This invention relates to processable ionic elastomer compositions having improved compression set properties, especially at elevated temperatures. In this invention an intractable ionic elastomer, for example, a sulfonated elastomer is blended with from 10 to 70 parts per hundred of a crystalline polyolefin to yield novel compositions having the above properties. Preferably the ionic elastomer is a sulfonated ethylene propylene terpolymer having from about 0.2 to 20 mole percent sulfonate groups, at least 95% of which are combined with counterions selected from the group consisting of Groups IA, IIA, IB, and IIB of the Periodic Table of Elements, aluminum, antimony, lead, and mixtures thereof. The sulfonated polymer is combined with said counterions by neutralization of a polysulfonic acid precurser with a basic material in which the desired counterion is present as the cation thereof. The anion of said basic material is preferably selected from the group consisting of oxide, hydroxide, and lower alkanoates, for example, acetate, formate, and propionate.

The present invention relates to a process for the viscosification of an organic liquid which comprises the steps of forming a first solution of an anionic polymer dissolved in the organic liquid; forming a second solution of a cationic polymer dissolved in the organic liquid; and mixing the first and the second solutions together to form an interpolymer complex of the anionic and cationic polymer in the organic liquid, wherein the organic liquid containing the interpolymer complex has improved viscosification properties. This solution possesses higher viscosity than the mean of the separate viscosities of the starting solutions at relatively low solids content. Moreover, these interpolymer complexes, in hydrocarbon solutions, can be formulated to exhibit shear thickening at increased shear rates. This property is useful in such technological applications as antimisting of the solvent.
