Elastomer blends, immiscible formation

These concepts for formation of miscible blend of elastomers with similar or near equivalence of solubility parameters require the components to be similar in properties. Thus a wide variation in the properties of the elastomer blends by changing the relative amounts of the two elastomers is not typical since it is unlikely that, for example, a nonpolar polyolefin elastomer and a polar elastomer like acrylate would be similar in solubility parameters. This relative invariance in the properties of the blend compared to the components is an inherent limitation on the basic, economic, and technological need for elastomer blends, which is to generate new properties by blends of existing materials. Similar or near equivalence of solubility parameters can be difficult to predict from chemical structure. For example, chemically distinct 1,4-polyisoprene and 1,2-polybutadiene are miscible, but isomeric 1,2-polybutadiene and 1,4-polybutadiene are immiscible. It is illustrative of this concept that an apolar hydrocarbon elastomer and a highly polar elastomer such as an acrylate cannot have, under any practical structural manifestation for either, a similar solubility parameter and thus be miscible. [Pg.550]
