Abstract The objective of the work is to prepare compatible, coherent and technologically feasible blends comprising non-polar EPDM rubber and polar carboxylic-acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (XNBR). Using an efficient sulfur vulcanization system containing bis(diisopropyl) thiophosphoryl disulfide (DIPDIS), a coupling agent cum accelerator, EPDM-XNBR blend has been co-vulcanized. The blend vulcanizates thus produced exhibit substantially enhanced physical properties which are superior to those of either component. The compatibility of the rubber blends as judged by SEM micrographs can further be improved through a two-stage vulcanization process which promotes interphase crosslinking between the polymer phases. The interphase crosslinking was recognized from swelling experiments. The study of the blends containing carbon black reveals a profound increase in physical properties of the vulcanizates as compared to those of gum vulcanizates. The SEM micrographs of the blend vulcanizates both in one-stage and two-stage distinctly indicate the blend morphology, which accounts for the significant improvement in physical properties of EPDM-XNBR blends through in situ reactive compatibilization. A reaction scheme for the interphase crosslinking has been proposed for the co-curing of EPDM-XNBR blend.
