Pandey et al. have used ultrasonic velocity measurement to study compatibility of EPDM and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) blends at various blend ratios and in the presence of compa-tibilizers, namely chloro-sulfonated polyethylene (CSM) and chlorinated polyethylene (CM) [22]. They used an ultrasonic interferometer to measure sound velocity in solutions of the mbbers and then-blends. A plot of ultrasonic velocity versus composition of the blends is given in Eigure 11.1. Whereas the solution of the neat blends exhibits a wavy curve (with rise and fall), the curves for blends with compatibihzers (CSM and CM) are hnear. They resemble the curves for free energy change versus composition, where sinusoidal curves in the middle represent immiscibility and upper and lower curves stand for miscibihty. Similar curves are obtained for solutions containing 2 and 5 wt% of the blends. These results were confirmed by measurements with atomic force microscopy (AEM) and dynamic mechanical analysis as shown in Eigures 11.2 and 11.3. Substantial earher work on binary and ternary blends, particularly using EPDM and nitrile mbber, has been reported.

Other compatible commercial systems are as follows polystyrene (PS) and polyphenylene oxide (PPO) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and nylon 66 PVC and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and PS and polycarbonate (PC) (up to 60% PC). 

For example, the volume change of an acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR)40 sample at X = 2 relative to the volume of its undeformed state was about 5 x 10 4, and the values for the other vulcanizates were less than this. We therefore assumed that the use of Eqs. (34) and (35) is warranted for the computation of dW/dlt for our rubber samples, except at very small deformations for which// < 3.02. In most cases, stress relaxation was allowed to proceed at given stretch ratios and 1- and 10-min isochronal stress values were taken for the calculations. 

Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubbers (NBR). Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubbers (NBR), or simply nitrile rubbers, are copolymers of butadiene and acrylonitrile. They are available in five grades based on the acrylonitrile (ACN) content. 

Solid-state 13C NMR has been used to identify elastomers in binary blends of chloroprene (CR) and NR, CR and CSM, NR and CSM, and SBR and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR). The type of NBR can be determined by identifying the sequences of acrylonitrile and butadiene. The tertiary blend of NR/SBR/BR was also studied [49]. High-temperature 13C solid-state NMR identified ethylene-propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) and fluoro and nitrile rubbers [50]. 

Sequence distribution studies on several types of rubber by 13C-NMR technique have been reported. Some of the more recent reports include silicone rubbers [28-30], SBR [31], acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) [32,33], polyurethane [34,35], polyepichlorohydrin [36], ethylene-norbonene [37] and ethylene-propylene rubber [4, 16, 25, 38-44]. The NMR studies on EPDM have been carried out extensively, because it is one of the important parameters, which control the physical properties of the elastomer. For example, ethylene sequence can influence the crystallisation kinetic and melting behaviour of the rubber [38].

Adimoll DO is a low-temperature-resistant plasticizer suitable for a large number of polymers, e.g. polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), styrenebutadiene rubber (SBR) and polyvinyl acetate (PVAC). Commonly used in plastic wraps for food storage. 

Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) may be reduced in [BMIMJfBFJ using the catalyst RuHCl(CO)(PCy3)2 [32] the saturated product is a very useful engineering polymer with applications in oil seals, timing belts, and hoses [33]. An enhanced reaction rate has been observed. The same reaction was reported in a range of haHde-free IL mixtures based on dialkylimidazolium cations and the tetrafluoro-borate anion [34]. 

Raj et al. °" have compared the efficiency of microwave and e-beam irradiations to stabilize the interface of various partially miscible or nonmiscible blends polystyrene (PS)/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC)/ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), PP/acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)/poly(styrene acrylonitrile) (SAN). For this purpose, they used positron annihilation lifetime measurements, and they considered particularly a hydrodynamic interaction parameter a. This... 

Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, NBR, styrene-aciylonitrile rubber, SAN, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, EVA, and acrylic copolymers are helpful modifications of polyvinylchloride that change its processing characteristics and elastomeric properties. Blending with these copolymers helps to reduce the requirement for low molecular weight plasticizers. Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer plays a role of high molecular weight plasticizer in production of vinyl hose. This reduces the amount of DOP used in flexible hose applications. Ethylene copolymer is used plasticize PVC that reduces gel. "" Phthalate plasticizers can be eliminated from water based adhesives because of utilization of vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer as a high molecular plasticizer/modifier. " ... 

Typical examples of polymer production in CSTRs include styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and polychloroprene in CSTR trains polystyrene and its copolymers PVC and PVAC (and their copolymers) and LDPE. 

Most of the earlier efforts have been paid in changing the surface character of clay minerals. Albeit the modified clay minerals are fairly compatible with the polar rubber like acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR), chloroprene rubber (CR), etc., its dispersion in nonpolar rubbers like NR, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM), butadiene rubber (BR), etc. is rather unsatisfactory. Figure 8.3(a) and (b) display the state of dispersion of organomodified... 

The best approach has been to react (Step polymerization) the resoles, during cure, with suitable high-molecular weight polymers such as polyvinyl acetals, epoxies, acrylonitrile butadiene rubbers (NBR) or, better, their carboxylated variants, polyurethanes and polyamides. The methylol groups on the phenolic react with the active hydrogen groups (hydroxyls or secondary amines) on the polymer. 

Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) (also called nitrile or nitrile butadiene rubber) shows high oils and plasticizer s resistance, excellent heat resistance, good adhesion to metallic substrates, and good compatibility with several compounding ingredients (see Nitrile rubber adhesives).

Ishida et reported melt blending of PLA with four types of common rubbers, ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPM), ethylene-acrylic rubber (EAM), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and isoprene rubber (IR), to toughen PLA. All blends showed separated phase morphology where the elastomer phase was homogeneously distributed in the form of small droplets in the continuous PLA phase. Izod impact testing showed that toughening was achieved only when PLA was blended with NBR, which showed the smallest rubber particle size in the blends. In addition, the interfacial tension between both phases, PLA and NBR, was the lowest.
