Many synthetic latices exist (7,8) (see Elastomers, synthetic). They contain butadiene and styrene copolymers (elastomeric), styrene—butadiene copolymers (resinous), butadiene and acrylonitrile copolymers, butadiene with styrene and acrylonitrile, chloroprene copolymers, methacrylate and acrylate ester copolymers, vinyl acetate copolymers, vinyl and vinyUdene chloride copolymers, ethylene copolymers, fluorinated copolymers, acrylamide copolymers, styrene—acrolein copolymers, and pyrrole and pyrrole copolymers. Many of these latices also have carboxylated versions. 

Contact adhesives Contact adhesives are usually applied to both surfaces, which are then pressed together. Liquid copolymers of butadiene and acrylonitrile with carboxyl end groups are used as contact adhesives in the automotive industry. 

Several polymers based on 1,3-dienes are used as elastomers. These include styrene-1,3-butadiene (SBR), styrene-1,3-butadiene terpolymer with an unsaturated carboxylic acid (carboxylated SBR), acrylonitrile-1,3-butadiene (NBR or nitrile rubber) (Secs. 6-8a, 6-8e), isobutylene-isoprene (butyl rubber) (Sec. 5-2i-l), and block copolymers of isoprene or... 

This paper discusses the three butadiene prepolymers which have been used most extensively in solid rocket propellants—i.e., the copolymer of butadiene and acrylic acid (PBAA), the terpolymer of butadiene, acrylic acid, and acrylonitrile (PBAN), and the carboxyl-terminated polybutadiene (CTPB). Since the chemistry of all of these carboxyl-containing prepolymers is essentially the same, the discussion of butadiene propellants in this paper is concerned mainly with those based on CTPB.

It is obvious from these data that CTBN (the carboxyl terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer) is the most effective modifier, and therefore it was selected for further study. As the concentration of the elastomer was increased to levels up to 100 parts, the impact also increased. The data in Table II show that the room temperature impact of ERL-4221 increased from 40 inch-lbs to greater than 320 inch-lbs by adding 100 phr or 33 wt % of CTBN. At very low temperatures ( —160°F) the impact of the system modified with 60 parts, or 23 wt %, of CTBN was 120 inch-lbs. These impact improvements appear to be directly proportional to the concentration of the elastomer modifier. 

Effect of Molecular Configuration of Elastomer. The extent of the impact and strength improvements of ERL-4221 depends on the chemical structure and composition of the elastomer modifier. The data shown in Table I indicate that the carboxyl terminated 80-20 butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer (CTBN) is the most effective toughening and reinforcing agent. The mercaptan terminated copolymer (MTBN) is considerably less effective as far as tensile strength and heat distortion temperature are concerned. The mercaptan groups are considerably less reactive with epoxides than carboxyls (4), and this difference in the rate of reaction may influence the extent of the epoxy-elastomer copolymerization and therefore the precipitation of the rubber as distinct particles.

Thus, with two equations and two unknowns, a unique solution to X and Y can be calculated. Carboxy-terminated copolymers of butadiene and acrylonitrile (CTBN) can be incorporated into the epoxy resin through a simple esterification reaction. One equivalent of carboxylic acid is esterified by one equivalent of epoxide. This reaction is again catalyzed by triphenylphosphine. Since, for our reactions, the limiting reagent in the esterification is the CTBN elastomer, the product is an elastomer capped with an epoxy resin. The epoxy terminated rubber is then capable of reacting in the usual manner with curing agents or in the previously discussed advancement reaction (Reaction Scheme 2).
