Abstract: Thermoplastic elastomeric compositions, comprising blends of olefin rubber and polyolefin resin in which the rubber is cured with phenolic curative, exhibit superior properties including improved compression set and oil resistance.
Abstract: Compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which R and R.sub.1 are alkyl are described which compounds are potent inhibitors of premature vulcanization of rubber.
Abstract: Compatibilized polymer blends are described comprising a blend of olefin polymer, nitrile rubber, and a compatibilizing amount of block copolymer comprising nitrile rubber compatibilizing segments and olefin polymer compatibilizing segments.
Abstract: Thermoplastic compositions are described comprising blends of epichlorohydrin rubber and poly(alkyl methacrylate) resin. Compositions in which the rubber is cross-linked are also described.
Abstract: Vulcanizable rubber compositions inhibited from premature vulcanization by incorporation of hindered alkylthioimidazolidinetriones are described.
Abstract: Olefin polymers are described having methylol phenolic groups grafted thereto which modified polymers are useful for preparing improved polymer blends.
Abstract: Thermoplastic elastomeric compositions, comprising blends of high unsaturation diene rubber and polypropylene in which the rubber is cured with certain curatives, exhibit superior properties.
Abstract: Vulcanizable rubber compositions are described which are inhibited from premature vulcanization by activated methylene di(thioethers) in which the adjacent activating groups are either carbonyl or cyano. Novel compounds are also described.
Abstract: Vulcanizable rubber compositions are described which are inhibited from premature vulcanization by inhibitors consisting of a class of N, N'-disulfenyl phthalamides of the formula ##STR1## in which X is phenylene.
Abstract: Compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently are hydrogen, alkyl or aryl are described which compounds are potent inhibitors of premature vulcanization of rubber.
Abstract: Thermoplastic compositions are described comprising blends of chlorinated polyethylene rubber and nylon. Cured compositions in which the rubber is cross-linked are also described. The cured compositions are either thermoplastic or thermosets depending upon the curing process used in their preparation.
