Previous studies have show that SBS triblock copolymers possess relativelyhigh tear strength ,about 10 KJ/m^2 at room temperature. However,thestrength is eventually zero when test temperature is higher than the glasstransition temperature of PS phase,centigrade degree of 95. Thus,the objective of thus research is to improve the strength of SBS copolymers at high temperature, e.g.centigrade degree of 100. Chemical crosslinkingof the PB phase is carried out by introducing small amouts of dicumylperoxide(DCP). A conventional tear test and a newly developed cutting test are performed to determine the fracture energy of the DCP cured SBSspecimens. It''s been found that 0.01 phr cured SBS specimens still possess comparable tear strength ,when compared with neat SBS samples. Moreover, thetear strength at high temperature has been effectively enhanced to be about 100 KJ/m^2. However,specimens with higher content of DCP show a reducedtear strength at room temperature. Tear strength of 1 phr cured SBSspecimens is about one-tenth of the neat SBS ones. Domain morpology of thecured SBS specimens is investigated with a transmission electron microscopy. Mechanical properties of the cured SBS are determined with a tensile testing machine. Young''s modulus,breaking stress and energy density at break arededuced from the stress-strain curves. Similar approaches are used to investigate the effects of rate and temperature on the fracture energy of a blend of EPDM rubber and PP plastics(santoprene). Results show that santoprene has a strength of 10 KJ/m^2 atroom temperature. Furthermore,the strength at centigrade degree of 150 is notgreatly reduced, about 1 KJ/m^2,although some crystals start to melt. DSC measurements show a melting peaking at a temperature of centigrade degree of 158.5.
