Self-Crosslinkable Polymer Blends Based on Chlorinated Rubber and Carboxylated Nitrile Rubber

Abstract

Abstract Melt-mixed blends of chlorinated natural rubber and carboxylated nitrile rubber get crosslinked during prolonged molding at elevated temperatures in the absence of any crosslinking agent. Dynamic mechanical measurements show that such blends are compatible. The physical properties depend on the blend composition. The blends exhibit excellent processing safety, good oil resistance, and high abrasion resistance.
