- Abstract
Thermorheological properties of thermoplastic elastomeric 60/40, 70/30 and 80/20 nitrile rubber (NBR)/scrap computer plastics (SCP) blends were studied by using parallel plate rheometer. The blends exhibit pseudoplasticity and obey power law model. The dynamically vulcanised blends have higher dynamic viscosities than their unvulcanised counterparts. Surface finish and die swell of the extrudates are improved upon dynamic vulcanisation. The thermoplastic elastomeric blends of NBR/SCP exhibit 'thermorheological complexity'.
