Summary
In this paper thermal behavior of some HNBR blends with CPE, PVC, CR and NBR at three temperatures, 150, 170 and 190°C is presented. Changes in characteristic IR bands, gel fraction, and chlorine content were assessed. Some mechanistic differences between the studied systems, regarding the involvement the depletion of chlorine and modification in gel content, were pointed out. Cyclization of nitrile structure was also observed by means of 2240 cm−1 band ascribed to >C=NH. Kinetic considerations are presented.
