RESEARCH COMPOUNDING OF NITROSO RUBBER TERPOLYMERS
Abstract
Terpolymers were synthesized to give nitroso rubbers having improved processing characteristics and improved low-temperature properties. The terpolymers fall into six types: aromatic-containing, bromine- or chlorine- containing, hydrogen-containing, diene-containing, ester-containing, and miscellaneous. Processing studies were conducted based on the reactive chemical sites contained in the terpolymer. Low-temperature property studies were confined to differential thermal analysis determinations of the second-order transition, Tg, temperatures. The best processing results were obtained with dichlorobenzoyl peroxide crosslinked esters. The low-temperature properties of the terpolymers show promise for an improved processible nitroso rubber.
