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 effect of the vulcanizing system on the mechanical properties of butyl rubber/ethylene propylene diene monomer–general purpose furnace black–(GPF) blends was studied with static and dynamic mechanical measurements for these blends. The classical theory of elasticity was applied to show the mechanical behavior of the rubber–polymer blend and to calculate the degree of crosslinking. From the dynamic mechanical measurements, the elastic modulus, internal friction, and thermal diffusivity were calculated. The observed variations were explained in view of the role played by both the vulcanizing system and the reinforcing carbon black. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 90: 1539–1544, 2003

The permittivity Ј and dielectric loss Љ for different ratios of an ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)-chloroprene rubber (CR) blend ranging from 0 to 100 phr were measured over a frequency range from 400 Hz to 60 kHz. The measurements were carried out at room temperature (25°C). The values of
