NBR/PVC Blends Production, Testing and Applications: An Overview
Abstract: PVC due to its polar nature allows preparation of compatible blends with other polymers. Main and unique property of NBR is its oil resistance and it is used in such application even after higher cost than natural and synthetic rubbers. PVC possesses good oil resistance but needs additional plasticizer which can be extracted by solvents; thus, plastic becomes hard and brittle during the life cycle of the product. There are …
