Tlhis study was made to reconcile the behavior of low molecular weight hydrocarbon resins and the behavior of their plasticizers with the solubility parameter and with the Flory-Huggins treatment of phase separation from polymer solutions. These resins are widely used industrially for coatings, floorings, adhesives, rubber compounds, and many other applications. Since they are usually hard and brittle, they are used with rubber, drying oils, plastics, or with plasticizers. 

Many TPEs must be dried before processing. While this is a familiar step to thermoplastics processors, it is not necessary for thermoset rubbers. Drying equipment is usually not available in a rubber shop. 

The FRRPP process has been proposed to generate unique materials with certain programmable structures. Some of the unique features involve polymeric surfactants that have the ability to be dispersed in water at relatively low concentrations, and to be environmentally responsible formulations which allow for wide area/volume delivery. They would also have the ability to penetrate low porosity solids, such as soil, cement, rock, masonry with modest pressure drop requirements. If labeled, these surfactants can be applied on various surfaces or within porous stmctures for subsequent detection of changes in surface/underground structures. These materials can also be transformed into a nonflowing gel, and finally into a hard rubber dry sealant material. Other transformations of interest could be investigated from various possible polymeric surfactants that can be synthesized using the FRRPP process.

Graft copolymers of natural rubber and poly(methyl methacrylate) in latex form have been produced on a small scale. The rubber latex is treated with methyl methacrylate in the presence of an initiator (e.g. hydroperoxide activated by a polyamine). Generally, equal weights of rubber (dry weight) and monomer are used and the product consists of about 80% graft copolymer, 10% polyisoprene and 10% poly(methyl methacrylate). The material gives rise to vulcanizates with excellent physical properties at high hardness levels.
