Abstract: It is sometimes desirable to cure rubber compositions utilizing non-sulfur curing agents. The subject invention reveals rubber compositions which can be cured without utilizing sulfur or sulfur containing compounds. The subject invention more specifically discloses a rubber composition which can be crosslinked by heating which is comprised of (1) at least one rubber having pendant blocked isocyanate groups bound thereto; and (2) at least one compound which contains at least 2 Zerewitinoff active hydrogens.This invention also discloses crosslinking of elastomer compounds containing (1) at least one rubber having functionalized groups containing at least one Zerewitinoff active hydrogen and (2) at least one compound which contains at least two blocked isocyanate groups. This invention also discloses self-curing elastomers containing both blocked isocyanate groups and groups containing at least one active Zerewitinoff hydrogen.

Abstract: It has unexpectedly been discovered that 1-(1-isocyanato-1-methylethyl)-3-(1-methylethenyl) benzene(m-TMI) can be emulsion copolymerized with other monomers into useful polymers. For example, it has been found that m-TMI can be emulsion copolymerized with diene monomers to produce polymers which contain pendant isocyanate groups. Such pendant isocyanate groups are useful in a variety of applications. For instance, such pendant isocyanate groups can be utilized as sites to which chemical agents, such as antidegradants, can be bound to the polymer. Elastomers which contain such pendant isocyanate groups are of value since they can be crosslinked without employing sulfur. Elastomers of this type which contain pendant isocyanate groups can also potentially be thermo-reversibly crosslinked.

Abstract: A blend of (I) a thermoplastic material or (II) a rubber polymer with (III) an elastomeric interpolymer, where said interpolymer is prepared by aqueous emulsion polymerizing a monomer mixture comprised of (A) diene, (B) comonomer of selected esters and amides and (C) termonomer selected from (1) vinylic monomers and (2) alkyl esters.

Abstract: An elastomeric interpolymer, method of preparation and blends thereof, where said interpolymer is comprised of (A) a conjugated diene, (B) a comonomer of selected esters and amides and (C) optionally a termonomer selected from at least one of (1) particular conjugated vinylic monomers and (2) selected alkyl esters. The elastomeric interpolymer is particularly useful for the production of industrial goods, especially when blended with thermoplastic materials.
