Abstract
Abstract In the rubber industry, it has often been observed that dispersion of a relatively small volume fraction of a crosslinked polymer into a linear high polymer improves processability of the latter markedly. Thus, S. P. rubbers of exceptional processability are produced by coagulation of untreated latex mixed with a minor proportion of prevulcanized latex, the latter remaining in the form of discrete particles during subsequent processing operations. Similar effects are produced in the synthetic rubber industry when SBR crosslinked by means of divinyl benzene (SBR 1009 and similar grades) is mill-mixed with “straight” styrene-butadiene copolymer. In another case, a highly gelled butadiene-acrylonitrile polymer is used to enhance processing properties of oil-resistant rubbers.
