Abstract
ABSTRACTA new class of ionomers is described wherein ion‐pairs bear reactive functionality, thereby facilitating further chemical modification. Halide displacement from brominated poly(isobutylene‐co‐isoprene) by 1‐vinylimidazole is used to prepare ionomer derivatives that can be crosslinked by radical oligiomerization of pendant vinyl groups. The resulting thermosets contain a labile network of imidazolium bromide ion‐pair aggregates as well as a stable covalent network. As a result of their hybrid ionic/covalent composition, these thermoset elastomers provide a unique combination of rheological, tensile and stress relaxation properties that cannot be achieved from conventional covalent or ionic networks. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
