Abstract: Disclosed herein is an adhesive composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of at least one rubber component selected from the group consisting of unsaturated nitrile-conjugated diene copolymer rubbers prepared by an aqueous suspension polymerization, containing 10-45 wt. % of unsaturated nitrile units in their polymer chains and having a Mooney viscosity (ML.sub.1+4, 100.degree. C.) of 30-100, and hydrogenated unsaturated nitrile-conjugated diene copolymer rubbers obtained by hydrogenating at least part of carbon-carbon double bonds in each of the unsaturated nitrile-conjugated diene copolymer rubbers, and (B) 50-500 parts by weight of at least one thermosetting resin selected from the group consisting of phenolic resins and epoxy resins.

Abstract: An unsaturated nitrile/conjugated diene copolymer rubber is prepared by an aqueous suspension polymerization of a monomer mixture of a conjugated diene monomer, a nitrile group-containing unsaturated monomer and an optional copolymerizable monomer. The suspension polymerization is carried out in an aqueous medium in a reactor provided with an agitating element under the following conditions:(1) the water/monomer mixture weight ratio is from 0.1 to 4,(2) 0.01 to 5 weight parts, per 100 weight parts of the monomer mixture, of a dispersing agent is used, and(3) the agitating element is rotated under conditions such that the speed (U m/sec) of the tip thereof, expressed by the formula: U=.pi..times.D.times.n, is from 1 to 20, wherein D is diameter (m) of the rotation circle of the agitating element and n is number of revolutions (per second) of the agitating element.
