Butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers,

Styrene Copolymers. Acrylonitrile, butadiene, a-methylstyrene, acryUc acid, and maleic anhydride have been copolymerized with styrene to yield commercially significant copolymers. Acrylonitrile copolymer with styrene (SAN), the largest-volume styrenic copolymer, is used in appHcations requiring increased strength and chemical resistance over PS. Most of these polymers have been prepared at the cross-over or azeotropic composition, which is ca 24 wt % acrylonitrile (see Acrylonithile polya rs Copolyp rs). [Pg.507]

Rubber-Modified Copolymers. Acrylonitrile—butadiene—styrene polymers have become important commercial products since the mid-1950s. The development and properties of ABS polymers have been discussed in detail (76) (see Acrylonitrile polymers). ABS polymers, like HIPS, are two-phase systems in which the elastomer component is dispersed in the rigid SAN copolymer matrix. The electron photomicrographs in Figure 6 show the difference in morphology of mass vs emulsion ABS polymers. The differences in stmcture of the dispersed phases are primarily a result of differences in production processes, types of mbber used, and variation in mbber concentrations. [Pg.508]

The homopolymers, which are formed from alkyl cyanoacrylate monomers, are inherently brittle. For applications which require a toughened adhesive, rubbers or elastomers can be added to improve toughness, without a substantial loss of adhesion. The rubbers and elastomers which have been used for toughening, include ethylene/acrylate copolymers, acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene (ABS) copolymers, and methacrylate/butadiene/styrene (MBS) copolymers. In general, the toughening agents are incorporated into the adhesive at 5-20 wt.% of the monomer. [Pg.857]

We have considerable latitude when it comes to choosing the chemical composition of rubber toughened polystyrene. Suitable unsaturated rubbers include styrene-butadiene copolymers, cis 1,4 polybutadiene, and ethylene-propylene-diene copolymers. Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene is a more complex type of block copolymer. It is made by swelling polybutadiene with styrene and acrylonitrile, then initiating copolymerization. This typically takes place in an emulsion polymerization process. [Pg.336]

There are a number of flame-retardant styrenic polymers that will be covered in this chapter. These include polystyrene itself, rubber-modified polystyrene [high-impact polystyrene (HIPS)] and rubber-modified styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer [acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS)]. Blends with styrenic... [Pg.685]

Thermoplastic compounds are typically prepared by mixing organic and/or inorganic compounds with a single base polymer, copolymers, or blends. The base polymer may consist of a chemically bonded blend such as the block copolymer acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene (ABS) or a second base polymer may be used to enhance the overall end properties of the compound.

The vinylidene fluoride(VDF)-hexafluoropropylene(HFP) copolymers are well-known fluorocarbon elastomers which have excellent thermal, oil and chemical stability. Due to their inert structure, curing is more difficult compared with the hydrocarbon elastomers such as styrene-butadiene copolymer, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer etc. It is known that two curing recipes described below are practically usable for these fluorocarbon elastomers. [Pg.763]

In this chapter the homopolymer, polystyrene, is considered together with styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers and styrene-a-methylstyrene copolymers. The important styrene-butadiene copolymers are described with other diene polymers in Chapter 18. The use of styrene in the cross-linking of unsaturated polyesters is described in Chapter 10.

Impact modifiers are added to many formulations. As the name implies, they impart toughness to the polymer article or film. Many of them are butadiene copolymers that disperse in the polymer matrix. One type - the so-called core shell modifiers - has a rubbery core surrounded by a harder acrylate layer. They have been compared to an egg soft on the inside and hard on the outside. The outer shell also has some adhesion to the matrix so that the modifier can be dispersed. Other impact modifiers include methacrylate-butadiene-styrene copolymers or EPDM, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer copolymers. Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) are also used. [Pg.158]

The use of a soluble metal-chelating agent such as tetrasodium ethylenediamine tetraacetate effectively stabilizes an anaerobic formulation against small amounts of metal contamination [173]. The wide variety of appUcations of anaerobic adhesives and sealants is made possible by the modifications which make the viscosity appropriate to the application. An application which requires penetration into close fitting parts should have very low viscosity while a product used with large, loose fitting parts should have a high viscosity. Polymethacrylates, cellulose esters, butadiene-styrene copolymers, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers, polyfvinyl chloride), copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, polyfvinyl acetate), cellulose ethers, polyesters, polyurethanes, and other thermoplastic resins have been used to control the flow characteristics of anaerobic sealants [174].
