Abstract
Using previously obtained data on the solubilities of curatives in SBR, EPDM and in NBR, different mixing procedures were performed on 50/50βSBR/EPDM and NBR/EPDM blends. In contrast to a previous phaseβmixing study, the curatives were added to separate phases before final blending, in an attempt to control the curative distributions in the blends for optimal mechanical properties. Fillers were not applied in the system to exclude their influence on the dispersion of the curatives. The properties of such blends compounded by selective phase mixing are superior to those of blends compounded with normal mixing procedures.

## Abstract The current study provides indications for improving the properties of dissimilar rubber blends. As solubility is a key factor for the distribution and a driving force for the migration of curatives in dissimilar rubber blends, it is of importance to have precise data of their solubilit
A series of ethylene propylene diene rubber/polyethylene (EPDM/PE) blends has been prepared containing different weight fractions of PE up to 0.66. The blends were vulcanized with a sulphur system N-cyclohexyl-2-benzthiazol sulphenamide/sulphur (CBS/S), and a non-sulphursystem dicumyl peroxide (DCUP
## Abstract The miscibility and some physicomechanical characteristics of chlorinated polyethylene rubber (CPE) and nitrile rubber (NBR) blends have been investigated. Calculation of the heat of mixing, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that CPE was
