- Abstract
The blending of different elastomers can greatly broaden the application range of rubber materials. However, due to the poor compatibility between polar elastomers and non‐polar elastomers, severe phase separation occurs during the blending process, which severely degrades their processing performance and mechanical properties. In this paper, we prepared SBR‐P/XNBR blends by emulsion blending polar modified styrene‐butadiene rubber (SBR‐P) latex with carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR) latex. The effects of the blending ratios on the vulcanization behavior, mechanical strength, dynamic mechanical properties, and oil resistance of the rubber compounds were studied. Experimental results showed that the mechanical strength and oil resistance of the modified SBR‐P/XNBR blends are significantly higher than the unmodified SBR and XNBR blends. The dynamic mechanical analysis curve results of the rubber compounds showed that SBR‐P has good compatibility with XNBR. With the increasing addition of XNBR, the oil resistance of the rubber compounds improves, and the solvent adsorption is reduced by over 60%.This study proposes a solution for utilizing non‐polar rubbers, which are typically not oil‐resistant, in oily environments. The proposed solution enables the preparation of composites with excellent mechanical properties in such environments.
