Abstract
Stress–relaxation measurements in uniaxial extension, in the terminal zone, were made of sulfonated ethylene–propylene terpolymer (EPDM), neutralized with zinc cation. The sulfonation levels were 15 to 20 meq/100 g polymer (0.47 and 0.62 mol %), and for each level the effect of the ionic plasticizer, zinc stearate, was investigated. For all the polymers, the decay of the modulus with elapsed time was gradual and featureless, reflecting a broad distribution of relaxation times. Sensitivity of the ionomers' structures to thermal history before an experiment was suggested by irreproducibility in the magnitudes, but not the distribution, of relaxation times at a given temperature. For polymers containing zinc stearate measured at 80°C, the amount of permanent set was low for relaxation up to about 20h, but increased rapidly with additional hours of stretch. Time–temperature superposition did not apply. Composite curves were constructed by matching the stress–relaxation response at short times; moduli measured at long times fell above the composite curve. The shapes of the composite curves were similar, regardless of the level of EPDM sulfonation or the presence of zinc stearate. The apparent Arrhenius activation energy for short‐time relaxation at similar levels of the modulus was about 35 kcal/mol at 140°C for the unplasticized polymers and about 70 kcal/mol at 90°C for the polymers containing zinc stearate, in contrast to the usual effect of plasticizer on the rate of relaxation of amorphous polymers except near the glass transition temperature.
