摘要:
The present invention provides a composition suitable for an air barrier such as an automotive tire innertube, innerliner, and aircraft tire innertube or innerliner, curing bladders, and other pneumatic devices. The composition comprises an elastomer comprising C4 to C7 isoolefin derived units; and a plastomer, wherein the plastomer is a copolymer of ethylene derived units and C3 to C10 α-olefin derived units, the plastomer having a density of less than 0.915 g/cm3. In a desirable embodiment, naphthenic and aromatic oils are substantially absent from the composition. In another embodiment, a polybutene processing oil is present. Further, in yet another embodiment, a secondary rubber is also present such as, for example, natural rubber or butyl rubber, or a butadiene-based rubber.

The present invention relates to modified layered fillers made from layered fillers and modifying agents and processes to produce the same. The invention also relates to nanocomposite compositions made from these modified layered fillers and elastomers, and processes to produce the same, and their use in articles.
摘要:
A branched isobutylene-styrenic elastomer with a broad molecular weight distribution is disclosed comprising an interpolymer of an isoolefin monomer as isobutylene, a styrenic monomer such as p-methylstyrene, and a multiolefin such as divinylbenzene. The elastomer has improved green strength, relaxation characteristics, and processability in melt processing, while retaining excellent aging characteristics and barrier properties, and can be used in a blend with a linear isobutylene-p-alkylstyrene elastomer to improve processability of the linear elastomer. Also disclosed are a method for processing the linear elastomer with an effective amount of the branched elastomer to improve processability, and nanocomposites, curable compositions, cured compositions and useful articles formed from the branched elastomer and the linear-branched elastomer blends.
