaxations above the T. The EPDM/flax composites exhibited higher values of dielectric constant, dielectric loss and conductivity as compared to a pristine EPDM sample. Using thermogravimetric analysis (TG) coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and mass spectrometry (MS) (TG/FTIR/MS system), the degradation products can be identified. The water uptake increased as the flax fiber level increased in composites. The water uptake tests of irradiated composites showed that the highest water content was obtained for a flax fiber level of 20 phr.
本文研究了一些含有不同纤维含量的亚麻纤维增强乙丙三元橡胶(EPDM)复合材料的介电和吸附性能,以及它们在接受不同剂量电子束辐照后的行为。结果表明存在三个弛豫过程,在低于玻璃化转变温度(Tg)时有一个较弱的β弛豫,在高于Tg时有两个α型弛豫。与原始EPDM样品相比,EPDM/亚麻复合材料表现出更高的介电常数、介电损耗和电导率。通过热重分析(TG)结合傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和质谱(MS)(TG/FTIR/MS系统),可以识别降解产物。复合材料中的吸水率随着亚麻纤维含量的增加而增加。辐照复合材料的吸水率测试表明,亚麻纤维含量为20 phr时,含水量最高。
