Abstract Ionomeric polyblends based on the zinc salt of carboxylated nitrile rubber, abbreviated as Zn-XNBR, and the zinc salt of poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid), abbreviated as Zn-EMA, were prepared by melt blending technique. Zn-XNBR/Zn-EMA ionomeric polyblends, in the compositions ranging from 90/10 to 50/50, parts by weight, behave as ionic thermoplastic elastomers, and show synergism in physical properties. The synergism in physical properties is attributed to the formation of a technologically compatible polyblend, wherein intermolecular ionic interactions between the neat ionomers take part in the compatibilization mechanism. Dynamic mechanical thermal analyses show a high temperature transition, owing to the presence of ionic clusters in the neat ionomers and the ionomeric polyblends. The ionomeric polyblend exhibits higher physical properties and melt viscosity than the corresponding non-ionomeric polyblend.

Abstract Metalation of diene polymers such as poly (butadiene) and poly(isoprene) with sec-butyllithium and tetramethylethylenediamine in cyclohexane at room temperature forms lithiated polydienes. Reaction of the polylithiodienes with styrene or α-methylstyrene forms graft copolymers. The extent of metalation is much greater than previously reported metalations with n-butyllithium and tetramethylethylenediamine. The grafting efficiencies, determined by acetone extraction and gel permeation chromatography, are greater than 95 per cent. Graft copolymers of poly (styrene) on EPDM rubbers may also be prepared using this technique. The physical properties of the graft copolymers are a function of molecular weight, graft site level, and composition. Products at specific compositions and graft levels are thermoplastic elastomers. Their properties are comparable to SBS rubbers, and offer as an advantage high melt flow. Graft copolymers of poly(styrene) on poly(ethylene) and poly(ethylene-co-butene-1) result from the hydrogenation of the butadiene moeities of graft copolymers of poly (styrene) on 1,4-poly(butadiene) and 1,2 and 1,4-butadiene copolymers, respectively. Complete hydrogenation results in graft copolymers of poly(vinylcyclohexane) on poly(ethylene) and on poly(ethylene-co-butene-1). In both of these cases thermoplastic elastomers result if the proper choice of composition and graft level is made.

A series of novel thermoplastic elastomers based on (poly(decamethylene terephthalamide/decamethylene isophthalamide), PA10T/10I) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) were synthesized via a facile one-pot, efficient and pollution-free method. The thermal analysis demonstrates that the melting points of the resultant elastomers were in the range of 217.1–233.9 °C, and their initial decomposition temperatures were in the range of 385.3–387.5 °C. That is higher than most commercial polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomers. The tensile strength of the resultant elastomers ranges from 21.9 to 41.1 MPa. According to the high-temperature bending test results, the resultant samples still maintain considerably better mechanical properties than commercial products such as Pebax® 5533 (Arkema, Paris, France), and these novel thermoplastic elastomers could potentially be applied in high-temperature scenes. The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of the resultant elastomers and PA10T/10I was investigated by means of Jeziorny and Mo’s methods. Both of them could successfully describe the crystallization behavior of the resultant elastomers. Additionally, the activation energy of non-isothermal crystallization was calculated by the Kissinger method and the Friedman equation. The results indicate that the crystallization rates follow the order of TPAE-2000 > TPAE-1500 > PA10T/10I > TPAE-1000. From the crystallization analysis, the crystallization kinetics and activation energies are deeply affected by the molecular weight of hard segment.
