Abstract
The behaviour of modified elastomers containing various functional groups has been investigated under conditions of high temperature degradation in an inert medium and in air. It was found that dissimilarities in thermal stability observed for the modified polymers are due to the nature of the elastomer matrices, and to the influence of functional groups in polymer backbones. It has been established that sulphenyl chlorides (in amounts of up to 5 mole %) have a stabilizing influence on thermal degradation of the elastomers.
