A new thermoplastic elastomer with improved impact and tensile properties was produced through melt blending of graphene oxide filled nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR-GO) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) without the addition of plasticisers and thermal stabilisers. Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) compounds, with and without graphene oxide (GO) are prepared through latex compounding method and cured, prior to blending with PVC. The effect of NBR and NBR-GO loading on the process-ability and physico-mechanical properties of PVC blends were evaluated. The addition of NBR and NBR-GO improved tensile strength (TS), impact strength and swelling resistance of PVC. Addition of NBR also increased the stiffness of PVC due to higher elasticity of NBR as compared to PVC. Optimum impact strength, TS and swelling resistance was achieved with the addition of 10 wt. % NBR-GO. Good miscibility between NBR and PVC, and additional reinforcement by GO is responsible for enhancement of impact and TS. NBR-GO showed greater miscibility in PVC as compared to NBR as proven by morphological observation under scanning electron microscope. Morphological observation reveals that micro-cracks formation on PVC/30NBR surface which is responsible for low impact, tensile and swelling properties as compared to PVC/30NBR-GO composite.

Samples of thermoplastic elastomers based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) modified with ultrafine detonation-synthesed (nano) diamonds were obtained. It was found that small additives of nanodiamonds improve the strength characteristics and arrange the structure of PVC. A method that allows obtaining a uniform distribution of nanoparticles in a polymer matrix is proposed.

We have studied the impact strength of composites of structural designation containing polypropylene (PP) and 23 wt% nitrile butadiene rubber BNKS-18AMN, obtained by peroxide modification in the presence of polar vinyl monomers: maleic anhydride, its polyester with monoethylene glycol (MEG), and a complex of MEG with aromatic amine antioxidant Diaphene FP (DFP). The composites also contained compatibilisers based on PP or its blends with 10 wt% BNKS-18AMN, modified with analogous peroxide modifying systems. Measurements of impact strength were conducted at temperatures of + 23°C and −30°C; the concentration range of all tested compatibilisers in the composites was 3–20 wt%. The dependence of the impact strength on the content of compatibilisers at both temperatures has a complex extremal nature. It was established that, of all the tested composites, the highest level of impact strength and a relatively slow fall in its values are ensured by a compatibiliser containing complex coagent MEG + DFP. The obtained results may be explained by the increased volume and more homogeneous structure of the transition interphase layer formed under these compounding conditions owing to the specific and effective nature of interaction of the MEG molecules with functional groups of the nitrile butadiene rubber in the interphase region of these composites, promoted by the presence of the secondary aromatic amine complexly bound with the MEG.
