Py-GC-MS has been used to characterise elastomers including natural rubber, butyl rubber, polychloroprene and acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer [91]. Other copolymers that have been investigated include 1-octene-l-decene-l-dodecane terpolymer [92], acrylic-acid methacrylic acid [39],styrene-butadiene[93-95],styrene-isoprene [54], ethylene-vinyl acetate [96], polyisopropenyl cyclohexane - -methyl styrene [57], vinyl pyrrolidine- methacryloxysilicone [97], ethylene-carbon monoxide [98], acrylic copolymers [99], 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidine - l-vinyl-3-methylimidoazolium chloride [100], acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene [101], acetone-furfural [102] and styrene-acrylonitrile [103]. 

For the styrene-butadiene-methacrylic acid copolymers, meth-acrylic acid was also found in the serum, on the particle surface, and buried inside the particles. At 23% degree of neutralization, less methacrylic acid was found in the serum and on the particle surface than with acrylic acid, i.e., more was buried inside the particle. At 3.0% methacrylic acid, the amount incorporated into the particle was fairly constant, independent of the degree of neutralization. The different distributions of methacrylic and acrylic acids were explained by their different distributions between the monomer-polymer and aqueous phases. Thus these characterization results show the effect of vinyl carboxylic acid type and concentration on the loci of the carboxyl groups. Similar correlations could be made with other systems.

X-ray diffraction patterns of such samples are very similar to those obtained from stretched fibers. The following synthetic polymers are of technical relevance as mbbers poly(acrylic ester)s, polybutadienes, polyisoprenes, polychloroprenes, butadiene/styrene copolymers, styrene/butadiene/styrene tri-block-copolymers (also hydrogenated), butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers (also hydrogenated), ethylene/propylene co- and terpolymers (with non-conjugated dienes (e.g., ethylidene norbomene)), ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, ethyl-ene/methacrylic acid copolymers (ionomers), polyisobutylene (and copolymers with isoprene), chlorinated polyethylenes, chlorosulfonated polyethylenes, polyurethanes, silicones, poly(fluoro alkylene)s, poly(alkylene sulfide)s.

Acrylics. Acetone is converted via the intermediate acetone cyanohydrin to the monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA) [80-62-6]. The MMA is polymerized to poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) to make the familiar clear acryUc sheet. PMMA is also used in mol ding and extmsion powders. Hydrolysis of acetone cyanohydrin gives methacrylic acid (MAA), a monomer which goes direcdy into acryUc latexes, carboxylated styrene—butadiene polymers, or ethylene—MAA ionomers. As part of the methacrylic stmcture, acetone is found in the following major end use products acryUc sheet mol ding resins, impact modifiers and processing aids, acryUc film, ABS and polyester resin modifiers, surface coatings, acryUc lacquers, emulsion polymers, petroleum chemicals, and various copolymers (see METHACRYLIC ACID AND DERIVATIVES METHACRYLIC POLYMERS). 

Acryhc stmctural adhesives have been modified by elastomers in order to obtain a phase-separated, toughened system. A significant contribution in this technology has been made in which acryhc adhesives were modified by the addition of chlorosulfonated polyethylene to obtain a phase-separated stmctural adhesive (11). Such adhesives also contain methyl methacrylate, glacial methacrylic acid, and cross-linkers such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate [97-90-5]. The polymerization initiation system, which includes cumene hydroperoxide, N,1S7-dimethyl- -toluidine, and saccharin, can be apphed to the adherend surface as a primer, or it can be formulated as the second part of a two-part adhesive. Modification of cyanoacrylates using elastomers has also been attempted copolymers of acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene ethylene copolymers with methylacrylate or copolymers of methacrylates with butadiene and styrene have been used. However, because of the extreme reactivity of the monomer, modification of cyanoacrylate adhesives is very difficult and material purity is essential in order to be able to modify the cyanoacrylate without causing premature reaction. 

Organic peroxides are used in the polymer industry as thermal sources of free radicals. They are used primarily to initiate the polymerisation and copolymerisation of vinyl and diene monomers, eg, ethylene, vinyl chloride, styrene, acryUc acid and esters, methacrylic acid and esters, vinyl acetate, acrylonitrile, and butadiene (see Initiators). They ate also used to cute or cross-link resins, eg, unsaturated polyester—styrene blends, thermoplastics such as polyethylene, elastomers such as ethylene—propylene copolymers and terpolymers and ethylene—vinyl acetate copolymer, and mbbets such as siUcone mbbet and styrene-butadiene mbbet. 

