Mercapto-modified copolymers in polymer blends. II. The compatibilization of NBR/EVA blends

Mercapto‐modified copolymers in elastomer blends. IV. The compatibilization of natural rubber/EPDM blends

“…Indeed, the use of small amount of mercapto‐modified EVA copolymer (EVALSH) in NR/EVA blends increased the ultimate tensile strength and hardness, for blends containing large amount of natural rubber 14, 15. Similar behavior has been also observed for NBR/EVA blends 19. Better aging resistance has been also achieved with these compatibilized EVA‐based blends 17…”

Dynamically vulcanized polypropylene/nitrile rubber blends: The effect of peroxide/bis‐maleimide curing system and different compatibilizing systems

“…Thermoplastic elastomers prepared by blending thermoplastic with nitrile rubber (NBR) has been received a lot of interest because of the combination of the oil‐resistant property, the excellent mechanical properties and processing behavior. Some of these blends include polyamide/NBR,1–3 poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/NBR,4–5 polyethylene/NBR,6–8 styrene‐acrylonitrile copolymers (SAN)/NBR,9 poly(ethylene terephtalate) (PET)/NBR,10 ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA)/NBR,11–14 and polypropylene/NBR 15–23. Most of these studies involve the dynamic vulcanization process, which consists of crosslinking the rubber particles during it melt mixing with molten thermoplastics.…”

Effect of rubber content on morphology and thermal and rheological behaviors of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber/poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate)/organoclay nanocomposites

“…A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 13 be observed in those filled polymer blends in which polymer and nanofiller have strong interactions [39]. It seems that the exfoliation of layers of silicates increased the G′ of the nanocomposites prepared due to the strong polar interactions between the two hydroxyl groups of the ammonium cations used as the clay modifier and the carboxyl groups of EVA through which H-bonding is occurred [20,31,[40][41].…”

“…There are several reports about NBR/EVA blends in the literature [1,2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Thomas et al [2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] studied the cured and uncured NBR/EVA blends having different amounts and kinds of fillers as well as curing systems based on peroxide, sulfur and their mixtures.…”

“…Thomas et al [2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] studied the cured and uncured NBR/EVA blends having different amounts and kinds of fillers as well as curing systems based on peroxide, sulfur and their mixtures. Soraes et al [1,12,13], on the other hand, investigated the effect of mercapto-modified EVA on rheology, mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties of the uncured and cured blends. Soares et al [14] also worked on M A N U S C R I P T…”
