Polymers can be modified by the introduction of ionic groups [I]. The ionic polymers, also called ionomers, offer great potential in a variety of applications. Ionic rubbers are mostly prepared by metal ion neutralization of acid functionalized rubbers, such as carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber, carboxylated polybutadiene rubber, and carboxylated nitrile rubber 12-5]. Ionic rubbers under ambient conditions show moderate to high tensile and tear strength and high elongation. The ionic crosslinks are thermolabile and, thus, the materials can be processed just as thermoplastics are processed [6]. 

TPEs from blends of rubber and plastics constitute an important category of TPEs. These can be prepared either by the melt mixing of plastics and rubbers in an internal mixer or by solvent casting from a suitable solvent. The commonly used plastics and rubbers include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), nylon, ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM), natural rubber (NR), butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, etc. TPEs from blends of rubbers and plastics have certain typical advantages over the other TPEs. In this case, the required properties can easily be achieved by the proper selection of rubbers and plastics and by the proper change in their ratios. The overall performance of the resultant TPEs can be improved by changing the phase structure and crystallinity of plastics and also by the proper incorporation of suitable fillers, crosslinkers, and interfacial agents. 

Modified PAN fibres have been obtained from copolymers containing up to 15% or ISP units using the wet spinning process30. Some properties of modified fibres are presented in Table 1. For comparison are also given the properties of fibres obtained from copolymers additionally crosslinked with conventional crosslinking agents used in the vulcanization of nitrile rubbers. 

Low molecular weight liquid nitrile grades are available and these can be used as compatible plasticisers in the compounding of nitrile rubber. Such plasticisers can be partially crosslinked to the main chain during cure, and hence exhibit low extractability. 

MPR competes with crosslinked nitrile rubber for demanding applications (in the automotive sector, for example) needing oil and grease resistance, noise dampening, stress relaxation similar to vulcanized rubber, good bonding to PVC, PC, ABS. 

PVC can be chlorinated (CPVC) and be alloyed with other polymers like ABS, acrylics, polyurethanes, and nitrile rubbers to improve its impact resistance, heat deflection, and processability. Although these vinyls differ in having literally thousands of varying compositions and properties, there are certain general characteristics that are common to nearly all these plastics. Most materials based on vinyls are inherently TP and heat sealable. The exceptions are the products that have been purposely compounded with TSs or crosslinking agents are used. 

Most or all of the monomer units in the chains are capable of participating in the crosslinking (vulcanisation or curing) reaction. This class includes natural rubber, butadine rubbers, SBR and nitrile rubbers. The crosslink density in this class is controlled by the amount of curing agents in the compound. 

PAn-nitrilic rubber composites76 have been prepared using rubber-coated anodes for electyropolymerization. The resultant material has the mechanical properties of a crosslinked elastomer with the electrical and electro-optical properties... 

Commercially important elastomeric thermoplastic alloys are dynamically vulcanized blends of polypropylene with high volume fractions of EPDM, polybutadiene rubber, nitrile rubber, and butyl rubber (Santoprene , Vyram , Geolast and Trefsin ) all currently sold by Advanced Elastomer Systems, a joint venture of Monsanto and Exxon. Another recent member of the commercial dynamically cured elastomeric thermoplastic alloys is the blend of PVC and a crosslinked ethylene copolymer (Alcryn , DuPont). The current consumption of all the elastomeric thermoplastic alloys in the USA is over 23 kton/y, with the EPDM/PP blend (Santoprene ) assuming about 90% of the market share. 

We might expect that nitrile rubber would also be vulcanized with efficiencies greater than 1.0 however, though the double bonds in nitrile rubber are highly accessible, the crosslinking efficiency is somewhat less than 1.0 (Loan, 1963). 

The highly crosslinked nitrile rubber is S5mthesized according to the invented method (fully disclosed in the patent). Nitrile mbber is dispersed in hot DOP (25-80°C) before PVC and its stabilizer are added. The rubber containing plastisol was designed with the manufacture of gloves, shoes, and boots in mind. 

Compression set is atypical feature of PVC sealants because gelled PVC has plastic properties (no rubbery behavior). Addition of crosslinked nitrile rubber adds rubbery particles which are able to reduce compression set. 

In the first one, the two materials are blended on a rubber mill or in an internal mixer. Blending of the two materials can also be achieved by combining emulsion latexes of the two materials together and then coagulating the mixture. Peroxide must be added to the blends in order to achieve some crosslinking of the elastomer to attain optimum properties. A wide range of blends are made by this technique with various properties. Most common commercial blends of ABS resins may contain 70 parts of styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (70/30) and 40 parts of butadiene-nitrile rubber (65/35).

The mechanism responsible for the hardening of hydrogenated nitrile rubber automotive seal compounds on prolonged exposure to automatic transmission fluids at high temperature was investigated. The increase in hardness was found to result primarily from chemical attack at the acrylonitrile sites. This chemical attack first resulted in the formation of isocyanide or isonitrile ions. The proposed mechanism involved crosslinking at the acrylonitrile sites through the formation of isonitrile ions and the subsequent formation of imides. 

Crosslinked PBU [(VeA o) 0-20 kmol/m ] and crosslinked elastomer of butadiene-nitrile rubber SCN-26 [(VeA o) 0.07 kmol/m ] were used in this study. The tests were carried out at 25+0.10 C in the following mixtures n-nonane-tributyl phosphate (TBP), n-hexane-dibutyl phthalate (DBP), n-hexane-dibutyl maleate (DBM), and dioctyl sebacate (DOS)-diethyl phthalate (DEP). A crosslinked elastomer SCN-26 was immersed to equilibrate in amyl acetate-dimethyl phthalate mixture. Liquid phase composition was in range of 5 to 10%. A sol-fraction of samples (plates of 0.9x10 m diameter and in 0.3x10 m thickness) was preliminary extracted with toluene.
