Abstract
The thermal oxidative degradation of an inhibited butadiene–acrylonitrile copolymer has been studied kinetically by means of infrared spectroscopy and color formation in the temperature range 100–200°C. In this type of degradation hydroxyl‐ and carbonylcontaining groups are formed from the decomposition of hydroperoxide or hydroperoxide radicals. The carbonyl groups are ketonic, resulting from a vinyl ketone initially formed by oxidative attack on the tertiary hydrogen and from a competing attack on α‐hydrogen. The interaction of the product of the latter competing reaction forms an intermediate, the decomposition of which requires an activation energy of 18 kcal./mole and yields a carbonyl and hydroxyl group. The radicals and hydroperoxides may also react to give either scission or aggregation. The oxidative products from these reactions give many types of oxygenated groups and radicals.

Stress relaxation of unattached chains of acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer in TDI end-linked acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer has been studied. The advantage of this system is that the polar nature of the TDI crosslinking agent in end-linked acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer can be compensated if
## Abstract Dielectric constants and losses of four kinds of acrylonitrile–butadiene copolymers of different degrees of polymerization were measured in the glass–rubber transition region. Curves of the dielectric losses against frequency showed asymmetric loss curves as often seen in α‐relaxations
