In this experiment butadiene rubber(BR)/acrylonitrile butadiene rubber(NBR) blends was prepared and then the applicability of BR/NBR blends as printing rubber roller was examined. With the aid of open 2-roll mill, BR, NBR and another chemical additives were compounded. Then rubber vulcanizates were manufactured by hot press and maximum torque, Mooney viscosity, mechanical properties and oil resistance of the test specimens were measured. With prolonged oil aged treating time, BR/NBR blends became soft and so the hardness of blends decreased. It could be explained by the swelling of rubber matrix with oil penetration in to rubber molecules. The undesirable low value of oil resistance of BR was significantly improved by blending BR with NBR.

PVC was compounded with various crosslinking agents, plasticizers and acrylonitrile butadiene rubber(NBR) to evaluate their effects on the radiation gel percent, elongation at break, heat distortion and heat shrinkage. Gel yield of PVC increased with increasing unsaturation levels per molecular weight of crosslinking agents while PVC containing NBR was more sensitive to crosslinking than PVC itself regardless of the types of crosslinking agents and plasticizers. It was found that gel percent was increased with increasing radiation dose, while heat distortion was decreased with increasing gel percent. Heat shrinkage was increased with decreasing stretching temperature and increasing annealing temperature.

Elastomeric nanocomposites were prepared by employing zinc dimethacrylate into an acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, and their network structures, mechanical properties, and fracture morphologies were investigated according to the adding methods and contents of zinc dimethacrylate. The total crosslink density increased with increasing the zinc dimethacrylate level, due to increased ionic bonds. Both the tensile strength and tear strength increased with increasing zinc dimethacrylate loadings, and then decreased after reaching a maximum value. It was found that the tear strength and crack resistance were greatly affected by the mixing method of zinc dimethacrylate. The in-situ nanocomposites, where zinc dimethacrylate particles were formed by the reaction of zinc oxide and methacrylic acid, showed much improved tear strength and crack resistance compared to those of the nanocomposites based on the direct mixing of zinc dimetacrylate powders. This was because of the finer zinc dimethacrylate particles and improved dispersion of the in-situ nanocomposites.

Herein, a facile approach for the development of effective and low-cost carbon precursors from acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) rubber is reported. ABS rubber with a negligible char yield can be converted into an excellent carbon precursor with approximately 54% char yield under a nitrogen atmosphere at 800℃ by simple iodine doping and subsequent heating at 110℃ under an inert atmosphere. The enhanced char yield is attributed to the improved intermolecular interactions between the ABS chains caused by the formation of covalent bonds between the butadiene segments, along with the newly developed charge-charge interactions and other indiscriminate radical-radical couplings. The charges and radicals involved in these interactions are also generated by iodine doping. We believe that this study will be useful for the development of low-cost carbon precursors.

The tribological properties of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) filled with two kinds of carbon black filler were examined. Different types of Semi-Reinforcing Furnace (SRF), and High Abrasion Furnace (HAF) blacks were used as filler material to test the influence of carbon black particle size on the friction and wear of NBR. Results from tribological tests using a ball on disk method showed that the smaller HAF particles were more effective for reducing the wear of NBR during frictional sliding. The hardness, elastic modulus at 100% elongation, and elongation at break were measured to examine the correlation between the effects of carbon black on the mechanical and tribological properties of the NBR specimens. The wear tracks of the NBR specimens were observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The wear tracks for NBR with different ratios of SRF and HAF showed clearly different abrasion patterns. Mechanisms for the friction and wear behavior of NBR with different sizes of carbon black filler were proposed using evidence from wear track observation, as well as the mechanical and tribological test results.

The thermal degradation of Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)(ABS) terpolymer as well as their mixtures were carried out using the thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) in the stream of nitrogen and air with 50 ml/min at the various heating rate from 4 to $20^{\circ}C/min$ and temperature from 200 to $300^{\circ}C$ The values of activation energies of thermal degradation determined by TG and DSC in the various PMMA/ABS mixtures were $34{\sim}58Kcal/mol,\;35{\sim}54Kcal/mol$ in the stream of nitrogen. The values of activation energy of ABS20% mixture was appeared high in camparison with addition rule. According to increasing the composition of ABS, the temperatures of glass transition and initial decomposition temperature were increased. PMMA/ABS mixtures by the analysis of infrared spectrophotometer were decomposed by main chain scission in the stream of nitrogen.

To manipulate the mechanical properties of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), addition of nano-sized silica on rubber was performed and nano-silica NBR composite (NSR) materials were fabricated by press molding. The effect of volume fraction of silica in the NSR on the spectroscopic and mechanical properties has been studied.

Gold functionalized graphene oxide (GOAu) nanoparticles were reinforced in acrylonitrile-butadiene rubbers (NBR) via solution and melt mixing methods. The synthesized NBR-GOAu nanocomposites have shown significant improvements in their rate of curing, mechanical strength, thermal stability and electrical properties. The homogeneous dispersion of GOAu nanoparticles in NBR has been considered responsible for the enhanced thermal conductivity, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of NBR nanocomposites. In addition, the NBR-GOAu nanocomposites were able to show a decreasing trend in their dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}^{\prime}$) and electrical resistance on straining within a range of 10-70%. The decreasing trend in ${\varepsilon}^{\prime}$ is attributed to the decrease in electrode and interfacial polarization on straining the nanocomposites. The decreasing trend in electrical resistance in the nanocomposites is likely due to the attachment of Au nanoparticles to the surface of GO sheets which act as electrical interconnects. The Au nanoparticles have been proposed to function as ball rollers in-between GO nanosheets to improve their sliding on each other and to improve contacts with neighboring GO nanosheets, especially on straining the nanocomposites. The NBR-GOAu nanocomposites have exhibited piezoelectric gauge factor (${GF_{\varepsilon}}^{\prime}$) of ~0.5, and piezo-resistive gauge factor ($GF_R$) of ~0.9 which clearly indicated that GOAu reinforced NBR nanocomposites are potentially useful in fabrication of structural, high temperature responsive, and stretchable strain-sensitive sensors.

${\gamma}$-Glycidoxy propyl trimethoxy slilane, CTBN rubber(carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile rubber) and GMA(glycidyl methacrylate) were reacted with the surface of silica one by one in existence of TEA(triethylamine) or BPO(benzoyl peroxide). The amount of reactant was 2.5~5.8% of treated silica weight. The treated silica was mixed with epoxy resin and MTHPA(methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride) in the range of 0~60% (wt. %) of total component. The flexural and thermal properties were tested for cured products. In filler content 35~55%, the using of silica treated with silane/rubber or silane/rubber/vinyl represented 25% higher flexural strength, 5% lower flexural modulus and 13% higher than mixing liquid rubber 3% with epoxy resin containing untreated silica.
