Abstract

Abstract Mainly from the temperature dependence of transitions in dynamic modulus, loss tangent, and dielectric loss, associated with microbrownian motions of main chains, it was concluded that blends of NR and BR are microheterogeneous and those of SBR and BR are almost microhomogeneous. Furthermore, even SBR/BR blends tended to be heterogeneous if the styrene content in SBR was increased. On the other hand, unvulcanized SBR/BR blends have been reported to be heterogeneous from observation of phase contrast micrographs. To investigate this vulcanization effect further, measurements of temperature dependence of dynamic modulus and tan δ of unvulcanized blends were compared with those of vulcanized blends.
