Abstract: A method of effecting chemical bonding between a thermoplastic polymer having the recurring unit: ##STR1## and a synthetic rubber, comprising, covulcanizing a polyphenylene ether containing, thermoplastic molding compound and said synthetic rubber by heating the mixture in the presence of a vulcanizing system, said polyphenylene ether containing, thermoplastic molding compound having the composition, a) 100 parts by weight of polymers of ortho-substituted phenols having the formula: ##STR2## where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently represent a methyl group or hydrogen, and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represent an alkyl group with up to 6 carbon atoms, or R.sub.3 represents hydrogen and R.sub.

Abstract: A process for bonding a polyamide containing thermoplastic material and a rubber, comprising covulcanizing, in the presence of a vulcanization system, a thermoplastic component which contains at least 30% by wt. of an aliphatic polyamide and a rubber composition which, based on 100 parts by weight of a carboxyl group-containing rubber, contains 100-300 parts by wt. of fillers, and 1-10 parts by wt. of peroxidic vulcanizing agents.

Abstract: Components made from at least two molded materials A and B which are firmly bonded together, and in whicha) the molded material A is composed of a matrix of polyamide or of a polyamide-containing molding composition and of a continuous, fibrous reinforcement embedded therein, andb) the molded material B is the rubber obtained after peroxidic vulcanization of a rubber composition which is applied to A, the rubber composition containing the following components:i) about 100 parts by weight of a rubber having carboxyl or anhydride functional groups;ii) about 10 to 300 parts by weight of fillers; andiii) about 1 to 10 parts by weight of peroxidic vulcanizing agents.

Abstract: A process for bonding a thermoplastic PPE-containing polymer and a rubber by covulcanization, comprising the steps of:heating and covulcanizing said PPE-containing polymer and said rubber, wherein said rubber comprises:(a) 100 parts by weight of a mixture comprising 100-20 wt. % of an EP(D)M rubber and 0-80 wt. % of a styrene-butadiene rubber obtained by emulsion polymerization,(b) 100-300 parts by weight of loading material,(c) 1-10 parts by weight of a peroxidic vulcanization agent, and(d) 0.5-4 parts by weight of a vulcanization activator, wherein a vulcanization bond is formed between said PPE-containing thermoplastic polymer and said rubber.

Abstract: Composite parts of firmly bonded molding materials, comprising a thermoplastic material containing polyphenylene ether, a layer of SBR or SBS rubber or a mixture thereof surrounding the thermoplastic material, if necessary, an intermediate layer comprising a powdered SBR rubber which may contain a filler, and a rubber containing carbon-carbon double bonds covulcanized with the layer of SBR or SBS rubber. The invention also provides a method for producing the composite part comprising treating the thermoplastic material with a solution of a SBR or SBS rubber in an organic solvent or with an aqueous latex of the rubber, if necessary, completely or partially removing the organic solvent or water, if necessary, treating the dried mass with a powdered SBR rubber which may contain a filler, and covulcanizing with a rubber containing carbon-carbon double bonds.

Abstract: The invention relates to component parts comprised of at least two alternating layers comprising a polyphenylene ether-containing (PPE-containing) molded piece and an elastomeric thermoplastic block copolymer of the type A-B-A, wherewith A represents a styrene block and B a soft phase block; and a method of manufacturing the same.

Abstract: Structural components are produced which have at least 2 layers A and B. Layer A contains, as a matrix, a thermoplastic resin plastic containing a polyphenylene ether and fibrous reinforcing supports disposed therein. Layer B is a rubber which is obtained through the vulcanization of certain caoutchoucs containing double bonds.