NR, styrene-butadiene mbber (SBR), polybutadiene rubber, nitrile mbber, acrylic copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer, and A-B-A type block copolymer with conjugated dienes have been used to prepare pressure-sensitive adhesives by EB radiation [116-126]. It is not necessary to heat up the sample to join the elastomeric joints. This has only been possible due to cross-linking procedure by EB irradiation [127]. Polyfunctional acrylates, tackifier resin, and other additives have also been used to improve adhesive properties. Sasaki et al. [128] have studied the EB radiation-curable pressure-sensitive adhesives from dimer acid-based polyester urethane diacrylate with various methacrylate monomers. Acrylamide has been polymerized in the intercalation space of montmorillonite using an EB. The polymerization condition has been studied using a statistical method. The product shows a good water adsorption and retention capacity [129].

The vinyl monomers used in this study, methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, methyl acrylate, and acrylonitrile, as well as the solvents, initiators, and polystyrene were supplied by the Aldrich Chemical Company. The styrene-butadiene block copolymer was supplied by Shell as Kraton D1102, known as SBS this contains approximately 75% butadiene and 25% styrene. 

The stable polymer dispersions with small-sized polymer particles of diameter >60 nm were prepared by dispersion copolymerization of PEO-MA macromonomer with styrene, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, acrylic and methacrylic acids, and butadiene at 60 °C [79]. The particle size was reported to decrease with increasing macromonomer fraction in the comonomer feed. Besides, it varied with the type of the classical monomer as a comonomer. Tg of polymer product was found to be a function of the copolymer composition, the weight ratio macromonomer/monomer, and monomer type and varied from 50.6 to 220.4 °C.

Methods have been developed for the analysis of hydrocarbon polymers (e.g. styrene, butadiene and isoprene) by MALDI-TOF-MS, through the attachment of Ag(acac) to matrices of tran5-3-indoleacrylic acid or l,4-bis(2-(5-phenyloxazolyl))benzene . SUver-cationized molecular ions were produced for polymers of styrene, butadiene and isoprene up to mass 125,000 Da. For lower-mass styrene polymers, the resolved oligomer molecular ions provide information concerning the end group. This technique permits the analysis of many commercially important materials such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), styrene-acrylonitrile, styrene-methyl methacrylate and styrene-isoprene copolymers. The use of the salts of transition metals other than Ag, Cu or Pd as the cationizing agents fails to cationize polystyrenes in MALDI. The ability of MALDI to reduce metals to the oxidation state 4-1 is critically important to polystyrene cationization, as without this reduction MALDI tends to fail to form polystyrene-metal cations. Cu(acac)2 was used for the verification of the above . 

After the paper making process is complete, latexes that are useful as binders for the application of clays or CaCC>3 to paper for printing paper may be prepared using the dimer of AMS. In a typical formulation, styrene, butadiene, Me methacrylate, and acrylonitrile were emulsion polymerized in the presence of AMS dimer to obtain a copolymer latex.473 Surprisingly, the AMS dimer was used in combination with tert-dodecylmercaptan, so there may have been some residual odor. Unsaturated carboxylic acids, such as acrylic acid, or sulfonic acids, such as 2-ethylsulfonyl acrylate, or unsaturated amides, such as acrylamide, are also useful, providing the polarity necessary in these applications.474... 

Ionomers of practical interest have been prepared by two synthetic routes (a) copolymerization of a low level of functionalized monomer with an olefinically unsaturated monomer or (b) direct functionalization of a preformed polymer. Typically, carboxyl containing ionomers are obtained by direct copolymerization of acrylic or methacrylic acid with ethylene, styrene and similar comonomers by free radical copoly-merization. Rees (22) has described the preparation of a number of such copolymers. The resulting copolymer is generally available as the free acid which can be neutralized to the degree desired with metal hydroxides, acetates and similar salts. Recently, Weiss et al.(23-26) have described the preparation of sulfonated ionomers by copolymerization of sodium styrene sulfonate with butadiene or styrene.

One way to achieve compatibilization involves physical processes such as shear mixing and thermal history, which modify domain size and shape. The second way is the use of physical additives to increase attraction between molecules and phases. The third method is reactive processing, which is used to change the chemical structure of one or more of the components in the blend and thus increase their attraction to each other. Table 1.5 contains a list of compatibilizers used in the formulation of polyolefin blends. As can be seen from Table 1.5, most of the compatibilizers used in the formulation of polyolefin blends contain compounds such as maleic anhydride, acrylic and methacrylic acid, glycidyl methacrylate, and diblock and triblock copolymers involving styrene, ethylene, and butadiene.
