Polynetwork EPDM rubber is EPDM rubber containing both ionomeric and covalent cross-links, and can be formed by treating EPDM rubber with maleic acid or anhydride or fumaric acid to attach succinic groups to the rubber, forming an ionomer thereof with a polyvalent metal oxide, hydroxide or salt, and then covalently cross-linking the rubber, for example, by sulfur vulcanization. Compositions are shown containing the polynetwork rubber in combination with oil and black, optionally in blends with high-diene hydrocarbon rubber, such as natural rubber. |
