THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERIC COMPOSITION FOR VEHICLE MOUNTS WITH IMPROVED SURFACE ENERGY AND COMPRESSION SET, AND MOLDED ARTICLE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101803 titled 'THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERIC COMPOSITION FOR VEHICLE MOUNTS WITH IMPROVED SURFACE ENERGY AND COMPRESSION SET, AND MOLDED ARTICLE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The thermoplastic elastomeric composition for vehicle mounts described in the patent application is a blend of EPDM rubber, polypropylene, silicon, and poly(styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene) (SEBS) in specific proportions to improve surface energy, compression set, and wear strength.
- EPDM rubber, polypropylene, silicon, and SEBS are blended in appropriate amounts to create the thermoplastic elastomeric composition.
- The composition solves the reduction in wear strength typically seen in vehicle mounts.
- The blend improves surface energy and compression set of the material.
- The patent application also includes a molded article made from this composition.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in various vehicle mount applications, such as engine mounts, suspension mounts, and other vibration isolation components in automotive and industrial machinery.
Problems Solved
The technology addresses the common issue of reduction in wear strength in vehicle mounts, while also improving surface energy and compression set of the material.
Benefits
The thermoplastic elastomeric composition offers enhanced performance and durability in vehicle mounts, leading to longer lifespan and improved overall functionality.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, industrial machinery companies, and other industries requiring high-performance vibration isolation components.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of traditional rubber blends in vehicle mounts, which may not offer the same level of performance and durability as the composition described in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
