The Interface Stabilization Effects of Silane in SEBS/BaTiO3 Composites—Part I—Thermal Approach

Le résumé fourni par la source

The contributions of BaTiO3 as the filler and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane as the binder in the matrices of styrene–ethylene–butylene–styrene are evaluated for extended applications in medicine and dentistry. The determinations of stability are achieved by chemiluminescence (CL) under isothermal and nonisothermal modes, measuring the values of oxidation induction time (OIT) and onset oxidation temperature (OOT), respectively, which characterize the progress of material oxidation. The calculation of activation energies for the progress of oxidation from isothermal CL measurements based on OIT values provides proof of the modification of interaction activity on the polymer/barium titanate interface. The increases in the activation energy values from 80 kJ mol−1 for neat polymer to 83 kJ mol−1 for SEBS/BaTiO3 1 wt% and 109 kJ mol−1 for SEBS/BaTiO3 1 wt%/GPTMS 1 wt% is evidence of the contribution of silane to the structuration of the polymer surface. The influence of the two compounds, filler and additive, makes possible the extension of oxidation induction temperatures measured at 170 °C from 36 min, displayed by pristine polymer, to 245 min and 278 min for the titanate composites free of silane and in the presence of GPTMS 1 wt%, respectively.
