Overview

Demonstrates improved mechanical properties and aging resistance in EPDM using ZIF-8, suggesting a new solution for electrical equipment reliability.

Key Points

  • The aim is to enhance the mechanical properties and aging resistance of EPDM rubber by incorporating ZIF-8.
  • Developed ZIF-8 as an additive in EPDM
  • Conducted mechanical testing and crosslink density tests
  • Utilized FTIR and XPS for chemical analysis
  • Performed thermal stability assessments with TGA
  • ZIF-8 incorporation significantly enhances mechanical performance of EPDM
  • Improved resistance to thermal oxidative aging observed in EPDM-ZIF-8 composites
  • Crosslink density increases more slowly during aging compared to pure EPDM
  • Enhanced thermal stability of EPDM attributable to ZIF-8 addition
