Isobutylene based elastomer blends having improved strength, elasticity, and reduced permeability

摘要

The improved green strength, green elongation, and green relaxation properties of isobutylene based elastomers at elevated temperatures along with improved aging and barrier properties are achieved by blending semi-compatible, semi-crystalline polymers with the isobutylene elastomers. The improved properties are maintained in subsequent rubber compounds containing said blends and are particularly useful in tire and pharmaceutical container applications.
