Times Cited Count：14 Percentile：48.82(Polymer Science)We elucidated the spatial distribution of filler particles in cross-linked poly(styrene--butadiene) rubbers (SBR) developed under a typical fillers/rubbers compounding process as one of dissipative structures formed under a stress field imposed on the given system. The dispersion state of the fillers in SBR was clarified on the basis of hierarchical structures consisting of five structure levels. More specifically, it has the following characteristics depending on the specific interactions: Small, compact clusters build up compact mass-fractal structures, while large, loose clusters build up open mass-fractal structures.

The exchange project of the TVF improvement melter began in 2002, and ended in September, 2004. Operation of the TVF improvement melter began in October, 2004, and produced 60 vitrified wastes by May, 2005. It was confirmed that the operation method and vitrification performance of TVF improvement melter was good.

A comprehensive small-angle scattering analyses on the dispersion state of fillers in rubber/filler compounds was investigated. Recently, an effective size reduction of dispersible units of the fillers and consequential improvement of the property of the hysteresis loss was attained in the end functionalized S-SBR/filler system. To get more insight into the hierarchical structure of those systems, a complementary use of different contrasts between neutron and synchrotron X-ray was attempted in this study. Each different profile of neutron and X-ray scattering suggested two dominant structures within the system: one is the higher-order aggregations of the filler particles and the other is originated from vulcanized SBR matrices.

A comprehensive ultrasmall- and small-angle scattering analysis on the dispersion state of fillers in rubber/filler compounds is investigated. Recently, an effective size reduction of dispersible units of the fillers and consequential improvement of the property of the hysteresis loss was attained in the end functionalized S-SBR/filler system. Here S-SBR denotes solution polymerization styrene-butadiene rubber. To get more insight into the hierarchical structure of those systems, a complementary use of different contrasts between neutron and synchrotron X-ray was attempted. The different q-dependence of the scattering profiles taken by neutron and by X-ray suggested that two dominant structures exist in the system: one is the higher-order aggregations of the fillers and the other is the density fluctuations due to the vulcanization. By modification of the chain end of SBR with a functional group having the affinity for the fillers, the scattering signals originated from the vulcanization of SBR hardly changed, whereas those originated from the aggregation of the fillers distinctly changed. This tendency strongly supports the above scenario for the improvement of mechanical property of rubber/filler compounds.

For investigating the dispersion state of silica particles in styrene-butadiene rubber composites, we measured its small angle neutron scattering with polarizing its proton spins. By proton spin polarization, we can control the coherent scattering length for neutron beam. As a result, we succeeded in abstracting the scattering profile only from the silica particles.

For silica-filled styrene-butdiene rubber samples, we measured small angle neutron scattering with the proton spins in the samples being aligned to one direction. As a result, we precisely determined the silica particles' dispersion by the abstracted partial scattering function.

We have developed a spin contrast variation technique. Our target is hydrogeneous solid materials such as polymer and rubber, which are not easy to be deuterated and can absorb a vapor of a stable free radical, TEMPO, which serves as an electron spin source necessary for high proton spin polarization (P) through dynamic nuclear polarization. By use of this vapor permeation technique, we succeeded in polarizing silica-filled SBR rubber, which is a material for fuel-efficient tire. From the polarized SANS profiles obtained with various P values, we succeeded in separating the partial scattering function of silica, which is considered to be a key factor for the fuel-efficiency.

Nowadays industrial materials tend to include a variety of additives and to be a composite of them to satisfy a high request for intelligent function and durability. Elucidation of such a multi-component and hierarchical structure is really a tough work but indispensable to learn the fundamentals of relation between the structure and property and to attain a reasonable improvement of those materials. Combined use of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) often gives a good clue to decompose the total scattering of the organic/inorganic composite into the partial scattering from a particular component. Two examples will be demonstrated here for extracting the structural information from the composite specimen via this method; one is the distribution of the dopant nitrogen atoms in the porous photocatalyst and the other is the dispersion state of fillers in the rubber matrix.

We have developed a proton spin contrast variation technique. It has been known that a good DNP performance is achieved in a polyethylene sample absorbed a vapor of TEMPO radical as an electron spin source. We recently applied this technique to silica-filled SBR rubber, which is used for tread rubber of fuel-efficient tires. Finally, we successfully evaluated silica particles' dispersion state precisely, which is supposed to have great effect on tire's fuel efficiency.

We applied proton spin contrast variation technique to silica filled SBR rubber, which is widely used for a fuel-efficient tire. In this technique, vapor sorption of TEMPO radical as an electron spin source played an important role for achieving high degree of proton spin polarization. As a result, we successfully evaluated the dispersion state of silica particles, which is known to be a key factor for tire's fuel efficiency.

Using a combined ultra-small-angle and small-angle scattering methods with both of neutron and X-ray probes, we characterized hierarchical structures of silica and/or carbon black filler particles dispersed in solution polymerized poly(styrene-random-butadiene) rubber (SBR). Two types of SBR were employed for the preparation of filler/rubber compounds; one possesses a newly developed functionalized chain-end (f-SBR), which has an affinity for filler particles and the other is a conventional SBR (n-SBR) without any special interaction with fillers. Combined small-angle scattering measurements clarified that the average-size of aggregated fillers dispersed in f-SBR matrix is smaller than that dispersed in n-SBR matrix.

CSAS measurements clarified that the average-size of aggregated fillers dispersed in f-SBR matrix is smaller than that dispersed in n-SBR matrix. In addition, those aggregated fillers either in f-SBR or in n-SBR exhibited their own mass-fractal dimensions in their higher-order structures.
