Molecular transport of aromatic hydrocarbons through nylon/ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) blend has been investigated in the temperature range of 25 to 65 °C. The effect of blend ratio on the transport behavior was studied in detail. Nylon/EPR-50/50 blend shows the lowest uptake among all the syste

Abstract
Vapor transport offers one the unique ability to study structure–property relationships in polymers. An analysis of the transport of chlorinated hydrocarbons through nylon/ethylene–propylene rubber (EPR) blend membranes showed us how the permeation behavior varied according to the structure and morphology of the material under study. Binary blends were subjected to solvent transport studies. The solvent uptake increased with EPR content and decreased with nylon content. The behavior varied with the blend morphology. The effects of blend ratio, compatibilization, and dynamic vulcanization on the vapor permeation behavior of nylon/EPR blends were investigated in detail. The results from the vapor permeation studies were complimentary to those of the morphology studies. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 3756–3764, 2004

Transparent nonporous membranes were prepared by blending natural rubber (NR) with epoxidized NR (ENR). These blend membranes were evaluated for the selective separation of chlorinated hydrocarbons from acetone. The flux and selectivity of the membranes were determined both as a function of the blen
