SYNOPSISBis (diisopropyl) thiophosphoryl disulfide (DIPDIS) can be successfully used to form a blend comprising polar carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR) and nonpolar NR through a chemical link between the two. It is revealed from the study that the physical properties of the vulcanizates obtained from the NR-XNBR blend could be significantly improved by the judicious selection of the NRXNBR ratio. These properties can further be improved by two-stage vulcanization as described in the procedure. The SEM study reveals that it is possible to form a coherent blend of NR and XNBR in the presence of DIPDIS. 0 1994

SYNOPSISThiophosphoryl disulfide was successfully used as a novel coupling agent to form a coherent blend comprising polar carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR) and nonpolar styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) establishing close proximity between them through chemical bridging. The study reveals that XNBR in the presence of thiophosphoryl disulfide greatly improves the physical properties of SBR and thus acts as a reinforcing filler. It is noted that the physical properties of the vulcanizates obtained from the SBR-XNBR blend depend upon the SBR : XNBR ratio and the mode of cure. SEM studies corroborate the observed facts. 0 1995
