Abstract

A material with high damping property and based on epoxy/polyacrylate (EP/PA) composite particles was synthesized by two-stage emulsion polymerization. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the composite particles have a spherical morphology, a core–shell structure and a diameter of 100 nm–130 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) indicated the cross-linking between EP groups in the core layer and carboxyl groups in the shell layer of the composite particles during film formation. The cross-linking reaction improved the dynamic mechanical property by the interaction of core and shell polymers. The effects of the cross-linking agent and ratio of the two polymers on the damping capacity were studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). DMA results revealed that a certain amount of acrylic acid could markedly enhance the loss factor (tan δ) and slightly widen the damping temperature range. When the EP/PA ratio was 1:7, peak values for tan δ of the composite materials could reach 2.10, exceeding the value for most damping materials. The result implies that the EP/PA composites have great potential application in damping steel surface coatings.
